How To Get a Perfectly Straight Cake Using Acrylic Discs - Topless Baker

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2019
  • For YEARS I have wondered how people get their cakes so perfectly straight until I discovered acrylic discs. This little tool is an absolute cake game changer and makes any wonky cake perfectly straight! Acrylic discs allow you to get your bench scraper completely vertical which means that you get a perfectly smooth, straight cake every time.
    A few little guides if you are going to buy your own acrylic discs:
    I buy my acrylic discs so that they are .5" larger than my cake. So for a 7" cake, I use a 7.5" acrylic disc. This gives me /25" of frosting each side. If you want a little less then go for a 7.4" or 7.3".
    I got mine from a company called Simply Plastics but if you google 'Custom Acrylic Discs' there will be lots of plastic suppliers you can use!

    So not sure if anyone else noticed but ahhh the cakes edges are definitely not straight and are most certainly on an angle.... A set square would have been useful to make sure they are perfectly square from base to top. By the way I use acrylic discs and they do indeed save so much time when decorating!

      He also needed to adjust the cake layers then support the cake with dowels or boba straws if the cake layer weren't strong enough the weight of each additional layer. .

    • @Hervinbalfour
      @Hervinbalfour 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No you don't. You get a small pallet knife or razor knife and run it along the bottom in between the disc and cardboard layer and simply lift the cake off.

    To simplify scraping the sides without catching on your nonslip pad, trim the nonslip pad 1/2-1” smaller than your acrylic disk. You will then be sliding the scraper on your smooth turntable.

    The cake was still wonky at the end. I’ve had the discs for about six years. I got them at the same time as my cake decorating friends in order to ganache cakes quickly using the Faye Cahill method.
