CAKESAFE – 2-6.5” Clear ¼” Acrylic Disks – Perfect Icing Tool to Smooth the Buttercream on Your Cakes

Description

Use the CakeSafe Acrylic Disks to achieve perfectly crisp edges on each tier. Each disk is also etched with a size marking and line around the edge to help you center your tier. This set of Disks contains two 6.5” Acrylic Disks. The .5” perimeter sizing is most commonly used by bakers who make all buttercream cakes and do not plan to cover their cakes with fondant. In order to determine which size Acrylic Disk is best for your cake, measure your finished cakes and the bottom of your cake pans before ordering. Our general rule of thumb when it comes to choosing the best size Acrylic Disk is: - .5" sizing: For cakes that shrink LESS than 1/8" (or not at all,) AND you are NOT planning to cover with fondant - .25" sizing: For cakes that shrink MORE than 1/8" OR your cakes do not shrink, but you are planning to cover with fondant - .00" sizing: For cakes that shrink MORE than 1/4" OR your cakes do not shrink and you are designing a “naked” cake The 3/8" center hole in all of our Acrylic Disks help bakers to center their cake tiers on the disks by using a temporary dowel as they ice. If you do not chill your cakes before icing with the disks, you will need to put a temporary dowel through the disks and cake to make sure your layers do not shift. The center holes do not affect the performance of the disks, should you choose not to use them. Handle Acrylic Disks with care and hand wash with mild soap.
