I have never covered foam before and im having trouble sticking to the foam... so my question is, does anyone have any good tips on covering foam dummy cakes!!!
Thanks heaps 
I would like to know the same thing. I will be covering some this week. I heard a couple people say that they wrap their dummies in saran wrap first and then ice it. That way it's protecting the dummies for future use and they say it helps spread the icing. But I am wondering how you put the saran wrap on without any wrinkles too. I am anxious to hear any tips. thanks
Bump...I have to make a display cake soon.
I have a friend that use to own a cake shop but now he just owns a party store. He ordered mine for me and told me "I do not have to use saranwrap just coat them with piping gel" He said try to use ck piping gel not wilton because the wilton brand doesn't give you much play it is to sticky. I tried it and it worked great. After about a week to remove the fondant and the piping gel, I just soaked it in a sink of warm water and it was as good as new.
Well, i gave it a go with apricot jam, and it worked really well. I just done it the same if it was cake not foam!!
Thanks for all the ideas 
awesome, lots of great ideas. Thank you so much you guys!
What if you want to ice the dummies with buttercream? what do you use under the buttercream, if anything? Will the buttercream harm the dummies if it is left on for a couple weeks?
I use buttercream directly on the dummies ... .no saran, no gel, no water. It crusts up very hard. When I am ready to change the design (like, 10 months later!), I just run a knife under the bc and it pops right off. If your icing is not sticking, it sounds like it might be too thick? Might need thinning?
Some styrofoam display cakes in my pics are the "M&M" cake, the "Autumn Pearls" cake, the "Fuschia Fantasy" cake, the "Basketweave with Ribbon" cake.
