The Simply Making 6-Inch Round Straight Edge Cake Dummy is designed for professional cake decorators, hobbyists, and bakery owners who need a reliable base for creating long-lasting display cakes. Its primary benefit is the precision-cut, straight-edge design that allows for flawlessly smooth fondant and icing application, though users should note that as it is made of dense polystyrene, it requires careful handling to avoid surface dents before icing.

No. This product is made of polystyrene and will melt or release toxic fumes if placed in an oven.
Yes, it is durable enough to be washed and reused, provided you clean it carefully without using harsh chemicals.
Yes, Simply Making offers various sizes in the straight-edge range, including 4-inch and 5-inch diameters.
A light coating of piping gel or a very thin layer of buttercream acts as the best adhesive to keep fondant firmly attached to the polystyrene.
While the dummy itself is not meant to be eaten, it is standard practice to use a barrier like parchment paper or a cake board if the dummy is placed directly beneath edible tiers.
Lightly sand the polystyrene surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create a texture that the icing can grip, or apply a thin layer of piping gel first.
Fill small dents with a tiny amount of modelling paste or royal icing, allow it to dry, and sand it flush with the surface before covering.
To prepare the dummy for use, ensure the surface is free of dust or manufacturing debris. If you are applying royal icing or heavy buttercream, consider a light sanding if a smoother finish is required. For reuse, wash the dummy gently with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry completely before storing. If you need to stack this 6-inch dummy with other sizes, use standard cake dowels or a small amount of non-toxic glue to keep the tiers stable. Always use a sharp, dry serrated blade if you choose to carve the polystyrene, as this minimizes 'beading' or loose foam debris.
