TIME SAVING TIPS
THE TIER
RULER
New from Cake Safe, the Tier Ruler takes the
guesswork out of stacking and centering tiers.
It also allows you to choose dowel placement
with precision and ease. This 14-inch clear
acrylic board is marked at every inch increment
with a perimeter of small holes. Using a
toothpick or bamboo skewer, mark an indent
in your icing or fondant where you will be
placing a top tier and/or dowels.
The Tier Ruler will save you time and
give precise results, so your tiered cakes
are structurally sound.
There is also a center hole in the Tier Ruler
so you can mark the center of any cake board,
drum, or base in less than a second. It is 14
inches wide and 1/8 inch thick. The device is
handwash only. Store the Tier Ruler flat.
CakeSafe® is a family owned and operated
business in Peace Dale, R.I. Owners
Juli and Scott Chapin met in 1983 when
Juli moved to Rhode Island to attend Johnson
& Wales Culinary Institute. They discovered
a shared love for Rhode Island, life
on the water, and along the way, a passion
for using their talents to create. Juli opened
a successful wedding cake business in
1986 and in the early stages she realized
that moving a large wedding cake can be
extremely stressful. Scott came up with the
idea for the original CakeSafe and built the
first one in 1989. They are still using CakeSafes
to move all the cakes Juli makes for
shows all over the country. Since Juli began
using CakeSafes she has not had a single
damaged cake due to transport.
