    Thank you so much for this tutorial. You can see many videos teaching you how to cover with fondant a cake dummy but never how to take it off. Now, because of your video I feel confident to cover a dummy with fondant. Thank you!

    It is so much easier to clean that way! But I prefer to take fondant off prior to that - do not want to clog my dishwasher drain

    No, you cant. It will melt your styrofoam. You can just soak cake dummies in warm water and clean them that way.

    I always cringe when I see cake dummies as they are so bad for the environment - but this is an amazing way to reuse them without contributing to landfills!

    I can't stand that too! I use my cake dummies consistently and take old cake dummies from my cake friends to reuse for many-many years.
