Attaching the two dummy cakes together with tooth picks works better rather than using the glue. Less messy and no need to wait, also if you want to reuse them its better.

How long in advance can you do a dummy cake
Hello, great channel I have learnt alot from you. I would like to ask you to give us a fondant and gum paste recipe and tutorial. I have difficulties with them. Thank you.
Hi , thank you for sharing this. I want to ask about fondant cake, how long you can keep decorated fondant cake in fridge? Thank you ❤️
Thanks for this video, I want to practice so this is perfect 👍
You are very welcome Aniela, I am so glad this will help you practice.
Love this, can I ask your advice as to how to stop fondant from tearing around top edge. I have tried using dummies but fondant always tears and its so annoying. I have tried smoothing the edges first but I have same problem. Thank you
I have the same problem!
I use a lil veg shortning in mine for that problem and cracking.
Amazing video 💜 You
Thank you for this!
Is a sponge ok to cover in fondant or is it too soft? A lot of opinions out there.
How long does this last without spoiling?
Can you use this technique when it come to learning how to crumb coat and then butter cream frosting?
Hi, yes from the point when I cover the dummy cake in fondant it would be the same technique you would use to cover a cake which is covered in buttercream. I have a more detailed video explaining the way I cover cakes in fondant, smoothing it onto the cake and getting sharp edges. I have put a link to this in the description below the video and a link at the end if this would also be of use to you.

Thank you for doing this tutorial. I used a dummy cake that had a heart cut threw the middle. I had no clue what I was doing, thank goodness it was only family that saw it. Lol😅. Now maybe next time, I can show one off.
Hi Karen, You are very welcome. I am just so glad it will be useful to you. Good luck covering your dummy cake next time. The ones with the cutouts can be a little tricky. If you ever have any questions just let me know.
Can I remove the fondant later on ?
Hi, can i also cover a styrofoam dummy with buttercream?

Hey the fontain which I have used in dummy can i reuse it ans how can reuse the dummy
Hi, Because fondant dries hard once it has been used on a dummy cake you wouldn't be able to use it again but you can definitely reuse the dummy cakes over and over again.
It is so good thanks for your help
I question with the glue you used around the foam does it work well if you have it outside or will the pink layer melt?
Polystyrene is not available in Bangladesh? Why?
Does the cake dry okay? Does it last a while without looking dull?
Learnt, I'm trimming my dummy right away, thanks 💕🇳🇬
Thank so much for your cakes it inspired me to make a cake shop 🎈🎀🎁🎊🎊
Hey Lynz where do you buy your dummy’s from? I can’t find any that are tall enough. 😭
Hi, I usually get my dummy cakes from The Cake Decorating Company as they have ones that are 5 inches tall.
Thank you very much lynz it's amazing technics
Very informative
This was very helpful. Thank you so much!
are you in california
Cute
This was very helpful, had no idea that the polystyrene could dissolve with certain glues. Was about to put hot glue gun on mine, that would've been a mess!
Hahahahaa
how can you store dummy cakes?

Hi Lynz! Thank you for sharing your skills, Lynz, I learnt something new about dummies!
Hi Clara, you are very welcome. I am so glad you learnt something new 😁 x
Thank you
Thank you thank you thank you for this video.
You are so welcome!
Can I use a dummy cake as base of the entire cake? I am worried of the stability of the whole cake… kind regards
Hello!!! The comment I was looking for 🤭. Sadly it wasn't answered. Did you do this? Did it work??
Thanks for sharing! Can I use the dummy again or is there no way of taking the fondant off?
Hi, Yes definitely. Once you are ready to strip the dummy cake off I usually really carefully try and push in a knife at the bottom and leaver the fondant off. You can then wash the dummy cake and leave it to dry.
You are the best 😍
