Am wondering if anyone has some tips they are willing to share about icing/working with cake dummies?
Please and thank you.

Ahahahaha your title made me giggle, esp after the week I've had dealing w "dummy" clients!

Just work with them like you would a normal cake you get a little more lee-way because yu can be firmer with them, than you could a normal sponge. I love working with dummies, no buldges or air pockets or anything x lol

The only thing different is that they're lighter so tend to move around a bit on your turntable, and are perfect.

Take a piece of styrofoam and round off the sharp edges. Use piping gel to cover the dummy before putting on fondant. You can fill in any holes/dents with royal icing.

Talk slowly and don't use big words.

I also have 3 nails through a cake drum, and use that exclusively for decorating dummies. Then I take the dummy off that and place on it's own board/another tier. A cake drum is not ideal because it is also light, so wood would be better I think.
I use shelf liner matting under the drum to stop it shifting around on the turntable.

Thank you everyone for the help.
Just got some dummies and been dying to play around with them.
Glad I was able to give a giggle or two also.
Thank you.
And I apologize for double posting the question. Didn't mean to do that. My internet was acting funny earlier and I didn't think the question went thru. Sorry.
