Hello everyone.

Can you cover a dummy cake in buttercream? And can anyone point me into the direction of a tutorial?

I have covered many dummy cakes in buttercream for weddings and displays for bridal shows. Just go yo YouTube and type in  dummy cakes covered in buttercream. I usually run a large nail or dowel rod thru the cake to hold it on the cake drum. You could also just use icing or melted chocolate to hold the dummy from moving around.

Lynne, those are gorgeous!  Your piping is breathtaking.  Oh, how I wish I had learned long ago.

They lasted at least a year - then they start to get funky.  The last pic w/the churabs was in Frances Kuyper's Cake mesuem - don't know how long before the museum closed but I'm guessing 2-3 yrs.
