To prep a dummy, smooth the upper edge so that it doesn't cause tearing of the fondant. You can do this with sandpaper, an iron, a rolling pin, an emery board. Clean off any styro dust left behind and then spritz it with water and apply the fondant. To get the fondant off, you can soak the whole dummy in a bin of water or you can spray it with water while sitting in the bin and peel it off as it softens.

What is an Oasis?
Thank you.

No BC.
Oasis is the very fine, soft crumbly floral foam that is in vases with cut flowers. It's designed to hold lots of water so the flowers stay hydrated.

Thanks. I had no idea that's what that stuff was called.
