A strong cake decorating portfolio needs range and consistency — and foam dummies make it possible to build both without the cost of baking dozens of real cakes.
Why Dummies Work Well for Portfolios
Since dummies never spoil, a piece can be photographed, adjusted, and rephotographed as many times as needed to get the perfect shot, without any time pressure from ingredient spoilage.
Building Range Into Your Portfolio
Cover a variety of shapes, sizes, and techniques — round, square, heart, multi-tier towers — to demonstrate versatility to potential clients or employers.
Reusing Dummies Across Portfolio Pieces
The same dummy can be redecorated in an entirely different style for a new portfolio piece, letting you expand your body of work without buying new pieces for every project.
