In the world of florists and floral designers, innovation is the key to creating spectacular, sustainable, and efficient floral displays. With this in mind, Agra-Wool International proudly introduces the cherry on top: Sideau® Cake Dummy. This new product not only simplifies and enhances the way we present and support flowers but also raises our awareness about environmentally friendly solutions.
Introducing Sideau® Cake Dummy: The Future of Floral Arrangements
While the well-known Sideau® blocks have long been celebrated for their natural strength, versatility, and numerous uses, Sideau® Cake Dummy adds a new dimension. True to the spirit of innovation: simple, thoughtful, and inspiring.
The circular shape opens the door to a wide array of creative applications and provides a perfect foundation for all possibilities, such as:
- Emphasize organic lines and natural forms.
- Create a stable base for circular wreaths
- Design organically shaped floral arrangements

The round shapes are available in four different sizes:
- 10 x 6.4 cm
- 20 x 6.4 cm
- 29.5 x 6.4 cm
- 35 x 6.4 cm

This choice allows you to create both detailed, delicate arrangements and bold, large-scale designs with ease. Ideal for upcoming wedding arrangements, such as table pieces and centerpieces. With this 'cake', the eyes will easily be glued to your masterpiece - and sorry, no sorry - the wedding cake will fade into the background.

Practical and Fast to Use
What makes this new round form so exceptional is its ease of use. Like its square counterpart, the Sideau® blocks, the Sideau® Cake Dummy operates on water absorption. A quick one-second dip in water ensures the product is bubble-free and rapidly saturated. Prefer pouring water over it? No problem: with 1.5 liters of water per piece, it quickly and readily absorbs moisture. This saves valuable time and prevents frustration caused by air bubbles, all while providing a solid, water-absorbing base.
Remember, the smaller the shape, the faster it absorbs water and the less water it requires.
Flexible and Reuse-Ready
Another major advantage of Sideau® Cake Dummy is its reusability. By simply flipping the product or wrapping it with chicken wire, it retains its powerful absorption properties. There's no need to discard it after use; leftovers can easily be repurposed for smaller projects or micro-gardening. An environmentally friendly alternative that encourages creativity rather than limiting it.

Natural and Eco-Conscious
Like all Agra-Wool products, Sideau® Cake Dummy is designed with sustainability in mind. It consists of 97% basalt, a natural volcanic stone, bonded with a plant-based binder derived from sucrose (natural sugar). This means Sideau® is entirely natural and can be composted after use. The minerals in basalt enrich the soil, promoting healthy plant growth. Additionally, Sideau® is pH-neutral and free from harmful chemicals, making it suitable for use in natural cemeteries and recognized as a sustainable solution in many countries.

An Inspiring Product for Floral Artists
For florists seeking to combine aesthetics with environmental responsibility, this new product offers unparalleled freedom. Its circular shape enables the creation of organic and flowing designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional forms. The material’s structure provides a natural appearance and a firm grip for flowers, transforming each arrangement into a masterpiece. Moreover, the versatility of Sideau® Cake Dummy encourages thinking outside the box and exploring new shapes and structures.

Together for a Greener Future
With the Sideau® Cake Dummy, Agra-Wool takes a significant step toward a more sustainable florist industry. The product aligns perfectly with modern trends of eco-conscious design, offering floral artists the opportunity to showcase their creativity while minimizing their ecological footprint. Every floral arrangement made with Sideau® contributes to a cleaner planet, without sacrificing beauty or functionality.
