Cake Dummies
Order cake dummies from Baktotaal
A cake dummy is used for creating so-called display cakes. These cakes are placed in the shop window or used during a trade fair or other presentation. Because the inside of the cake consists of a styrofoam cake dummy, you can keep such a cake looking good for a long time. You can also keep a styrofoam cake much longer. A dummy cake is also widely used in baking courses to learn cake decorating.
Endless practice with a dummy
With cake dummies, you can practice endlessly with decorating and garnishing cakes. Do you want to practice writing with liquid chocolate? Use a dummy and practice first to see if "congratulations" fits on the cake or if you need to make the letters a little smaller. If you write on a real cake and the text fails or doesn't fit, then you have a serious problem. With a dummy, it's a different story. If you cover the dummy form with plastic beforehand, you can remove it after each attempt and reuse it endlessly without it getting dirty. You can also use a dummy to practice covering the sides with, for example, marzipan. Only when you've mastered the trick do you apply it to a real cake.
Dummies in various shapes and sizes
To practice different techniques, you can buy a styrofoam cake in various sizes and shapes from Baktotaal. This way, you can practice endlessly applying different techniques to the styrofoam cake. If it goes well, you can try out what you've learned on a real cake.
Other cake dummies in various shapes
We're all familiar with round and square cake dummies. Nowadays, cake dummies are also available in other shapes. Consider, for example, a heart or flower. But also, other cake dummies in the shape of a hexagon, XL cupcake, or petit four are possible. Just like the round and square cake dummies and dummies in the shape of a flower or heart, the dummies in the shape of a hexagon are available in various sizes. Ranging from 15, 20, 25 to 30 centimeters, depending on your preferences. The XL cupcake cake dummy is only available in a single size. You'll receive a total of nine petit four dummies so you can practice well with the consistency of, for example, garnishing or piping. For all cake dummies, including the other cake dummies, take a look at our webshop.
The materials cake dummies are made of
All cake dummies that we offer in our webshop, including the other cake dummies, are made from very high-quality polystyrene. Polystyrene, also known as EPS, is commonly known as styrofoam. Styrofoam is characterized by being very lightweight and can last quite a long time with proper use. Because the styrofoam shapes are cut by computer, a constant quality can be ensured, and the sides really have a right angle. All our shapes are made with the utmost precision and care. You can see this reflected in the end product!
Cake dummies for practice
Cake dummies provide the ideal base for practicing various techniques from the baking world to perfection. Think, for example, of techniques such as covering, piping, garnishing, and decorating cakes but also petit fours. Because it can be quite difficult to consistently decorate petit fours, it's advisable to first practice on the other cake dummies in the shape of petit fours that we offer in our webshop. Because these shapes are all made of styrofoam, it's important for the preservation of the dummy to wrap it well in foil first. This prevents chocolate, cream, or juice from fresh fruit from seeping into the dummy. This way, you can practice on your newly purchased dummy for a long time.
Cake dummies for show cakes
Other cake dummies can be used not only for practicing techniques but also for making show cakes for baking competitions or the shop window. Because the dummies are made of styrofoam, you don't have to worry about premature spoilage. Of course, you still have to consider the perishability of the products with which you finish the dummy, but the dummy itself can last for years if used correctly. For example, by wrapping it in foil as explained above. And the beauty of our other cake dummies is: they will never lean. You always have a straight cake, petit four, or XL cupcake.
