What do you put that cake on when you’re ready to decorate?

Two basic things a baker should have in his or her shelves (or cupboards, or baker’s rack, or whatever it is you use to store your baking supplies):

cake circles, or the tougher cake boards, and doilies.

Wilton Cake Circle 10, for 8″ cakes

More choices at TuffBoard, Pastry Items, a huge selection at Golda’s Kitchen, but I think nothing beats Sugarcraft when it comes to choices!! I count it one of our many blessings that we live just 10 minutes from them!

As for doilies, there’s a bunch at Amazon, or you can order from The Baker’s Kitchen, Country Kitchen Sweet Art, Candyland Crafts, glassine ones from My Paper Shop, but then again Sugarcraft takes the cake (no pun intended) for having the most supplies in one spot. I’m hoping Delores (the owner) will see this post and give me a commission, hee hee….

For all your wonderful cake creations:

Wilton Tilting Cake Turntable

…. on my wish list this coming baking year.

Right now I have this one

Wilton Revolving Cake Stand

which doubles as a turntable, but if I want to tilt the cake for some fancier work I can’t. (One way I’ve gotten around that is to lift the cake using the board and tilt it with my left hand while working with my right. Obviously not the best solution, and I can only do it with cakes that aren’t tall enough to slide off.) It *has* served me well for many years.

Other options are these two from Sugarcraft: one from PME and the other from JEM.

If you’re not in the US, here are some other sources for cake turntables:
