Dummy Cake Fondant Question - How Long...?
Decorating By bonniebakes Updated 2 Jan 2010 , 9:23pm by bonniebakes
I'm looking for some advice/tips for a fondant covered dummy cake...
How long in advance should I make it and how should I store it so that it still looks "fresh," light, and wonderful? I know I can make it months/years ahead, but it's going to be for a competition display, so I want the fondant to still look new and soft and wonderful...
thanks in advance!

Yes, that's a good question, for a novice is a mystery how long will a display dummy cake look good and when does it turn looking like a mummified wedding cake ? 3mts? 6mts? Just one ?
I had BC covered dummies in my shop for multiple years. Had a fondant covered dummy for at least a year. They dont' shrivel up like mummies. They hold up fine.
They look fine for looooooong time. I have one that I've had for at least 4 years, and people still look at it and say how beautiful it is (meanwhile I'm thnking ewwww... But whatever you say)
I had fondant covered dummy cake for two years and it still looked good.I just got tired to see it every day.But if I would do a duumy cake for competition I would do it one month ahead.
I think as long as you keep it away from harsh/direct sunlight you should be good fora long while!
fondant stays soft?
Debi - I want it to LOOK soft and new, even if it isn't.
thanks, everyone!
Any tips for how I should store it so it doesn't crack or start to look old?
thanks!
Ummm... sorry for the silly question, but how exactly would you recommend covering it? plastic wrap? in a box? in a plastic storage box?
