I am curious as to how many of these posted cakes are for real, or just done on dummies for the sake of decorating.. I love to decorate, but hate to waste on dummy cakes!! What does everyone else do?
All of my photos are of cakes that were created for clients. I was featured in Cake Central Magazine. That cake was also a real cake (didn't have any dummies at the time).
Most of my photos are of real cakes. I've attempted to mention when it is a dummy. Many others also mention if their creation is a dummy.
If mine are for a competition or for a display , they are often dummies, As I am not carting heavy cake around to these events and it means I get to show them off more than once.
I don't really have anyone to eat cake if I want to make one just for decorating purposes and I am not going to waste money on ingredients .
I make real cake for paying clients , however you don't always get to do what you want to or try out new techniques. I have a mixture of both real cake and dummies in my gallery. I don't really think they look much different.
Out of all of the cakes in my albums 2 of them are partially fake. There are 2 wedding cakes that the bottom tier is a dummy (they wanted a specific look at a reduced cost). That is also mentioned in the pictures. Other than that. all real here.
I am purchasing a new store that has tons more display room so I will be making few dummies for that. But that is just to show off the up to date styles mostly.
My photos are real cakes, but I just decorated a dummy cake. I LOVE my dummy cake drum...I can wash it and re-use it. The "cake" I decorated yesterday was ugly, so I am glad I didn't bake one and waste ingredients. It will be nice to have cakes that I decorated as examples without using real ingredients.
Well, now I know why RI stringwork has become a lost art. After all that work, and looking so beautiful, it crumbles as soon as you touch it!! What a mess!!
