Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Why is this size so low?
At 5 cm high, this is the lowest profile in the FUNCAKES range: use it as a transition tier between two taller tiers, or as a wide, flat base for a candy cake.
Is the extra-large 40 cm diameter stable enough for a display base?
Yes, its low height combined with its large diameter gives it a stable base. Place it on a sturdy cake board to distribute the weight of the decorations added.
How do I cover this dummy with sugar paste?
Lightly moisten the surface with a brush or edible glue, roll out the sugar paste to 3 to 4 mm, apply it, then smooth it with cake smoothers as you would on a real cake.
