I am about to start using for the experience and to create a portfolio (for lack of a better word). Do dummies need to be covered, iced, to display the decorations. Can I just add the flowers, cut-outs, whatever without actually covering the dummy cake. In a pic I'm hoping it just looks like white icing. What think? Thanx
Then you can do a different design on the other side!
I think that if you really want good pictures, you should cover the dummy. Some cameras capture a lot of details.
I think you're right. Took sample pic and styrofoam details details showed on close-up.
Other than true frosting or fondant what can I use. I don't want to waste my good stuff.
Some people suggest using wilton's fondant for practice. I use hte same frosting and fondant I use for real cakes for 2 reasons. First, the people who see the picture don't have to know it's a dummy. Second, the "practice" cake makes me see how long I have to work at it and sometimes I can change my mind and decide I don't want to sell that kind of cake or I can put a bigger price to cover the extra work and materials.
