I'm so impressed! I am going to be making a Blue's Clues cake, similar to this one: http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1287142 However, the head on that cake was made using Rice Krispie Treats, and I'd prefer to have the head be made of cake too. I've never made a 3D cake or used dowels before. I was trying to follow your instructions for how to assemble the dowels and support discs, but I can't visualize how it's all put together. Your diagram for the whole cake is awesome! Any chance you have one for just the dowel support system? You mention putting wire through the disc and the dowel. Are your dowels hollow? Dowel to me means a solid wooden dowel. Are yours PVC or store-bought plastic cake dowels? Can I use PVC instead? I think I'd only need one support disc - where the head meets the body.. but I'm not certain how to construct the supports. I'm not sure what MDF is. Would cake rounds be sufficient, or do I need something sturdier? Can you offer any guidance on how you would go about supporting a cake like the one shown in the link above? I will be transporting it 10 minutes down the road to my sister's house. Sorry for asking so many questions, but I figured it's best to ask an expert (YOU)! Thanks so much! PS - How do you cut into a cake with dowels and discs? Do you just carve around the dowels? Hi Jonny,
