Cake dummies 15 & 20 cm high
There are 9 products.
High cakes are on trend: tall cakes and double barrel cakes look modern and impressive. That is what the cake dummies 15 and 20 cm high made of polystyrene are for. They suit display cakes that should stand out and impressive wedding cakes where only some of the tiers are real. The tall, slim surface leaves plenty of room for fondant decorations, flowers or a drip.
At 15 cm high there are round dummies in Ø 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 cm; at 20 cm high, round dummies in Ø 20, 25, 30 and 35 cm. Keep in mind that tall dummies need more fondant for covering, so plan generously with products from the Fondant and gum paste category.
Tips for covering tall dummies
- A steady hand: tall tiers need patience when covering. Work on a turntable if you can and only moisten the dummy thinly.
- Sharp edges: for a modern look with sharp edges, cover the side with a strip of fondant first and then add the top.
- Safe transport: glue tall dummies onto a cake board before covering – that way you can move them safely afterwards.
Frequently asked questions about tall cake dummies
What is the difference between a tall cake and a double barrel cake?
A tall cake is a single, particularly high tier. In a double barrel cake one tier looks about twice as tall as usual – with a 20 cm high dummy you get this effect in one piece.
How large does the rolled fondant need to be for a tall dummy?
Take the diameter plus twice the height: for Ø 20 cm and 20 cm high, the rolled-out fondant needs to measure about 60 cm. A little extra never hurts.
You will find the classic tier height in the Cake dummies 10 cm high category, flatter dummies in the Cake dummies 7.5 cm high category and the full range under Polystyrene cake dummies.
