I have agreed..reluctantly...to do my neices wedding cake. It will need to feed 250. She has picked out a stacked cake and I have NEVER stacked a cake before. I have been trying to read up on it and everyone is talking about the new support system...but I am not going to pay that much when I am only going to be using it one time. My question is, which would be the easiest, most sturdy, and less time consuming...dowels or straws. If the answer is dowels, what tool do I need to cut them...if the answer is straws, are there a certain brand that is stronger and better to use. Any suggestions on stacking would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou so much1
