Thank you so much for this tutorial. You can see many videos teaching you how to cover with fondant a cake dummy but never how to take it off. Now, because of your video I feel confident to cover a dummy with fondant. Thank you!

[@floreacakes]

Yey! Glad it was helpful!

[@victoria2944]

Never would have thought to put them in the dishwasher! Brilliant!

[@floreacakes]

It is so much easier to clean that way! But I prefer to take fondant off prior to that - do not want to clog my dishwasher drain

[@amandaw9284]

Brilliant. Thank you Anna!

[@lmw0214]

Why is the fondant is so hard n I don’t have a dishwasher

[@rashmiscookingstories6370]

Useful

[@floreacakes]

Thank you so much!

[@juliebillington281]

Very helpful thank you. What do you as a glue to attach fondant onto dummies?

[@floreacakes]

I use watered down piping gel. I find that crisco goes bad too fast and smells horribly.

[@juliebillington281]

@@floreacakes thank you very much. 😀

[@Yahsbsuq]

Hey - do you sell those white cake topper flowers?

[@floreacakes]

No, but I teach how to make them! Check out my Wafer Paper Academy: astashkinacakes.com/wafer-paper-academy

[@ibiyemifolashade]

Please how can I get dummies? What will they eat in the cake since it's made of dummy?

[@floreacakes]

I buy mine from Dallas Foam or Amazon

[@esijaeger7667]

😎 ❤

[@cassandrarudolph1307]

Can I use a oven if I don’t have a microwave

[@floreacakes]

No, you cant. It will melt your styrofoam. You can just soak cake dummies in warm water and clean them that way.

[@flywidfaraasha-tc2yv]

What if we dont have a dishwasher

[@floreacakes]

Just wash it in a sink...

[@vanessarayfox]

I always cringe when I see cake dummies as they are so bad for the environment - but this is an amazing way to reuse them without contributing to landfills!

[@floreacakes]

I can't stand that too! I use my cake dummies consistently and take old cake dummies from my cake friends to reuse for many-many years.
