How Do I Create A Stanley Cup Cake?
Decorating By KimiSomeSugar Updated 13 Jan 2013 , 10:19pm by KimiSomeSugar
Hi everyone,
I have a stanley cup cake to do this weekend and need help with stacking and cake dummies.
1. Is water the best way to stick fondant to the dummies?
2. I have to put 3- 10" x 3" dummies stacked together. What should I use to "glue" the 3 dummies together?
3. Will the 3 dummies support a stack cake on top of it. It will be an 8", 6" and a 4" cake?
4. I will make my fondant grey and they spray with Duff's silver spray. Is this a good idea?
PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have a stanley cup cake to do this weekend and need help with stacking and cake dummies.
1. Is water the best way to stick fondant to the dummies?
by water if you mean a mist --yes
i run my dummy under the faucet and sling it off
but sedately misting is also cool
your goal is moist not dripping wet
2. I have to put 3- 10" x 3" dummies stacked together. What should I use to "glue" the 3 dummies together?
i use hot glue
3. Will the 3 dummies support a stack cake on top of it. It will be an 8", 6" and a 4" cake?
yes
4. I will make my fondant grey and they spray with Duff's silver spray. Is this a good idea?
i have never used duff's so i can't vouch there
but silver spray--is it edible?
just watch out for that edible versus non-toxic factor
however you resolve that for your self
but yes in general that's a great way to go!
PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

i just happen to have a tall chalice cake i did
it was partly a freebie so it's not "super polished"
disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer
but i used one of those clear cake tubes that fit into plates
http://www.efavormart.com/acrylic-cake-stand-tubes.aspx
was very secure
and here's a photo
the whole chalice is foam because this crowd was used to sheet cakes only
i didn't want to push the envelope too much
they already had to deal with a layer cake (omg!)
bottom cake is 16"
the plateau is about 22'
can't remember how tall it is but it's pretty tall
edited to say--chalice covered with choco clay--cake is iced in smbc--
Thank you for your help and tips
As for the spray... it is edible!
I could leave the cake grey...but I've noticed in the past that when I add black colouring to white fondant- it turns purple!
