if you use water or cover your dummy with plastic wrap them add buttercream, you can reuse your dummy.
just a silly question... if you want to reuse the dummy are you asking the customer to return it???? I just made one with a dummy top and was wondering what the customer would do with it afterward, I'd hate to see it just be thrown in the garbage but didn't wanna ask for it back 
The cake if for my daughters baby shower and the top tier will be a dummy cake. Well I tried to put just fondant on it and ofcourse it started to rip apart at the top/side. Do I need to cut top/side(where the boarder goes) to make it more rounded?
Thanks
Yes you definitely need to soften the top sharp edge of a dummy. I use a serrated knife and very carefully carve off the top edge.
To Ladybug - I read on here somewhere that you can get hard fondant off a dummy by sticking it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it. Haven't tried that myself but thought I'd pass it along.
