This was our cake and I felt that I should comment.
What you are seeing are NOT dowel marks, we had the small vinylmation bride/groom as our cake topper. They were moved off the cake so we could cut it without them tumbling off, and what you are actually seeing in that shot are the imprints left from their 'feet' because the fondant was very soft. If you look in front of the cake you can see the 2 vinylmations laying in front.
We had amazing service from Heather and Jay at It's Tasty Too and I don't want anyone else thinking that our cake was in any way 'damaged' or 'imperfect'. The link below is a photo that they took before delivery and you can clearly see that the top of the cake is completely smooth and flat.

I am sorry that the previous poster had such a negative experience, but it looks as though Heather did her utmost to rectify the situation. Our cake was perfect, and I would highly recommend them.
