Cake dummies 7.5 cm high
There are 6 products.
Cake dummies 7.5 cm high sit exactly between the shallow and the classic tiers. These polystyrene dummies suit dainty, elegant tiers and display cakes that should not look too bulky – delicate wedding cakes, christening cakes or vintage-style celebration cakes, for example. They are also handy for practising fondant and piping techniques.
The range includes round dummies in Ø 10 cm (as a set of 5), 15, 20, 25 and 30 cm, plus a square dummy of 25 x 25 cm. The set of 5 in Ø 10 cm is ideal if you need several small dummies for practice, a class or a shop display.
Tips for dainty display cakes
- Real tier on a dummy: never place a real tier directly on the polystyrene. Always put a cake board in between and use dowels – that keeps everything stable and the food never touches the styrofoam.
- Balanced proportions: combine Ø 20, 25 and 30 cm, for example; thanks to the lower height, even a three-tier cake looks light and elegant.
- Round meets square: the 25 cm square dummy as the bottom tier with round tiers on top creates a modern contrast.
Frequently asked questions about 7.5 cm cake dummies
What is the set of five Ø 10 cm dummies for?
The five small dummies are perfect for cake decorating classes and workshops, as practice pieces for ruffles, flowers or lettering, and as mini tiers on a dessert table or in a shop window.
Does a 7.5 cm tier look too low next to real cakes?
No – as long as all the tiers of a cake are the same height, the difference is hardly noticeable. If you want to mix real and fake tiers, simply build the real tiers to the same height.
