How to Lift & Transfer a Cake to a Stand

I literally just watched all these videos because I told my best friend I'd "buy" her birthday cake for her. little does she know, I'm making it (and very excited to) :)

[@SugarandSparrow]

So fun!! I'm excited for you to make a special birthday cake for your friend and hope these videos are helpful!

[@idc9087]

I’m like a year late to this, but that is so sweet! I might borrow your idea and make a cake for my friend since I missed her birthday party

[@shubashamim7039]

How did it turn out?! Curious to know I’m doing this for a small engagement!

[@KameKazuFace]

I wish I’d watched this before transferring my cake to a plate the other day, it was a harrowing moment but thankfully it worked out. Next time I’ll follow your tips. :)

[@SugarandSparrow]

How do you lift cakes that have piping on the bottom, like your knitted buttercream cake, for example? It seems like the spatula would disturb the pattern on the bottom row?

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi there! I use the same method for cakes with piping on the bottom. I'll typically keep a little extra frosting just in case I need to touch up/re-pipe some areas but since the frosting is so set from the refrigerator I rarely have to do so.

[@marielarredondo8093]

Is there anything on the bottom of the cake while it’s resting on the turntable? Do you have links to buy this exact turn table?

[@furioushasan6084]

Amazing,thanks for sharing & I wanna know that which nozzle did you use??

[@SugarandSparrow]

Hi there! For the piping on top of the purple cake I used Wilton Tip 4B: amzn.to/33RqICn

[@arupriyanka2137]

Helpful video... Can i chocolate drip on a fresh cream cake ?? Thanks.

[@SugarandSparrow]

Yay! By "fresh cream cake" do you mean a cake frosted with whipped cream? If so, then yes it should work just fine.

[@arupriyanka2137]

Thank you .

[@melitofamily1534]

Held my breath the whole time - lol!

[@notachef3275]

Is there a specific reason why you didn’t put that cake on a bigger cake board ?

[@SugarandSparrow]

I like the seamless look when putting it on a cake stand for my cake photography, but putting the cake on a larger cake board does make it much easier to transfer!

[@shxn1830]

how many inches in diameter is this cake?

[@SugarandSparrow]

This is a 6 inch cake

[@shxn1830]
