Hello,
I make dummy cake with plaster with my pan, i put paper for no sticking but now it don't want get out of my pasn
I have a cake expo, in 2 weeks and don't know what can i make
Please help meeeeeee !!!
If you have a cake recipe who you are sure it stay good for 2 weeks please !!!! it's not for eating ! please doesn'e smell!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Have you tried using styrofoam for your cake dummies? From what I've heard alot of people use it for dummies and seem to be happy with it.
yes styro is the way to go. Very cheap and light as a feather. All my cakes for OSSAS were styro except sculpted.
Hello,
We don't have styrfoam like yours in my country and it's too late to order now!!!
I really don't know what can i make
make rice krispie squares and mold them in the pan...then let them harden and ice like a cake
Doudoun, search for a recipe for fruit cake... it is meant to sit out for weeks, months, etc. After it cools, wrap it in saran wrap like you would a dummy, then decorate, then after the show you can pull off the saran and still eat the cake. (But not if you put the icing right on it... it wouldn't be good after sitting out for weeks!) Good luck!
Edited to add: OH! Good idea w/the rice crispie treats too!!
Thank you girl !
I want to find a cheaper recipe, because we don't eat the cake after!! so find a fuitcake recipe ! this one it's ok??
Basic Fruitcake
1/3 cup chopped dried cherries
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup currants
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons light rum
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons butter
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
¼ cup un-sulfured molasses
2/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped pecans
What can i don't put to make it cheaper??? because after i good to the basket???
Thanks again girls !
Unfortunately fruit cake is VERY expensive to make... maybe the rice crispies would be a more cost effective option? Hope it works out for you!
And do you have tin for plaster??? what can i put on pan for doesn't stik??????
I don't have choice to make them in plaster!
I ahve minimum 20 cakes and i need to start them as soon as possible !
for rice i need a lot !!!! i work outside so the time is very short for me
Thank you very much !
Out of curiousity, what country do you live in? Maybe there is someone familar with where you are?
Can you line your pans with wax paper? Even if the paper sticks to the plaster it should keep the plaster from sticking to your pans. You can always put the frosting over the paper if you can't get it to come off your plaster and no one will ever know.
What country are you from?
oh, I have also seen some dummies made from some builders stuff, it is like expanding foam from a tube - don't know what it is called. It is used to stuff out the hole between a doorframe and the wall.
Hello,
I am from france
i put wax paper before i put my plaster and it stick !!
I see on the web that i can put "savon" sorry i don't know the name in english (for washing hand)

I Approximative i have to make 20 -30 cakes so i need to start today ! for rice i need a lottttttttt a packet, sugar i am affraid it break ! so i have to find a easy cake who doesn't smell for 14 days or plaster !!!!!
Today i try and try again with plaster ! i need to find something i can make in advance
Thanks a lot girls for your help

I would think if you greased the pans first with LOTS of Crisco (solid vegetable grease) and then used the wax paper over it they would be less likely to stick. I suppose you could use butter as an alternative...or lard...or silicone spray. Anything to coat the pan well before putting in the wax paper. Try putting 2 layers of wax paper also. Good luck!!
Savon is soap, by the way.
Have you thought of a basic genoise? It shouldn't smell or anything after 2 weeks. It would not be edible, but it should still hold its shape.
Don't have any other suggestions....wish I did.
Hope that helps

Many years ago I took a sculpture class where we made several plaster sculptures. Here, interestingly enough, we call it "plaster of Paris". It has been 30 years ago, but if I remember correctly you are totally right with the liquid dish soap. Slather it on. I also have made plaster bats to work with ceramic clay on and never had a problem with it sticking. Are you letting it dry completely before you try to take it out? Good luck.
See if this website has anything to offer for you. It's alternatives for using cake dummies.
Hope this help. Good Luck.

Hi, sorry to hear about your dilema but I did some searching and found this link if you are going to work with plaster and it did say to use soap. Good luck and what a cool idea using plaster for a dummy.
