Strengthen and support your tiered cakes with these PME Easy Cut Dowels.
Support your cake tiers with these Easy Cut Dowels by PME.
Dowels are essential in making sure that the tiers of your cake don’t collapse in on themselves and with these Easy Cut Dowels, you can be safe in the knowledge that your cake will support itself.
The Easy Cut Dowels are made from durable, food grade plastic and come from one of the most well-known and quality assured companies in the decorating industry. With the Easy Cut Dowels, PME have created a support structure that is both easy to use and cost effective.
The dowels can easily be cut down to the height you require using a good pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp craft knife, making it much easier to ensure that all of your dowels are the same size to support your tier. The dowels can then simply be pushed into the cake and your next tier placed on top.
They are also great value as you can cut a single dowel to make several smaller ones, meaning you will use less overall to support your cake.
Unlike some other solid wooden or plastic dowels that can be prone to collapsing, the PME Easy Cut Dowels remain sturdy and are also food safe unlike wooden dowels.
Each dowel is approximately 1cm wide and 30cm (16”) long.
To safeguard our staff and adhere to social distancing we have less staff currently packing in our warehouse. This means that unless you order for next day delivery, your order may not be dispatched the same day.
Our couriers tell us that they are experiencing very large delivery volumes (akin to Black Friday levels) as everyone is now restricted to shopping online.
This means you should expect around 48 hours added to standard delivery times.
90 - 98% of Next Day deliveries are arriving on time.
Our couriers are all working with reduced resources to safeguard their staff which we totally respect.
In short, please allow a little extra time to receive your order (it'll be worth it, we promise!) We're very thankful to the lovely couriers and our Warehouse Heroes working extra hard to deliver happy mail to us in these unprecedented times.
