Where would I get a 18' dummy for a good price?? I don't even know where to start looking!!

your local cake supply store should carry them....I usually make my own just out of reg. stryofoam, (from the craft store) cutting the shape and size I need....I buy the large sheets 2" thick and cut with a surraded knife. you can smooth out the ruff edges by using another piece and rubbing like sand paper....I just give them a good coat of icing and haven't had any problems..... If you are going to reuse them, fyi, they don't clean up as easy but it can be used again....hope this helps

Hi, here is an online shop,

HTH.

If you want it ready to go out of the box without sanding and whatnot, T aylor Foam is the way to go. They sell the rounded edges, perfect for fondant.

thanks! I'll check it out

i used taylor foam and i love my dummy cakes. i just want to know what people do as far as being able to reuse them and clean them. i covered mine in saran wrap and iced in buttercream then when i was done scraped it all back off. i heard about permaice and using royal icing. does anyone have any recommendations. i don't want bugs getting to them. also what about using different colors on top of white royal icing or permaice...does it wipe back off ok?
