Help Please! Polystyrene Hole Dummies
Baking By cakesbyliane Updated 12 Jan 2019 , 9:46pm by cakesbyliane
Please help! Do you think I can put 2 tiers of real cake on top of the polystyrene tier that has the whole in? Will it be too heavy or ok? Picture to show the polysterene tier with the hole I'm using. Thank you for your suggestions.
Cake dummies are super strong :) What you might do is put something heavy on top of the styro (perhaps a full can of shortening or 5# bag of flour or sugar??). I'd suggest standing on it but I don't think 2 cake tiers weigh as much as the average person LOL! UUMMM: just noticed your dummy w/the hole seems to have a crack in the middle of the bottom end of it. Was that where the knife/saw was entered to form the hole? That might be a problem. It really depends on what cake recipe you use as to how much those 2 cakes will weigh I mean are we talking fruit cake w/marzipan and fondant or regular cake (like a boxed mix) w/b'cream?
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I think I am going to make the tiers fake and have cutting cakes in the kitchen.
