AI am newbie. I have to make a two tier cake. It need to feed 12 people. So I decided to use cake dummy. However, I could only find a 8x3" cake dummy. So now I am confused if I should bake a 10x3" cake and put the cake dummy top of it or should I buy a 6x3 pan. Can I put cake dummy on top of real cake?
When is the cake due? You can buy dummies online and have them shipped. I wouldn't put a dummy on top of a cake. I would also charge the customer for the cake dummy and the ingredients you still have to use to decorate it!
I buy my dummies from here.

Yes, you can put a dummy on top of a real cake.
According to the Wilton Party serving chart, a 10"x3" cake would serve 21 [3/4x28=21] and a 6"x3" would only serve 9 [3/4x12].
If you're OK with 21 party servings, then an 8"x3" dummy would be fine on top of that. You just put supports in the the real cake to hold the dummy. Put a circle of wax paper on the bottom of the dummy using royal icing or buttercream before placing it on the supports.
AI actually don't have time to order one. Also, cake is for my only niece so I will not charge for the cake.
AThat's what my sister suggested. She said "we can always lift the top tier off" I guess I'm putting dummy on top of real cake and taking it off during cake cutting time. Thanks guys
