Seriously, I just attempted to ice a dummy and it was a total disaster! How can I ice this thing when it won't stay put??? I already want to chuck the thing out the door! I want to cover it in fondant. Please help!!!
Ok go ahead and laugh but the last cake I did I hot glued the dummy wrapped in press in seal "important step cause hot glue mets styrofaom" to the cake board then dabbed a little hot glue to the bottom of the cake board and to the turntable it worked for me
I've gotten a few tips on here that have worked well.
Some are to yes, rub with Crisco. Also to give the dummy a work over with your hands or a rolling pin to smooth ridges, bumps and super sharp edges. I also found that rolling my fondant a wee bit thicker helped too since the bumps were giving my fondant finish an unsavory textured look. 
Some people also swear by piping gel instead of Crisco but I haven't tried that. HTH and good luck!
I just rinse the styrofoam in water, give it a shake and cover with fondant. It sticks for me..(assuming it's a foam dummy you are using)
Thanks to all of you for your help!!! I too was about to shoot myself!!!
I once rubbed crisco on it and then rubbed cs over that and it took some of the roughness away....then I hold the 6 incher in my hand(the dummy that is) and put the fondant on it that way lol....didnt say it was a good idea.
oh wow I just had a brain storm.....for the 6 inch one...well any of them really........put a thin dowel thru the bottom of foam noard right into the bottom of the dummy........would that not stay put to work on it and then pull the dowel out and wala!
What I done was to put a dab of watered down fondant on the board and place the dummy on top. You can also do this with royal icing. When set hard, dummy shouldn't move.

You had me laughing so hard, I actually snorted!
