fondant on a 15 x 11 x 2" sheet cake

I want to put fondant on a 15 x 11 x 2" sheet cake for a baby shower. Then put another square cake on top 9 x 9 x 2" cake. Shall I need dowels?

From the editor:

Hi Hilda,

Yes, you will need dowels for support, since the fondant will make the cakes quite heavy.

When in doubt, always add the dowels.

Regards,
Michelle (editor)

Thank you very much for your answer.

I put 8 dowels around and one in the middle. Even though, this time I had a lot of problems with the fondant (it broke many times when I lifted, then finally, I put it on and cover some cracks with decorations), I had a lot of compliments. I don't think my fondant recipe is very good. Do you have a good recipe?

Thanks again,
Hilda
