Incredible design. Have you ever made a dummy that has 'fake' icing - if so what on earth would you use?

For dummy cake you use real icing and fondant, the only thing that is not real it is the inside. That usually is foam (Styrofoam). I make a lot of dummy cakes for the shop window, and they last at least 6 month, depending on how much sun the window gets. I know that some cake decorators mix acrylic craft paints instead of food color to last long because food color will fade.

No, just draw the leaves on the cake and use a damp brush to push the royal sugar.
This technique call "Brushed Embroidery".

Here is a setp-by-step:
