Covering A Dummy Cake With Fondant!!
Decorating By Rachel8648 Updated 24 Apr 2008 , 10:34pm by sweetneice
I was just wondering if I have to put buttercream underneath, or if I can just put the fondant right on the styrofoam, or do I use royal icing? Help please!!!
I use thin layer of buttercream. It will not adhere without some type of icing. Never thought about using royal icing although it will probably work as well. You would just have to work quickly because it hardens so fast.
i rub the styrofoam with shortening and then place the fondant...then later on the fondant can be peeled off and you can re use the dummy =)

I just did this for my sheep cake. Be sure to sand the dummies so they're smooth - or the ridges will show through. You can see them through the fondant in mine if you look closely.
i wouldn't bother using shortening or BC. just spray the foam with water and the fondant will adhere perfectly.
Thanks for the insight on this subject. I really needed that for a couple of fondant covered dummies in august
