To successfully transfer a cake from a turntable to a cake stand, two essential factors are a solid foundation underneath the cake and a chilled cake. The cake should be stacked on a cake board covered in decorative foil and topped with a square of wax paper. To keep the serving plate crumb- and frosting-free, place strips of parchment or wax paper on the cake platter, set the cake on top of the strips, and decorate.
To move the cake from a turntable to a stand without ruining the buttercream, follow these steps:
- Prep the cake by preparing it, heating the spatula, and releasing the cake from the turntable.
- Use a cake lifter to lift the cake, freeze it, and use an icing spatula for added assistance.
- Place a sheet of baking paper on the turntable, leaving a few centimeters overhang to help lift the cake after decorating.
- If a turning table is needed, try the glass plate in your microwave along with the wheely ring at the bottom.
In summary, transferring a cake from a turntable to a cake stand requires a solid foundation, a chilled cake, and the right tools and techniques. By following these tips, you can ensure your cakes look better and make your cake stand a success.
