Description

Dummy cakes are also a useful item to have on hand when you start going to different cake expos to promote your baking business. Once you make a dummy cake, you can simply store it somewhere safe and keep re-using it for as long as it stays in fashion. You can also use them as display items in your store. With cake dummies, the learning possibilities are endless. Every product is easy-to-clean and perfect for decorators to finetune designs! Polystyrene cake dummies can withstand layers upon layers of fondant and buttercream. Additionally, you can bury accessories into your fake cake since the polystyrene will pierce. Whether you'd like to experiment with candle placement or plan to fit cake pops to the perimeter of a sponge, your dummy can support the weight. They can also be used in multi-tiered cakes for weddings and special events. Some people may want the look of a five-tier cake, but only want two tiers of real cake. In some cases, using a dummy cake in tiers instead of a real cake can save money.

And finally, if you want to build up a business portfolio but don’t want to eat cake for the next year, dummy cakes are the way to go. You can essentially make and decorate 10 cakes for almost the price of making one real cake. To smooth the sides, you can use your rolling pin and rub it on the edges to make it rounded. I for one, do not like to smooth the edges of my cake dummies as I prefer my cake to have sharp edges after covering with fondant. But if you do wish to have rounded edges for your dummies, you know you can simply use your rolling pin to smooth them.The fondant definitely adds weight, but you could glue them with styrofoam glue or tape them with heavy duty duct tape to a board if you’re concerned. Add 1/8 cup of milk to mix until smooth. You may add more milk to reach desired consistency. Set frosting aside. Step Four: Smooth Styrofoam Cake When stored properly, dummy cakes can last years. And because the styrofoam isn’t biodegradable, we highly recommend reusing them instead of tossing the entire thing. It will also save you money! In Conclusion

The lines and spaces do not quite get covered with the first coat of icing. I let the foams rest for a while after the first coat (about 30 minutes) until the icing sets. Covering a dummy cake with fondant is not all that hard if you’re already comfortable covering real cakes, but there are a few tips that make the job easier. We’re sharing them here. Just as it is important to attach the cake board to the turntable, connecting the dummy cake and the cake board is equally important. You can use tape for this purpose, too. However, you can also melt chocolate and apply it like glue instead. Place the cake table on the turntable. You may use a few pieces of tape to secure the cake table if you are worried about it coming off. Step Six: Place Styrofoam Cake on Turntable Dummy cakes have been spotted at some events -- such as weddings -- as actual alternatives to traditional cakes. The thing about a dummy cake is that it can be quite rigid, and as such, molded into radical shapes that a traditional cake just won't hold.

How To Make Fake Cake Icing

There are a couple of steps to making a dummy cake at home. Each step is easy on its own. Together, they may just take some time. But think of it this way, you make one dummy cake that can last you years! Step 1: Buy the styrofoam cakes
