( sorry for my english, i’m french canadian) Can you give me some advise please!!!!!Thank you!!!!!!!!
Hi Lindaorso
You could still cover the angel cake cone dummy with fondant in exactly the same way as the other dummy cakes.
Royal icing would be fine too. Fondant and royal icing covering lasts for years if stored out of direct sunlight and kept clean by dusting it ocassionally. Ganache covering can be used but will not last as long since it is made from dairy.
You can see Paul covering dummy cake, column and roof in the carousel tutorial

Please correct me if I have misunderstood your question. 🙂
