Kootek Polypropylene Cake Decorating Stand Supplies

Decorating cakes is an enjoyable past time with delicious results. Not only can you create beautiful desserts with intricate designs, but you can also share them with family and friends to make your events even more special. If you’re just starting out decorating cakes, it can seem a little overwhelming, especially if you don’t have the right tools. In order to make the tasks easier and get better results, you’ll need the right gadgets for the job. One of the most important things you should have is a cake decorating stand.

Similar to a turntable or lazy Susan, a cake decorating stand swivels around so that you can turn it while you are icing the cake. This makes the frosting appear more evenly on the finished cake, providing a smooth and professional look. Plus, you don’t have to move the entire cake stand around as the top section easily rotates, making it less likely for the cake to fall off or for there to be any dents in the icing. Many cake decorating stands can also double as a cake serving stand, so you don’t need to transfer the cake onto another surface before serving.

• When looking for a cake decorating stand, opt for one that is sturdy and durable. Plastic cake decorating stands are perfect if you’re making small and lightweight cakes. However, if you’re planning on making large cakes that can get heavy, then you’ll need a cast iron or aluminum cake decorating stand. The plastic ones can slide away from you while decorating if the cake is too heavy.
• Look for a cake decorating stand that has a good height, ideally over 2.5 inches. If it is too low, you will need to bend over while decorating which can strain your back and neck. However, a turntable that is too tall may be at risk of toppling over, so opt for one that is medium height.
• To ensure that the cake decorating stand does not slip while in use, there needs to be non-slip grips or feet under the stand. This will keep it in place. A textured surface at the top of the stand helps to make sure the cake does not slide off while decorating.
• In terms of size, look for a cake decorating stand with a diameter of 12 inches. This is ideal for most baking projects. Some cake decorating stands also have diameter markings on them so you can place the cake directly in the center of the stand.
