yup. I just bought some from them and it came last week. They look great....and compared to the prices at other sites.....Dallas was the cheapest by far.

I got a 6, 8, 10, and 12 round and a
8, 10, 12, and 14 square all for 11.63. The shipping was 11 dollars, so altogether it was about 20 bucks.

Other sites were selling dummies at 3.25 and up PER DUMMY!

Definitely Dallas.

Taylor Foam is another one. Their prices are as good as Dallas Foam but compare the shipping prices between the 2 prior to purchasing.

Do you wrap the cake dummies in clear wrap before using them?

I purchased two sets from Taylor Foams and they were not quality dummys, mis shaped and poorly cut.

I haven't ordered from Dallas Foam yet, but I understand if you want to add a pillow cake dummy to the order, to order online what you want and call them and they will add the pillow cake to your order.

no- it might make the icing droop if it gets loose. if you want to reuse them, you can soak them in a sink full of hot soapy water and the icings will melt off. (go ahead and peel off any fondant first if its easy enough.)
