Polystyrene dummy cake support, six diameters to choose from.
The FUNCAKES Round Cake Dummy, made from high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS), recreates the shape of a cake tier without using real sponge cake. Its 7 cm height is particularly suitable for low or transition tiers in a multi-tiered cake, as well as small practice supports. Not edible, it can be covered with fondant, icing, or ganache just like a real cake.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Why choose a height of 7 cm rather than a taller size?
The 7 cm size is suitable for low tiers or transition tiers between two taller tiers, as well as small display cakes. For a larger main tier, the 15 cm or 20 cm FUNCAKES versions are a better fit.
Can you stack several 7 cm Round Cake Dummies?
Yes, by inserting support rods between each tier to stabilize the structure. The low profile works well for tiered cakes with many small tiers.
How do you attach sugar paste to this support?
Lightly moisten the surface with a brush or apply a thin layer of edible glue. Roll out the sugar paste to 3 to 4 mm thick, place it on top, then smooth from top to bottom with a smoother.
