Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Can this polystyrene support be eaten?
No. The Heart Cake Dummy is a non-edible display support. Cover it with sugar paste or wafer paper before displaying it; it must never be eaten.
What size should I choose for a wedding or family celebration?
Widths of 25 to 40 cm are suitable for main tiers, either on their own or combined with other sizes in a tiered cake. Widths of 10 to 20 cm are suitable for display cases or additional decorations.
How do you make sugar paste stick to the base?
Lightly moisten the surface of the polystyrene or apply a thin layer of syrup before placing the sugar paste, then smooth it with a spatula for a neat finish.
