What are Cake Structures| Dummies?
Cake structures/dummies are styrofoam blocks that are cut into cake shapes (the most common ones are round and square, but other shapes are also available) in a variety of sizes and heights (again, the most common height that I have seen are 3 inches and 4 inches high)1. They are used to create realistic or fantasy cake designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with real cake.
Cake structures/dummies are fake, dummy, or display cakes. They are often used for:
- Practicing cake decorating skills without wasting real cake
- Creating cake displays for windows, exhibitions, competitions, or photo shoots
- Making large or complex cakes that need to be transported or displayed for a long time
- Saving money and time on baking and storing real cakes
- Adding height or volume to real cakes
Why use cake structures |dummies?
Cake Structures | Dummies have many advantages over real cakes. Some of them are:
- They are lightweight and easy to handle
- They are durable and can withstand heat, humidity, and pressure
- They can be reused or recycled
- They can be carved, sculpted, or glued together to create any shape or size
- They can be covered with any edible or non-edible material, such as fondant, buttercream, royal icing, chocolate, gum paste, modelling chocolate, etc.
- They can be decorated with edible or non-edible embellishments, such as flowers, figurines, ribbons, jewels, etc.

But how can you tell the difference between real and dummy cakes?
Well, some subtle clues can help you distinguish them :
- A real cake is usually heavier and softer than a dummy cake
- A real cake may have a slight aroma or flavour, while a dummy cake is odourless and tasteless
- A real cake may have some imperfections or cracks on the surface, while a dummy cake is usually smooth and flawless
- A real cake may have some moisture or condensation on the surface, while a dummy cake is generally dry and matte
However, these clues are not always reliable, as some dummy cakes like what we do in Studio Forever Bloom are made to look very realistic and mimic the characteristics of real cakes. Therefore, the best way to tell the difference between a real cake and a dummy cake is to ask us! We will happily explain which parts of your cake are genuine and which are dummies. We will also provide instructions on cutting and serving your cake without damaging the dummy parts.

How do you make cake structures/dummies?
Making cake structures/dummies is not tricky. It would be best if you had some essential tools and materials. We have provided you with the link to click to support your product hunt online shopping.
Steps to Follow if you want a cake replica to try DIY:
- Choose the shape and size of your cake structure/dummy. You can buy ready-made styrofoam blocks from online or local cake supply stores or cut your own from large sheets of Styrofoam using a sharp knife or a hot wire cutter.
- Prepare the surface of your cake structure/dummy. Using sandpaper or a file, it would be best if you smoothed out any rough edges or bumps on the Styrofoam block. You can also round off the corners or edges for a more natural look. You can also cover the Styrofoam block with plastic wrap or aluminium foil to prevent it from sticking to the covering material.
- Cover the cake structure/dummy with your chosen material. You can use any material that you would use for a real cake, such as fondant, buttercream, royal icing, chocolate, gum paste, modelling chocolate, etc. You can drape the material over the Styrofoam block or spread it using a spatula or a piping bag. It would be best to ensure the material is smooth and even on the surface of the Styrofoam block. You can trim off any excess material using a knife or scissors.
- Decorate the cake structure/dummy with your chosen embellishments. You can use any decorations that you would use for a real cake, such as flowers, figurines, ribbons, jewels, etc. You can attach them directly to the covering material using edible glue or water or use toothpicks, skewers, wires, or dowels to secure them to the styrofoam block. It would be best to ensure the embellishments are well-balanced and proportionate on the cake structure/dummy.
- Display the cake structure/dummy with pride! You can place your cake structure/dummy on a cake board or stand and add finishing touches such as borders, piping, or lettering. You can also add some lighting effects or props to enhance the appearance of your cake structure/dummy.
