Hi,
I am wanting to cover some dummies for displays.
I have used fondant in the past, quick but kinda expensive.
I have tried Royal an thought I would pull my hair hout trying to smooth it!!
So..I thought about trying the plaster..may be wrong name...that you can cover dummies with. Any thoughts on your experience with using this or links to purchase it?
Any other ideas?
Thanks! Katie 
I use a light-weight wall spackle that I bought at Menards and apply it right over the styrofoam. It's super inexpensive and works great. The consistancy and application is very similar to buttercream. You can even pipe it by thinning it slightly with water.
No, I didn't sand it after. I used one of those small foam painter rollers (after I let it dry for about 10 minutes) to get it smooth. Worked out well.
Since they are so lightweight, it's kind of tough to get them to hold still while you decorate them. I used rolled packaging tape to hold them to my turntable, but that didn't work the best. I'd be curious what others use too. I was tempted to hot glue the sucker down, but restrained myself

Katie what did you use under your fondant when you covered cake dummie? I get my cake dummies today and will start making portfolio cakes next week, but just curious if you used something special under your fondant when you did your dummies. Please let me know. Thanks!
