+ poolboy48220 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I was frosting a cake last night and thought about getting a cake turntable/carousel to make it easier. Does anyone here use one? Thoughts, is it helpful, or just another kitchen gimmick? They seem to range in price from about $11 to $70. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/ateco-612-12-revolving-cake-stand-with-cast-iron-base-and-aluminum-top-august-thomsen/144612.html KeepItReal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBiDude Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Very handy if you decorate with a pastry bag a lot. I have a very inexpensive one and it’s enough for as often (not that often) that I decorate a cake. KeepItReal and + FrankR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ aeikaryoko Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 It makes cake decorating so much easier. I’m an avid baker and it’s changed my game. I got this one off Amazon: Puroma 8-in-1 Aluminium Alloy... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FCFTDT5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share + FrankR, + sync, MikeBiDude and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbar123 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 For less than $6 you can buy a 6 inch square lazy Susan turntable bearing from Home Depot and make your own from useless junk you probably already have at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeezifonly Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Whether it’s off-the-shelf or a franken-gadget, it’s probably worth it if you do cakes every week because you love it, or make some change selling them. Enjoyment is enough - it’s a tool to achieve nicer results, just like a ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not the same ruler being used by guys on Grindr: we both know it doesn't measure straight or accurate! 🤣 + nycman, + sync and + bashful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to make cakes, but they typically don't have icing or decoration - just plain or with a glaze or whipped cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massageguy99 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I used to make cakes more often but now it is a few times a year. I ended up buying a cheap plastic one and man does it make frosting easier. Seriously I think I spent $10 and it is so much easier. Even if you use it fairly rarely I say get one. I purposely bought a shorter one without a stand because I didn't want it to take up room in the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
