To Create Separate Pieces of Cake
If you created any pieces of dolls house or miniature cake by cutting your top into sections, make sure you glue them to the same thickness of foam as the larger pieces then trim the foam for the pieces to square edges after the top has dried to the foam.
Paint the Cut Edges of Your Cake Pieces
Paint the sections that will be used as pieces (and the section of cake the piece was removed from) the color of the cake you wish to represent. Use acrylic paint diluted with water and allow the paint to soak into the florist’s foam. You want the cells of the foam to resemble the bubbles in baked cakes. Chocolate is the easiest color to match! Vanilla cakes need to be a pale yellow color, you can see from these photos that white isn't very realistic.
