There's actually an easier way to get this done. You can cover your acrylic disks with cling film, or with press'n seal completely on one side (the one that comes in contact with the cake) and leaving the other side a bit uncovered. Then you frost the cake and freeze it for a few minutes. After the frosting has set, you can now peel the film or press'n seal off the acrylic disk and remove it carefully. Then, peel the film off the cake. That way you don't have any chance to ruin the top frosting layer. Hope this helps!:)
Silicone Baking Mat with Measurements for Cake Turntable Stand Non-Stick Heat Resistant Pastry Baking Sheet Works even better and you can wash and resuse.
Which do you think would be better? The 8.5-inch circle or the 8.25 inch? Half an inch of frosting all round seems excessive, but perhaps there are decorative techniques that require that much icing.
When you say you freeze the cake after using the acrylic disk to add buttercream to the cake, do you just place it in the freezer or do you put in in a container or cling wrap? Thanks - Georgia
hi. thanks for this video1 can you please please do another one using the acrylic discs and then cut the cake so i can see how much frosting is on the edges/sides? i cant decide between the .5 and the .25. i feel sure that i would want the .25 because im sure that will give plenty of frosting, but i just dont want to make the purchase and wish i would have gotten the .5 size. thank you
Do you think these acrylic disks will be as helpful for doing a semi-naked cake? Or does this technique lend itself better for standard amounts of frosting? Thanks!
We sell .00" sizing disks for semi naked cakes :) So you'd buy a 6.00 inch disk set for a cake baked in a 6 inch cake pan. Our customers also love our Acrylic Icing Scrapers for naked cakes. They glide across the cake instead of tearing at it like metal icing scrapers do.
Great to see in real time how this goes...mistakes are great...that is what we learn from. its a great idea with the acrylics. what company is it from? on amazon?
Can you please tell me what you used before getting the acrylic cake disks? I can’t afford them right now and would love to know what you used before? Thank you
Rhi-Ennen Dewey she said cardboard rounds. So use two in lieu of the acrylic disks. You can wrap those cardboard rounds with Glad cling wrap (there’s a special one which is spill-proof).
That frosting looks yummy !!! I of course was here originally to see about the cake boards but what kind of frosting is that ? Do you have a recipe you share ? :)
