White Cake Dowel Rods — 15 Pieces, 9.5 Inch

Fifteen white plastic dowels at 9.5 inch — a small pack for one or two cakes rather than a bulk box. White reads as part of the cake if a rod sits slightly proud, which is why most decorators keep white rather than clear for pale buttercream work. A small pack also suits anyone building a tiered cake once or twice a year, where a box of two hundred would sit in a cupboard until it yellowed. Fifteen rods covers two or three tiers comfortably.

Care & Use

Measure one dowel against the tier and cut the rest to match. Push them in vertically — a leaning dowel transfers weight sideways and is the usual cause of a slumped tier. Wash and dry after use.
