Hi
I am going to order some cake dummies for display purposes
I have try to work on them and they are so light weight they do not stay put
on the cake stand
I have tried a little BC on the bottom to hold in place not working
Any suggestions Please OR is there a heavy weight cake dummy ??
thx

I love this pronged insert, if you already have the base:

If I'm decorating a dummy layer and using foam core or cardboard base, I jut nail 3 nails through the bottom in
to the dummy

Sweetwise in Nashville sells an insert like the one on Amazon, for a lot cheaper. I have it & love it. Think I paid maybe $10 for it. The only difference is that they use screws instead of the plastic prongs, so it isn't all white...but I think it's stronger. They have a website.

Just a question for everyone. Are you having trouble covering them with fondant or decorating after the fondant is applied? Do you stack them first or leave them unstacked for decorating? I only cover foam dummies and have never had a problem with them sliding around. I decorate them after the cake is completely stacked and stuck together. The weight of each fondant covered layer prevents the cake from sliding around.
