Are the cake dummies re-usable? I don't want to always bake cake, I just want something I can practice on. usaribbon.gif

sure are! I don't wrap mine in anything .... just buttercream that hardens really well. when I'm ready to change it, I just run a knife under the icing and it pops right off. Wipe with a damp rag to remove the 'crumbs' and they're ready to go!

thanks for the link. I"m curious though. When you decorate a cake dummie, you decorate the entire thing as is? It's not like you're decorating each layer on its own, then stacking them, right? The pictures show them already together. I've never done one of these, so bear with me!

yes, you decorate each one separate and assemble just like a regular cake. For whatever reason, my buttercream icing hardens up really hard on a dummy (maybe because I use water instead of milk in the mix?) so I can actually pick the decorated dummy up by the sides and assemble.

In my pics, the dummy cakes are "Blue Christmas" and "Autumn Pearls".
