re: just out of curiosity....

Early on in my cake career, I sent out several cakes with no dowels whatsoever. No more than 2 tiers, but I was very lucky that none of them slipped or sunk. Still, if you have the presence of mind to remember them, always better! Of course the sleep deprivation will always play a part there.
