Designed for cake decorators and bakers seeking a professional finish, the Simply Making 16-inch round straight edge cake dummy provides a sturdy foundation for practice and display work. Its primary benefit is the 90-degree edge, which allows for effortless, crisp fondant application that saves significant preparation time compared to traditional beveled alternatives. Please note that while the compressed EPS 100 polystyrene is durable, it is not food-safe for direct contact with edible cake layers and is intended solely for structural support, practice, or display purposes.

No, this dummy is made of EPS polystyrene and should not come into direct contact with food or be inserted into edible cake layers.
Yes, buttercream adheres well to the surface, but ensure you clean it thoroughly if you intend to reuse it.
Gently soak the dummy in warm water until the icing softens, then carefully peel away the layers.
This model features a 5-inch depth, providing a tall, professional profile for your displays.
Yes, it provides a stable, non-reactive base suitable for modelling chocolate and various sugar pastes.
Ensure a thin, even coat of piping gel or royal icing is applied as an adhesive primer before draping the fondant.
Use a sharp, serrated knife and perform long, slow strokes rather than sawing motion to maintain structural integrity.
Use a ribbon or decorative icing border to conceal the interface between the dummy and the cake board.
Before use, ensure your workspace is clear of debris. To cover, apply a thin layer of piping gel or buttercream to the dummy to help your fondant adhere correctly. When applying sugar paste, start from the top center and work outward to avoid air bubbles. For care, gently hand wash the dummy with mild soap and lukewarm water if you intend to reuse it, ensuring it is completely dry before subsequent applications. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from becoming brittle over time. Always ensure the dummy is placed on a sturdy, non-slip cake board that is at least 1-2 inches larger than the 16-inch diameter for proper support.
