Dummy cake - Polystyrene supports

Make a fake polystyrene cake with a dummy

Creating dummy cakes using cake dummies is sometimes necessary for pastry chefs.

When you want to make a purely decorative sugar paste cake, you can use a polystyrene support. This saves you time by avoiding making a real cake that won't be eaten. The dummy is much more practical for making a sophisticated decoration that requires great technique. It also allows you to use coloring and non-edible decorations without worry. You can also use polystyrene, for example a ball to make sugar paste models.

Polystyrene support for assembled piece

The polystyrene support is particularly used to make false layers in your wedding cakes and wedding cakes. Since the layered cake is fragile, the dummy helps strengthen its structure and make it more stable. We often put the dummy at the base of the piece mounted on the board and below the real cakes with smaller diameters. To hold the dummies and cakes, we recommend using dowels.

Polystyrene base and display

The dummy also has a presentation function for a candy cake or an aperitif buffet.

The dummy as a candy cake support:

If you want to make a candy bar or sweet buffet for a party, you can provide yourself with polystyrene supports. They present your treats in different ways. With dummies, you can make a cake by sticking the candies onto polystyrene toothpicks. This is the easiest, quickest and most practical method to make a candy cake. You can also make a pyramid of macaroons or choux buns with a polystyrene cone.

Polystyrene for aperitif display:

The dummy is not exclusively intended for sweets. It can also be of great help to you in the composition of your savory buffet. For example, you can make an appetizer hedgehog on a half-sphere dummy or form a staircase with a rectangular polystyrene base for the presentation of glasses.
