Cake dummies can be decorated to look like an actual cake and is used where you would like to display an multi tiered cake and do not need to serve a lot of portions of cake.
To cover a cake dummy with various icings and coatings, please ensure that you soften the edges of your dummies before covering them as this will prevent fondant from being cut by the dummy. Coat your dummy with piping gel before covering with fondant or butter icing as this facilitates that the icing adheres to the dummy.
