Round Cake Dummies
Our round cake dummies provide perfect foundations for wedding and celebration cakes. Available in diameters from 4" to 48" with depths ranging 1"-8", these precision-cut polystyrene bases maintain structural integrity even with complex tiering. Decorators benefit from consistent dimensions and smooth surfaces suitable for buttercream, fondant, and modelling chocolate applications. Each dummy undergoes quality verification before dispatch.
Custom Cut Service
We realize unique cake vision through precision polystyrene cutting. Customers receive tailored solutions for architectural designs, brand logos, or novelty shapes up to 1.2m width. Technical specifications from CAD files or hand-drawn sketches get translated into dimensional templates using CNC cutting technology. This service accommodates both single-item prototypes and production runs for commercial clients.
Wedding Cake Dummies
Our wedding-specific dummies enable creation of photogenic multi-tier displays without perishable components. Available shapes include traditional rounds, hexagons, and specialty designs like birdcages. Dummies maintain structural integrity for transportation and feature clean edges for professional finishing. Many customers combine real tiers with dummy sections to balance budget and visual impact.
Polystyrene Numbers
Precision-cut polystyrene numbers serve as structural cake toppers or standalone decorative elements. Available in heights from 4" to 24", these components integrate with standard dummies through compatible depth specifications. The closed-cell material prevents crumbling during assembly while accepting standard cake decoration techniques.
Huge Cake Dummies
We supply extra-large cake dummies up to 48" diameter for commercial displays. These structural elements maintain dimensional stability for event installations requiring visual impact without proportional cost increases. The high-density polystyrene allows safe transportation and repeated use across multiple venues while retaining carving resistance.
Questions
Can cake dummies be used for real cake displays?
While dummies themselves aren't edible, they serve as foundational supports beneath real cake tiers to create larger visual displays.
Do you offer international shipping?
Current logistics constraints limit deliveries to UK addresses including Northern Ireland but excluding Channel Islands.
How accurate are the dimensional specifications?
CNC cutting ensures tolerances within ±1mm through automated production verification checks on each batch.
Can I return unused cake dummies?
Custom-cut items aren't returnable but standard shapes may be returned within 14 days provided they remain unmarked.
What decorating techniques work best on these dummies?
They accept all standard cake finishing methods including fondant, buttercream, chocolate ganache, and edible printing techniques.
How are large orders packaged?
Orders exceeding 18" diameter ship in reinforced cardboard crates with internal polystyrene protection for dimensional stability.

Report
Excellent company. Ordered on Thursday, received on Friday. Complained that had received square cake spacers rather the round ones ordered. Customer Service politely and promptly replied that if I unpacked the items completely I would find the required circles nestling within the square packaging. I did and they were. Thank you!
