Okay what do you use to hold your cake dummy in place when icing it and covering it in fondant? They are so light that they just slide all over my counter and turntable. I've tried taping it with packing tape on the bottom....didn't work. I've seen where some use upside down screws from some sort of a turntable, but I have no idea how they rigged this. I have a Wilton turntable and don't know how I'd insert upside down screws into it. I'm getting ready to start making a ton of dummy cakes, but this whole process of covering and icing them is making me nuts!

Well, I don't ice if putting on fondant. I rub Crisco all over it, and flip the fondant right on. The weight of the fondant now at this point keeps it still enough.

for icing a buttercream dummy I put nails in a board then set that on my turntable--its somewhat problematic getting them off though--maybe straws in the dummy? For fondant cakes, no icing, just mist with water or use crisco, or thinned piping gel--whatever so the fondant sticks.

Great tips! Thank you so much!

there is an actual turntable to use when icing dummies.
