Round Foam Cake Dummy
Round foam cake dummies are the standard shape for wedding displays, decorating practice, and cake photography — a lightweight, reusable stand-in for a real cake that holds fondant and buttercream just like the finished product. Every dummy is cut in-house from dense EPS foam to the exact diameter and height listed, with a smooth surface ready to decorate straight out of the box. Sizes run from 4" up to 22" in diameter, in 1" height increments from 1" to 10" — 162 size combinations in this shape alone.
Why our foam costs more than the cheap stuff
We cut from dense, fine-cell EPS with a closed surface — no visible beads, no pitting, no crumbling along the edges. Low-density foam is cheaper for a reason: the bead structure telegraphs through fondant, edges chip when you handle them, and the surface tears when you pull a dowel.

Buying more than one?
Quantity discounts apply automatically at checkout: 10 or more pieces 10% off, 25 or more 15% off, 50 or more 20% off. Mix any sizes and shapes you like — the count is total pieces. Bulk and wholesale details.
Not looking for round?
A round base with a hexagon or square tier on top reads as deliberate rather than plain. For softer, vintage-leaning cakes, our petal and scalloped shapes cost the same as the equivalent round size. And if the size or shape you need isn't listed, we cut to order — see custom shapes.
