Product Features
This square polystyrene cake dummy (25 x 25 cm, 7.5 cm high) looks just like a real cake once covered. It is also known as a styrofoam cake dummy, fake cake, dummy cake or display cake. Made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), it is light, stable and can be decorated like a real cake with fondant, marzipan or buttercream.
At 7.5 cm high it creates slim, elegant tiers – slightly lower than a classic cake and ideal for delicate wedding cakes, christenings and vintage-style display cakes. Square dummies look modern and clean, especially with sharp fondant edges. They are great for gift-box and suitcase cakes, modern wedding cakes and corporate displays.
More heights and shapes are available in Polystyrene cake dummies.
What is a polystyrene cake dummy used for?
- Display cakes for shop windows, trade fairs, photo shoots or wedding fairs
- Bigger wedding cakes: only some tiers are real – fewer ingredients and no waste
- Practice: covering with fondant, sharp edges, piping and sugar flowers without time pressure
- Cake decorating classes and workshops where the cake has to stay beautiful for a long time
Tips for covering
- Lightly sand the edges or round them with a smoother so the fondant does not tear.
- Moisten the dummy thinly with water, vegetable shortening or piping gel so the fondant sticks well.
- Never place a real tier directly on the polystyrene: always use cake boards and, for heavy tiers, cake dowels as well.
Good to know
- Size: 25 x 25 cm, height 7.5 cm
- Material: polystyrene / styrofoam (expanded polystyrene, EPS)
- Not edible – only place food on it with a cake board or film in between
- Reusable: an undamaged dummy can be stripped and covered again
