Cake Dummies - Found An Inexpensive Online Store!
Decorating By ChrisJ Updated 22 Feb 2007 , 5:44am by pampered
Hi CC members!
I wanted to share this IN-EXPENSIVE online store I found last week for cake dummies. I ordered them late last week & received them today.
I bought the set of 5 rounds, each dummy 4" in height. The sizes were 6", 8", 10", 12" and 14" and paid only $12.99 for the entire set! I also bought the whimsical/topsy turvy 3-piece set, sizes 14", 10" & 6" which was $19.25 for the set. The shipping is also reasonable.
They have heart shapes, ovals, petal, square, & hexagon shapes.
I can't wait to start playing

I checked and the website is www.dallas-foam.com. You have to use the hyphen between dallas and foam. I ordered from them and was very happy with their prices and shipping costs. The only thing is you have to call them for a shipping quote but they're very helpful.
I placed an order from Dallas Foam last month and they have pretty good prices and very good customer service.Here a picture of what I got for $13.67 (like 15 dummies and S/H was $11.71, I live in NY).In other places I only can have like 3 or 4 dummies for that price.
I just compared both sites - looks like Dallas Foam sells the dummies separately, but Taylor Foam sells sets (and I guess individuals as well - didn't look too hard). Just for fun, I priced the equivalent of Taylor's round and square sets at the Dallas site...here's how they compare:
Round (6", 8", 10", 12", 14"): $12.99 for the set at Taylor, $9.88 total at Dallas
Square (same sizes): $12.99 for the set at Taylor, $8.12 total at Dallas.
BUT...by the time I added in the shipping (and Dallas does have a link to calculate shipping costs based on zip code), the grand totals came up to $38.33 at Taylor and $38.30 at Dallas.
I didn't play around with any other combinations, but for ordering a round & a square set, either site costs about the same!
Just thought I'd share.

It's always good to have more than 1 place to shop. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tips. I just ordered the square and round sets from Taylor Foam. I can't wait to get my new "toys".
Only to the US....Sometimes I hate where I live. I've noticed that a lot of companies do not ship outside of the U.S., does anybody know why? Is shipping really that much more?
Yes it is cost more and each country has different shipping requirements. For example the package can only be a certain size. I shipped a 10lb box and it cost $28.00. (to Australia)
Also there might be a duty the customer has to pay.

Where does one calculate the costs? I can't find a link for that on the website.
I'm not sure if anyone knows about this site, but I think their prices are even cheaper.

Shipping for the set is only about $10.
I would have ordered from Dallas-Foam, but by the time I added in shipping (of nearly $26.00), it was cheaper to buy them from my local store! Although their individual prices were higher, I still saved money in the long run! Too bad I don't live closer to them (and I wouldn't be snowed in right now)!
Thanks for the great information!!
Here's a link that should work: www.dallas-foam.com
