How To Use CakeSafe's Acrylic Disks for Smooth Buttercream or Ganache 

If you’re doubt about this product, don’t be! Very few products live up to the hype but this absolutely does. It will take your cake game to the next level. Just a note, I see Juli removes the disks while the buttercream is room temperature but for my fidgety hands I could never without messing up my sharp edges. I definitely have to chill it until it’s rock hard before I touch the top or bottom disk. Also you really want to line up the top and bottom disk accurately or else you will have beautiful sharp edges but your cake will look slanted like this / Lastly I like to add the top disk to the cake and secure with buttercream to the top edge of the cake, line it up with the bottom disk like Juli but I prefer to chill the cake at this point before I proceed with adding buttercream to the rest of the cake and smoothing. I find the top disk can move around when/if I press my scraper too hard around the cake. Chilling the top disk and making sure it’s secure to the cake first prevents this. Just my thoughts as I use these disks all the time and they make the job 10x easier.

I’ve got this in my shopping bag and will be ordering ASAP! This is brilliant!

WOW! Where have you been all my life? Acrylic Discs are a brilliant Idea and I love the acrylic scraper - time saving and the finish looks amazing! Great turtorial, very Informative, thank you for speeding up the process in the video. Can't Wait to order some for my cake tools! Great idea for Christmas gifts when the kids ask what Mom wants for her gift! Super affordable and such a cool tool - time saving for the standard cakes - not having to buy cake boards and cut them down and try to get them straight, and these are reusable! BRILLIANT PRODUCT THANKS FOR SHARING!

WOW... I love this method with the acrylic discs. Ive made cakes all my life and this will be something I invest in soon. great vid. thanks for the demo.

The best video I have ever seen on how to ice a cake.

I love these discs! I'm awful at getting the buttercream smooth and even but these help and they're so much faster

I’d love your buttercream recipe because this is the smoothest, creamiest buttercream without air bubbles that I’ve ever seen!

Perfection! I purchased two sets of these disks a few years ago but lacked the confidence to even try them out. After watching this video...I can do this too! Looks like I'll be baking a cake this week.🎂

I watched this video for the 1st time last night after I stumbled across it. I'd no sooner finished watching it and I'd order 2 sets. 1 round and 1 square set, my round set came today and needless to say I used them straight away and YES, I finally have a professionally done looking cake. Thankyou so very much for the tutorial, it's fab

Beginner baker here. Watched and really enjoyed your tutorial last night. Shopping on temu for the first time today and recognized they’ve used screenshots of this tutorial, as an advertisement photo for acrylic cake discs. Your kitchen caught my eye, and I realized it was you.

I love that technick

That's amazing

Thank u so so much

👍great thanks for the information

That was perfect

Thanks so showing, I was wondering how u would pick it up.

Love

The cake looks stunning! When you have finished the cake and removed it from the bottom acrylic, how do you then attach the cake (with the cake card) on to a cake board?

Perfection

Amei...😍😍😍

Thanks 😊

Thanks, I plan to cover the acrylic sheet in plastic wrap so it will be easier to lift off the cake and then smooth over the top

Ommmgggg awesome! And that buttercream looks amazing! Is there a recipe for the buttercream!??

Fantastic I’m going to buy myself some if these, do I use the same size disc as my cake ? Thanks for this great tutorial I feel inspired . X

perfect!!!thank u...amazing...now i can make my icing perfect.

Wish it wasn't so expensive to ship to Canada. For the Essential Kit after conversion and shipping. It tripled in price🙈 And that doesn't include duty yet. Btw, your buttercream looks so yummy. I can never get my Swiss meringue to look that good. I'm going try your recipe on your blog.

Ohh my god you’re buttercream looks perfect 👌 can I have the recipe please. Thanks 🙏

Thank you for your video I’m wanting to try this but have been nervous Do you put the cake in the cool room/fridge before you take the the disc and paper of? You icing looks totally beautiful and smooth. Thank in advance

Hi Julie that was a great tutorial. Do you think this method will work well with whip cream too.

Hi there, love this video! How would you attach it to a larger cake board when you have finished icing it? Do you take off the existing cake board and place on top of the new cake board with some icing? Is it as easy as this? Thanks!

Just a quick question, love these BTW. Do you chill the cake before removing the top circle?

Wow!!! I love working with buttercream but rarely does it look that smooth. Love the tools. May I ask what kind of buttercream you use?

Have you cooled or froze the cake before removing the discs with your warm palette?

I've watched this video so many times, it's the best one I've seen on covering a cake, it looks perfect, I've bought the discs, do you have the recipe for your butter cream please, it looks so soft and silky.

I love mine!It has cut hours of work off. Would you consider a video on the rectangle ones?

If I was doing a 6” cake what size disk do I need and for the 8”’ and 10” you made it look so easy. Thanks

Love the tutorial. What buttercream do you use? It’s so smooth and white. My cakes don’t shrink much what size should I get? Thank you

Love it!. Do you have a video with the buttercream recipe?.

This is a dream! So when I use this on my cake is a dry crumb coat not necessary and I can just get to icing? Thanks so much!

Thank u for sharing

Love the video, quick question did you put the cake in the fridge before you took the top acrylic disk?

I've ordered these and am excited about trying them. Would allowing the cake to set up and chill with the discs on it before removing them be a good or a bad thing?

Thank you for sharing. I have one question, what buttercream did you use for icing? It seems so soft and smooth, and so easy to use, the Swiss meringue buttercream I made was bit hard and not as smooth which I don't know why.

Very perfect 👍👍👍💪💪👌👏👏

Hi, Great video. Was just wondering how thick the Acrylic disks are? And do you put your cakes in the fridge before removing the disks as my buttercream would stick to the disks. Thanks.

Very very top thanks yoi so much

Do you chill the cake before removing the acrylic disks?
