I have a lot of leftover buttercream and no royal icing. Would I be able to put buttercream on my cake dummy and then take it off and reuse the dummy???

Also, do you find you have to thin your royal icing to get it to stay on the cake dummy and be smooth?

Thanks!!

i have some cake dummies, they look like a dence kind of styra foam, kinda lol i've put bc on them and fondant, i just scrape off the bc and wash them off, same with fondant, i'm not quite sure what you mean about the royal icing being smooth.

Thanks for the help! What I mean is...I've seen cake dummies where they used royal icing and let it dry b/c they were using the dummy as is forever. The icing looked bumpy and you could see the spatula strokes. Just wanted to make my royal icing look smooth.

If you ice a dummy with royal after it dries for several days you can use sandpaper to smooth iticon_smile.gif Get your icing as smooth as possible to begin with then sand it.
