Thank you so much ma for these videos. You are amazing. I would like to know from some experiences, while putting the dowel rods the cakes tend to break or bulge out on the sides. And also I notice if I cover the mouth of the pipes before placing it, it puts pressure at the base of the cake? What can be the solution to the tearings of the cake? Thanks

@OluchiImoh

You're most welcome From a hard ware store. I have never done this and can't quite recommend but I want to believe it's possible but this largely depends on the size, number of tiers and their positions. Also, you need to drill a hole in the dummy before stacking so that the rod can easily pass through without much pressure on the real cakes.

Yes but it depends on quite a number of factors. Caveat The Cake tiers are not too large and more than two. The driver is a careful and meticulous one. The distance isn't so far. Cakes are not moist that they can't withstand the pressure of Nigerian roads. Cakes are dry enough to be dowelled. The position during the trip is a safe one for the Cakes. These are some I can remember for now.
