Hi everyone,

I have a stanley cup cake to do this weekend and need help with stacking and cake dummies.

1. Is water the best way to stick fondant to the dummies?

2. I have to put 3- 10" x 3" dummies stacked together. What should I use to "glue" the 3 dummies together?

3. Will the 3 dummies support a stack cake on top of it. It will be an 8", 6" and a 4" cake?

4. I will make my fondant grey and they spray with Duff's silver spray. Is this a good idea?

PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

i just happen to have a tall chalice cake i did

it was partly a freebie so it's not "super polished"

 disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer

but i used one of those clear cake tubes that fit into plates

http://www.efavormart.com/acrylic-cake-stand-tubes.aspx

was very secure

and here's a photo

the whole chalice is foam because this crowd was used to sheet cakes only

i didn't want to push the envelope too much

they already had to deal with a layer cake (omg!)

bottom cake is 16"

the plateau is about 22'

can't remember how tall it is but it's pretty tall

edited to say--chalice covered with choco clay--cake is iced in smbc--

Thank you for your help and tips

As for the spray... it is edible!

I could leave the cake grey...but I've noticed in the past that when I add black colouring to white fondant- it turns purple!
