That's not the web-site I typed in there must be a catch if you type another web-site.

Anyway I did get you mixed up with a website simular to yours.

Thanks! I just tried again and it worked - but the shipping is $45 for $60 worth of cake dummies....I'll have to rethink if I really need all the ones I put in the shopping cart!!

whoa! That's alot of cake dummies and I bet the larger shipping is because they have to use at least 2 boxes to put your order in to ship. Another box runs up their shipping costs I bet. All mine barley fit in 1 huge box!

You know what, it's really not as bad as I thought - I just looked at some other sites and their prices plus lower shipping is more that dallas foam was - guess I just didn't expect it!!!

I just came across this web-site for recipes.

Talk about high shipping - stay away from sugarcraft.

I've been loking for awhile for these and I just couldn't beat their prices even with their shipping.

Thanks! thumbs_up.gif

I've used dummies.....LOVE them btw!! I recently took someone's advice on here and went to the local Lowes to by the stuff to make them myself. That was about 3 months ago....DH still hasn't cut them out. I think I'll be looking into this company!!
I use press-n-seal to cover the dummies and it works great. When I first did it I had a lot of wrinkles so I cut it into pieces....one for the top, one bottom and then the sides. Came out smooth and since it was sicky I just lifted the cake up and peeled the bottom off and it all came with it! Very little mess! thumbs_up.gif

PS I use RI to keep my cakes on the boards....I let it sit for an hour or so and don't have any trouble.

I use to cover with wrap. Now I just use them the way they are and wash. That seems to work for me.

It's funny to see you here, I was thinking about taking a ride out to your store tomorrow. You are about 30 miles from me but it's worth the drive.

I noticed you changed your web-site. Maybe it's because I haven't gotten use to it but I liked the old site better. But, whoever does your site does good work.

Of course I purchase from CC first and what they don't have I buy from you icon_wink.gif



I understand that and thank you for taking the time to point out our store is clean and neat. We are in a mad rush to try to put more things on our site but the cake season upon us so we don't have much time for data input right now.

I need to go back to bed and start the day over icon_razz.gif

I was right the first time you are the store. I thought I made a mistake but I didn't.

I bet I'm confusing icon_confused.gif

Saline MI - that's the one. Highly recommended. thumbs_up.gif

I ordered a full set of round and sqaure dummies last night. They also had sheet cake dummies. My DH was really good about ordering them. icon_biggrin.gif

While I was sitting at the computer looking at them, my DD asks me, "Momma, Whatcha looking at?" So I tell her that I am looking at cake dummies. She looks at me with a shocked look on her face and says, "Momma, it's not nice to call people names!!" icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif I just busted up laughing and had to leave the room!! icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

www.dallas-foam.com offers dummies with holes, rounded edges and tapered sides. The rounded edges will stop the fondant from tearing on the edges and I guess the holes are to run a dowel through to hold them together(that's all I can figure) so are the tapered sides just a decorative effect or do the serve a purpose? Are there any pics to show a cake with tapered sides?

tapered for the whimsy cake look if their premade ones (round) are not what you want...that way can have nearly any style whimsy.
