hi all!! i am making a small two tier cake for my anniversary similar to the one in the picture made by flouring kitchen. i used two 6 inch heart shaped pans and i plan on putting a strawberry filling in between the layers. i have been reading up and am wondering if i need dowels even though the layers are the same shape? we will not be transporting it, but i also don’t want it to just cave in. also, if i do need them, how do you cut around dowels?

The fear of caving is for cakes with many layers or multiple tiers. Unless you’re using a super super soft cake (like chiffon), you should be good to stack without dowels!
For future reference, you generally remove the dowels before cutting if you do use them.
No need to dowel. Good luck. Can’t to see the finished cake
I know it’s supposed to say Me but I can’t read that as anything other than Call M5.
