Attaching the two dummy cakes together with tooth picks works better rather than using the glue. Less messy and no need to wait, also if you want to reuse them its better.

Is a sponge ok to cover in fondant or is it too soft? A lot of opinions out there.
thank you for your tutorial video,will this fondant dummy cake hold up outside in a very hot humid weather?
This is a good one thanks
Hi , thank you for sharing this. I want to ask about fondant cake, how long you can keep decorated fondant cake in fridge? Thank you ❤️
Hello, great channel I have learnt alot from you. I would like to ask you to give us a fondant and gum paste recipe and tutorial. I have difficulties with them. Thank you.
You are the best 😍
thank for ur advice.😭I try to make a fontant but i need more practice.
How long will the dummy last for? id like to use it to showcase my cake topper and wondered if the icing would eventually crack or anything? thanks
great video..
Thank you for doing this tutorial. I used a dummy cake that had a heart cut threw the middle. I had no clue what I was doing, thank goodness it was only family that saw it. Lol😅. Now maybe next time, I can show one off.
Hi Karen, You are very welcome. I am just so glad it will be useful to you. Good luck covering your dummy cake next time. The ones with the cutouts can be a little tricky. If you ever have any questions just let me know.
I question with the glue you used around the foam does it work well if you have it outside or will the pink layer melt?
Thank you thank you thank you for this video.
You are so welcome!
Thank you ❤️
Amazing video 💜 You
Wow Ang galing nm

Thank you for sharing your ideas
Can I do Practice on cake tin pan
Waiting for your reply plz
Love this, can I ask your advice as to how to stop fondant from tearing around top edge. I have tried using dummies but fondant always tears and its so annoying. I have tried smoothing the edges first but I have same problem. Thank you
I have the same problem!
I use a lil veg shortning in mine for that problem and cracking.
Does the cake dry okay? Does it last a while without looking dull?
Thank you
Thanks for this video, I want to practice so this is perfect 👍
You are very welcome Aniela, I am so glad this will help you practice.
Can I remove the fondant later on ?
Thanks for sharing! Can I use the dummy again or is there no way of taking the fondant off?
Hi, Yes definitely. Once you are ready to strip the dummy cake off I usually really carefully try and push in a knife at the bottom and leaver the fondant off. You can then wash the dummy cake and leave it to dry.
Hi, can i also cover a styrofoam dummy with buttercream?
Hope i get an answer🌹
Can you use this technique when it come to learning how to crumb coat and then butter cream frosting?
Hi, yes from the point when I cover the dummy cake in fondant it would be the same technique you would use to cover a cake which is covered in buttercream. I have a more detailed video explaining the way I cover cakes in fondant, smoothing it onto the cake and getting sharp edges. I have put a link to this in the description below the video and a link at the end if this would also be of use to you.
This was very helpful, had no idea that the polystyrene could dissolve with certain glues. Was about to put hot glue gun on mine, that would've been a mess!
Hahahahaa
Cute
Do you threw this foundant to trash after the training or what
Is it editable fondant???
How long does this last without spoiling?
Can i use water?
Why the fondant always crack at the edge of the dummy? I'm using water for stick the fondant to the dummy
how can you store dummy cakes?
Hey Lynz where do you buy your dummy’s from? I can’t find any that are tall enough. 😭
Hi, I usually get my dummy cakes from The Cake Decorating Company as they have ones that are 5 inches tall.

How long in advance can you do a dummy cake
Hey the fontain which I have used in dummy can i reuse it ans how can reuse the dummy
Hi, Because fondant dries hard once it has been used on a dummy cake you wouldn't be able to use it again but you can definitely reuse the dummy cakes over and over again.
