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

  • Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
  • 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!

    • @Hervinbalfour
      @Hervinbalfour 3 года назад

      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.

  • @julielaughlin6183
    @julielaughlin6183 6 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @DrGarri
    @DrGarri 2 года назад

    Would you like some cake with your buttercream? If you divede this cake in 2 or 3 parts and frost them individually, then put them together once they are almost frozen, THEN you will need a minimal frosting to cover the sides. A Cake like this would gross most people out, it is like basically eating a butter bar with some sugar, disgusting.
