When you decorate cake dummies, what do you use as far as icing and decorations? Do you use fondant, gumpaste, crusting buttercream? If so, do you spray a schalack over it? Or do you use something completely different.

I want to make my first dummy cake, but I want to keep the cake as a set up for displays and future centerpieces. But I don't want the cake to mold.

Any ideas, tips is appreciated.

I use the Wilton BC recipe but use ALL Crisco and no butter. I have BC dummy cakes from over a year ago and they look fine.
