Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What sizes of acrylic disks are included in the CAKESAFE Essential Cake Decorating Kit? A: The kit includes three sizes of acrylic disks: 6.25 inches, 8.25 inches, and 10.25 inches.
- Q: How can I determine the best acrylic disk size for my cake? A: To choose the best size, measure your finished cakes and the bottom of your cake pans. Use .5” sizing for cakes that shrink less than 1/8” without fondant, .25” for cakes that shrink more than 1/8” or those covered with fondant, and .00” for cakes that shrink more than 1/4”.
- Q: What is the purpose of the center hole in the acrylic disks? A: The 3/8" center hole helps bakers center their cake tiers on the disks using a temporary dowel, ensuring that layers do not shift while icing.
- Q: Are the acrylic disks reusable and how should I care for them? A: Yes, the acrylic disks are reusable. They should be hand-washed with mild soap and rinsed to remove any protective plastic before use.
- Q: What features make CAKESAFE disks different from other brands? A: CAKESAFE disks have their size and perimeter line engraved for precision and thickness control. They are also made of sturdy ¼” thick acrylic, unlike many brands that use thinner materials.
- Q: What additional tools are included in the kit? A: The kit includes two 8-inch icing scrapers with one straight edge and three cake comb patterns for creating detailed designs.
- Q: Can I use these disks for cakes that are not covered in fondant? A: Yes, the disks can be used for any type of cake, whether or not you plan to cover it with fondant.
- Q: How thick is the icing that the .25” acrylic disks accommodate? A: The .25” acrylic disks allow for approximately 1/8” of icing all around your baked cake, which is ideal for fondant-covered cakes.
