Product Information

Full details

The Simply Making 6-inch round cake dummy is designed for professional bakers, cake decorators, and hobbyists looking to create pristine display pieces or practice intricate icing techniques. Its standout benefit is the high-density EPS 100 structure, which ensures sharp, straight edges for flawless fondant and buttercream applications. While it offers excellent durability for reuse, users should be mindful that it is primarily intended for display and practice purposes rather than consumption.

FAQs

Can I eat the cake dummy?

No, this product is made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and is not edible.

Is this dummy heat-resistant?

Polystyrene is sensitive to high heat. Avoid exposing it to direct heat sources or boiling water as it may melt or deform.

Can I use this for a cake that will be served?

Cake dummies are for display and practice only. They should never be used as a structural component inside a cake meant for consumption.

How do I remove dried icing from the dummy?

Soak the dummy in lukewarm water for a few minutes to soften the icing, then gently wipe away with a soft cloth.

Does the 4-inch depth apply to all sizes?

This specific model measures 4 inches deep and 6 inches in diameter. Other sizes in the range may have different dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Fondant sliding off the dummy

Apply a very thin layer of piping gel or slightly thinned buttercream to the dummy surface before applying the fondant to act as an adhesive.

Surface is slightly dusty or has foam debris

Use a clean, dry soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface before you begin decorating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the dummy for decoration, ensure the surface is free of dust or manufacturing debris. If you are attaching fondant, you may find that applying a thin layer of piping gel or buttercream helps the medium adhere more securely to the foam surface.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: Hand wash gently with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh scouring pads that could gouge the foam.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the polystyrene.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard decorating mediums including fondant, sugar paste, buttercream, and royal icing. Ensure any adhesives used are food-safe if the dummy is intended for a display that will be near food items.
