FUNCAKES - Cake Dummy
Round Cake Dummy - Height 10 cm
The classic cake design format, with six diameters to choose from.
The FUNCAKES Round Cake Dummy, 10 cm high, made of high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS), is the classic construction element for assembling wedding cakes, display stands and tiered cakes. The 10 cm height corresponds to the actual height of a cake filled with two to three layers of sponge, creating realistic proportions once covered. Available in six diameters, from 10 to 35 cm, individually sealed for clean use around food.

Frequently asked questions
Which diameter should I choose for my project?
Ø 10 cm for a wedding cake topper or a mini cake, Ø 15 to 20 cm for an intermediate tier serving 12 to 15 people, Ø 25 to 30 cm for the base of a majestic tiered cake, and Ø 35 cm for an extra-large creation.
Can faux dummies and real cake be combined in the same cake?
Yes, this is the most common technique among professionals: only the tier intended to be cut in front of guests is a real cake; the others are cake dummies covered identically.
How do I assemble several tiers securely?
Insert 4 to 6 support rods into the tier below, spaced in a circle and cut to the exact height of the dummy, place a cake board between each tier, then center the upper tier, adding a central rod through all tiers if needed.
