How to Use Acrylic Cake Disks

[@OmmieFerguson]

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.

I really appreciate the fact that you showed your learning process. Very helpful.

[@sharlina63]

I put a little bit of Crisco on the board and then the parchment that keeps it stuck on there and very easy to takeoff

[@mixedlove1234]

Thank you for the tip

[@Glaucidium810]

You have a wonderful, calm way of explaining the process. Your results are amazing!!!

[@koenhouse]

Remove the board first when the frosting is soft, then chill the cake before you remove the parchment paper

[@sharlina63]

Actually you’re supposed to put it back in the fridge raider and let it firm up and then take the top parts off that’s what keeps the crisp lines

[@ACakeStory]

I really appreciate the real time experience. Thanks!

[@bibshot1989]

What kind of frosting was this? Blackberry? I'd love to learn how to make it.

[@CCoburn3]

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.

[@jimhall1742]

I have been using acrylic cake boards for a while now ......i never have used icing to apply parchment paper to the acrylic boards i use Crisco

[@realpinkmonkey]

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

[@bedfried_toaster]

realpinkmonkey Hi, what size disc’s to they go up to? Fantastic video

[@nagnag4684]

Kristy-lee Bennett did u end up buying this? I am in Singapore & the delivery cost seem so steep!

[@bedfried_toaster]

Nag Nag no I didn’t

[@Heluvbunny]

for everyone wondering what the icing is its blueberry my mom made it for my brothers birthday cake before

[@judyfleming6269]

It seems like freezing or at least refrigerating would make it easier to take off.

[@andrewroberts8217]

chill it first then take it off you can also tape the parchment on the disk

[@user-om3xx5qp3k]

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

[@Supertrooper_00]

You freeze your cakes after you crumb coat?

[@judyfleming6269]

If you put your cake into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, the parchment will not take off all that frosting.

[@nis4nikki1]

Can this technique be used when icing a cake with whipped cream?

[@honeysvw]

Great tutorial

[@서은정-x2i]

Is it available for whipped cream icing?

[@t.walker2917]

That icing is 👌🏽❤️

[@SweetToothCupcakes]

Great demonstration! 😊

[@rhi-ennendewey9417]

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

[@jalapenocheese7531]

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).

[@rhi-ennendewey9417]

Jalapeno Cheese awesome thank you so much

[@katybastow9737]

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!

[@CakebyCourtney]

I think you could use the disks but you'd want to get a smaller size. Mine are 8.25. For a semi naked, you don't need the extra .25 space.

[@CakeSafeLLC]

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.

[@dkgkck3]

Awesome
