    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.

    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.

    • @CakesbyLynz
      @CakesbyLynz  4 роки тому +1

      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 you use this technique when it come to learning how to crumb coat and then butter cream frosting?

    • @CakesbyLynz
      @CakesbyLynz  4 роки тому +1

      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.

    • @CakesbyLynz
      @CakesbyLynz  2 роки тому

      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.

  • @sady1139

    • @CakesbyLynz
      @CakesbyLynz  3 роки тому +1

      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.
