Where is the best place to buy styrofoam to make dummy cakes? I went to a local hobby store and they had styrofoam in small disks, maybe an inch thick. I was thinking for a dummy cake, I would need something a little thicker, at least 4 inches or so. What do you recommend? |

Without knowing where you are .....
I order mine from d a l l a s - f o a m . c o m . The 1" styro's you see in the craft dept tend to be a lot more porous than a regular cake dummy, which is totally smooth for smoother icing. |

At Michaels they carry the styrofoam sheets that are 2in thick. You can cut the sheets with a band saw to any size that you need. It is cheaper to buy the sheet and cut it than it is to buy the rounds, especially when you use a coupon on it.
I haven't bought from [blocked] since I am a last minute person and never have time to wait for shipping. One day I will, but until then I know I can get it when I need it quickly.  |
