Love the “dummy grabber”. Thanks for the tip!
Wow this is really helpful. Thank you so much for this demo
Wow! I am so glad I came across your channel. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you! Very well done and helpful!
Amazing tutorial and great sharing
Great job!
Great DIY tip ! Especially if you want to re-use the board for another dummy cake.Or use the upside down covering method. Evil Cake Genius has a cake grip tool for dummies. I just hot glue my dummy to the board as most of my cake dummies will be on display for a fair amount of time .
Great tutorial and short and simple 'dummy grabber' for the name of your gadget 👏🏻
Thank you! And love the name too! 😁
Hi Rob, you could call this the dum-drum! It’s a great idea !! Thanks for sharing ;)
Love it! 😁
Thank you for all theses informations. Very usefull 😊
Thanks for watching - I’m so pleased you found it helpful... ☺️
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I am making my first dummy cake this month, so this information is very helpfull!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
You were a life saver tonight. I found a hardboard thin cake board and followed your instructions. I also covered the cake dummy with Trex, so much easier to work with. Covered the 8” diameter x 5” tall like a dream compared with challenges I faced when icing a 4” diameter x 4” tall cake tier earlier today, that was a nightmare! I’m going to make a few more boards in different sizes for future use. Thank you so much for sharing 😇
Oh, what brilliant news! I’m so pleased that it was useful… ☺️
You are amazing 🤩 I would love to be able to have one of your wonderful amazing dummy cakes as I'm unable to afford one for my wedding due to personal reasons , I'm a huge fan of yours 🤩
Weighted round! That’s what I would call it!
Another fab video. I wonder do you have any tips for avoiding air bubbles. They really are my nemesis. I cover my cakes exactly the same way as you have here and get on grand. Then those perky air bubbles appear. SOS Please help ❤
Thank you. I just bought the dummy cakes and was a bit intimidated as to what to do. Perfect!!
awesome video! as for your gadget, may I suggest you call it "dummy cake holder" 😉
Call it what it is, a dummy cake holder. Great tutorial.
Thanks for watching. 😊
Omg that's so good. Can you HELP I'm trying to cover my dummy cake but I keep getting dents in my fondant and it looks horrible and not flush. How can I make it like yours. Thanks ❤
Hi, I live on a small Mediterranean island where no poly dummy cake shapes are available. Can I cover a homemade cardboard round with fondant or would sparkling be easier? It's only for a photo shoot
How about Cake Anchor platform? Thanks for a fun and informative video.
Thanks for your tuto, brief and clear
Please tell me, is it safe to make the bottom tier of a 4tier cake dummy (the 3 others real cake) ? Is it sturdy enough ? Thank you so much
Yes, absolutely. A polystyrene dummy is strong enough to support three tiers of real cake, without any need for dowels. x
If using buttercream to cover the cake should you also cover with vegetable shortening first?
No😇
How long can the cake sit out with the fondant on it?
'Dummy board' works for me.
😊
Can you use Stork margarine to stick the fondant or does it need to be Trex?
Margarine goes bad, whereas Trex doesn’t really, so I probably wouldn’t risk it… 🤔
lovely tutorial thank you! Could I cover a dummy cake with chocolate ganache?
Absolutely! You’ll definitely need something like this to hold it steady though.
Thank you very much! I have made one of your gadgets, and named it cake spike board😅😃😃… and it works beautifully!
If I need this for March, could I make it in January and it still look good?
As long as you keep in a cardboard cake box to keep it out of direct sunlight and to prevent it getting dusty, it will be absolutely fine. ☺️
Will it slide off in high temperature environment due to the butter?
It shouldn’t do. ❤️
Surely it would be a lot easier and quicker to use some kind of double sided tape such as foam tape.
I call my my one Vlad the Impaler. Lol
how long does the fondant/shortening last before it spoils?
Fondant/sugarpaste doesn’t really spoil because sugar is a preservative, but you wouldn’t want to eat it after it has been sat out collecting dust for a while… 😳
@@MrBakersCakeSchool well not to eat, but to reuse without reapplying a base coat of fondant. I’m planning to use it for cake photography.
As long as you keep it clean and dust free, it’ll last indefinitely. xx
Where can I purchase the large cake smoother?
The clear one? It’s the Sharp Edge Smoother: www.cakesbycarol.org.uk/product/sharp-edge-smoother-acrylic-cake-smoother/
Really helpful thanks Rob, gives me confidence to try covering a polystyrene dummy. I suggest naming your invention the 'polygrip' or 'polygrab''. Looking forward to part deux this week, (hopefully please without the distracting music, makes it harder to hear you ...) xx
I have a vague feeling that Polygrip is already a product used to hold dentures in one’s mouth... 🤔😂
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll have a think about the music. I feel it needs something for the bits where I speed things up and drop the sound, but maybe there is a way I can mute it when I am speaking without it sounding too choppy (which is an issue I’ve had in the past)... x
can you mix paint color to it
How do you mean? Add colour to the fondant or paint on the covered cake?
How to do you cover a square dummy
Oh dear, looks like Prop Options beat you to it Rob!!

Well how’s about THAT for timing?!! 😂
