hey everyone... so i know how to cover a dummy cake in fondant no problem. what do you do for butercream cakes (like to get that whipped look). do u just use buttercream or something else that will not wipe off or get smudged?
I've done dozen of dummy cakes in b'cream
Just use it exactly as you would on a real cake.
I have made it all shortening w/NO flavoring - basically just Crisco, sugar and a bit of water for thinning it. there are some in my photos ... the 1st three pix on pg 2 are all b'cream dummy cakes and others.
The biggest problem w/getting them to stay still while applying and smoothing it. Put it on a piece of that non-skid rubber stuff. Doesn't have to be a very big piece - the same size as the cake board, just a sq about 3 ot 4" sq will be fine
so basically dont touch it like a real cake.... im using them for a bridal show and just didnt want them to get smudge in transport
also, can u clean them off and reuse the styrofoam dummies?
Yes you can clean them off and reuse them.
If you use a crusting buttercream, do it early, and it will crust over and will adventually get hard.
