i'm working on a 3 tier dummy cake right now.. first one i've ever attempted.. and i was wondering what i could use to hold them together... i don't want to have to dowel them. any suggestions?!?!
i thought of that ... did it end up ruining the dummy cakes??? i have to leave them at a competition for about a week...
does anyone think i can use piping gel in the middle of the layers..
I had to do this recently, and my sweet husband found a glue/adhesive especially for styrofoam at Hobby Lobby....sorry I don't remember the name of the product, but it did work well. HTH Not sure if you want to reuse them, this may not be the way to go?
I use regular BC and just put the iced tiers on top of each other. My icing, when put on styrofoam, hardens like concrete so they adhere just fine. I have tiered cakes that I've had for 1-2 years, they've made numerous trips to demos and bridal shows and they hold up just fine.
I can't think of any instance where you'd have to dowel a dummy. I never use tape, glue or anything special.
Just 'slap it together' and go. 
I use royal it dries fast and rock hard and if you want to re-use a soak in warm water melts it so there are no marks on the dummy.
