Cake Dowels
At Windsor
Cake Craft, we take great pride in offering a wide selection of top-quality
cake dowels, also commonly referred to as cake rods or dowels for cake. These
reliable structural supports are essential for creating beautifully tiered and
stable cake designs, ensuring your creations stand tall and impress on any
occasion.
Cake dowels, also known as cake rods or dowels for cake, are
essential tools in the world of cake decorating. These sturdy cylindrical
supports play a crucial role in creating multi-tiered cakes with stability and
structural integrity. When assembling tiered cakes, it's vital to ensure that
each layer is adequately supported to prevent collapsing or shifting.
Cake dowelling rods are typically made from food-safe
materials like plastic or food-grade wood, ensuring they are safe for direct
contact with the cake. These dowels are inserted into the lower tiers to bear
the weight of the layers above, effectively distributing the load and keeping
the cake steady. By using cake dowels, bakers can confidently craft towering
and impressive cake creations, knowing that their structural foundation is
solid and secure.
So, if you're eager to craft your own towering and
magnificent cake masterpiece, don't forget to check out our cake boxes
for layered cakes to complement your baking expertise.
Cake pillars are elegant and essential elements in the world
of cake design, adding a touch of sophistication and height to tiered
creations. These slender and decorative supports, often made from materials
like acrylic or plastic, serve as sturdy columns that separate and elevate each
cake tier.
A pillar cake stand, designed to accommodate these cake
pillars, allows for seamless assembly and presentation of multi-tiered
masterpieces. Particularly popular in wedding cake designs, these pillars
create a captivating visual effect, making the cake stand tall and regal,
making it the centrepiece of any celebration.
Whether you're a professional cake artist or a couple
planning their dream wedding cake, incorporating cake pillars into your design
ensures a stunning and memorable cake presentation that will delight both the
eyes and taste buds of your guests.
