Dallas Foam is a good source for styrofoam cake dummies. Their prices come out cheaper than my local cake decorating store, even if I have to pay for shipping: http://www.dallas-foam.com/store/cakedummies.html

miriel is right .... and the more you buy at one time, the better the shipping.

on cake dummies, can you use and reuse them or are they for a one time only?

I order mine from Dallas Foam Co.

I checked around and they came out ahead for the best deal.

The one time I had to talk to them they were very friendly.

Thank-you everyone! So helpful, can anyone recommend what sizes to keep on hand for just practicing. I don't need them for contests or anything. I was think 6", 8, 10 in square and round? What ht. is best for wedding cakes, 4-5". so im not sure what ht. to purchase I perfer taller cakes, but 5 seems pretty tall, i suppose that's what you get after filling? Any suggestions? thank-you

Mine are the 4" tall and I have round and square (and some sheets) from 14" to 6". When doing a sampling, it's very nice having various sizes on display so I can point to one and tell a bride "This is the size your cake(s) will be." I have more 6, 8, 10's than anything.
