Nobody mentioned this important stage!

Yup ! I just ruined my entire cake following this video . Fuming

Yep! makes it a heckuva lot easier.

i saw that technique in another video, and that person taped the paper over the board so there would be room to gently pull the paper off instead of digging in with the spatula.

CakeSafe.com is where I got mine!

For me it’s unnecessary, doesn’t make sense, the reason for using acrylics is to get sharp edges, so you don’t need to flip the cake for buttercream sharp edges, you “need” to flip the cake for fondant sharp edges, and I say “need” because there are many ways to get fondant sharp edges and flipping the cake is one of them

Cake it... Heat. Butter melts in hot climates.

Swiss will work great, but Italian meringue buttercream is going to be the most stable and least sweet sugargeekshow.com/recipe/italian-meringue-buttercream/ I haven’t tried Russian buttercream yet

@@SugarGeekShow thank u. But I must know what apparatus are u using in Italian meringue video??.... i love it😍

The discs measure 8.25” while the cake and cake boards are a true 8”. Hope this helps 🙂

You can. You can also cover discs in Glad Press n Seal as well!

My recipe I used for this cake can be found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h710mtmlrs65k6c.html

You need the cardboard underneath.

why do you need the cardboard? what's the purpose of the cardboard or what happens if you don't have cardboard?

The cardboard is the base support for the cake. It is absolutely necessary because the acrylic will be removed and then you will have nothing to support your cake afterward​.

Some people use the acrylic as their cake board so in that case you would not need the cardboard

Yes, absolutely chill before trying to remove your acrylics.

Deborah Camp If you would just rely on the acrylics and flip, the weight of the cake will strain your other hand and will want to rest the cake on the turntable immediately. This transfer can cause accident and flip the cake and fall on to the floor and destroy everything. Boards are for added precaution as you are increasing the surface area underneath to certainly catch the turntable's surface, to assist you as you rest the cake. It also serve as a turntable expander for cakes wider than the turntable.

Is that homemade Lemon Curd? Yum Yum... Recipe Please!

Where can you get the acrylic discs?

Sure you can, it just needs to be completely set and cold before taking the disc away

It looks like ABC but hard to tell....

Yes it is She linked a video in one of the replies

Where can i buy acrylics

same here

I used Liz Marek's vanilla cake recipe for this cake: artisancakecompany.com/recipe/scratch-vanilla-cake/

After putting the wax paper on she flips it so that it becomes flat and smooth on the bottom while frosting the rest of the cake. Then she flips it back over to reveal a “perfectly” smooth top that just needs touch ups.

I used to use the upside down method for frosting BEFORE I discovered the discs. It just helped get a flat top and edge. But with the discs it's an unnecessary step, in my opinion. I frost the top, then put the disc on and level, then fill in with frosting and scrape level the sides. Chill in freezer before removing the discs and paper. So much easier.

Flipping it the first time makes the top edge flat and the edges sharp :) Then you flip it back over to remove the parchment and reveal the top

@@SugarGeekShow If you are using acrylics you don't need to flip the cake, that's an unnecessary step
