Does Anyone Use Styrofoam For Dummie Cakes?

No, I always use the store bought dummies for cake. They're the right size and I really don't consider them expensive at all. Did you check the pricing at www.**********.com online?
maybe the other one works, too, though.
Hi, There's a place in Georgia called Shape Formation Inc. that has really cheap prices on cake dummies. I haven't ordered from them yet, and I don't know who else has. But hopefully this will help. 
www-shapeformation-com
def. get them at www.**********.com ....they're very reasonable. For square cakes I've heard of some people taping boxes shut and covering them with shrink wrap and then using them as square dummies!
I recently read on another cake forum that many people have been VERY unhappy with the quality of the www.**********.com dummies lately, complaining of the sizing being off, flat spots, and large seams.
It seems there is a beloved foam dummy supplier with excellent customer service and prices. Lenny Lee ~

I agree Cakepro! I will only buy my dummies from Lenny. He does not have a website, but will quote prices over the phone and will make any size, shape of dummy that you want! I know of someone that had him do a round dummy with 6 alcoves carved out of the side of it. He also will custom cut foamboards (1/4 and 1/2 inch) for you too.
He also will not send out any dummy that has a flaw in it. He has told me that he has had to recut a dummy before because it came out less than acceptable. If you want to see Lenny in person, he was at the CT Cake Competition last year and I assume he will be there again this year (Feb 27 & 28, 2010).

Yeah, my last dummies were not the best from www.**********.com So have you guys ordered from him?
I have bought from www.**********.com for years and never had a problem. I recieved 2 sets of ovals, 2 sets of hexagons and 10 more rounds last week. They were fine. Marie J.
there is another post about this but my husband and I made our own out of the pink house insulation foam! I made a set of 6,8,10,12 round and 8,12,16 square and another 16 square! I also had extra and could make some more round cakes. One sheet is only 18 or 19 bucks! It took a little time and some tools but we made them (less than an hour) and they work great!! If you don't want to spend a ton of money try that!
I've order from www.**********.com for years and have never had a problem.
3 of mine had the edges smooshed. Maybe I just had a lucky order.
Damn! I was excited to see my total on my dummies, until it cost $40 just to ship them to CT from Dallas! GEEZ!!!!
yep thats where I get mine... they have better pricing than www.**********.com
Shape Formation has changed it's name to Shape Innovation. www.shapeinnovation.com
I've ordered from Taylor and www.**********.com sells on Ebay cheaper than on their site...just sayin'...) happy with them both. I will check out Shape Innovation now. Thanks for the link!
