TIME SAVING TIPS
SCALLOP
ACRYLIC
DISKS
Cake decorators can now use CakeSafe®
Acrylic Disks to achieve perfectly crisp
edges on each tier. Each disk is also etched
with a size marking and line around the
edge to help you center your tier.
On a round cake, and using the Scallop
Acrylic Disks as guides, you will add quite
a lot of buttercream. Be sure to make more
buttercream than you need so you don't
run out. Since so much buttercream is
being added, you may need to chill your
cake a couple of times throughout the icing
process.
Scallop Acrylic Disks are only available
in sets of two disks per size in order to
successfully create the scalloped edges in
buttercream.
Whatever size round cake you are using
is the same size you need for the Scallop
Acrylic Disks. For example, if you are baking
a 6 " round cake, you want to choose " 6
Inch " from the " Cake/Pan Size " drop-down
menu options.
CakeSafe recommends tracing parchment
paper and cutting it the same size as the
Scallop Acrylic Disk and adhering it to the
top disk.
Use either a metal icing scraper or CakeSafe's
OG Icing Scraper to get into the inner
points of the scallop shape.
Once your disks are on the top and bottom
of your cake tier, use your icing scraper
to line up the disks by pushing the scraper
into the crevices of the disks.
Before you order, please make sure you
measure your finished cakes and the bottom
of your cake pans to prevent having to exchange
your disks for a new size. Feel free
to call or email with any questions.
The general rule of thumb is:
* .5 " sizing - for cakes that shrink less
than 1/8 " (or not at all,) and you are
not planning to cover with fondant
* .25 " sizing - for cakes that shrink
more than 1/8 " or your cakes do not
shrink, but you are planning to cover
with fondant
* .00 " sizing - for cakes that shrink
more than 1/4 "

cakes are protected from heat, rain, wind,
anything airborne like dust or pollen, any
sudden or unexpected movements, bumpy
rides, and sudden stops.
You can drive like a " normal " person, at

for decades.
The durable materials used to create the
CakeSafe, and the way it's constructed,

The 3/8 " thick, food grade, stainless steel
center dowel runs through your cake, cardboard
between tiers, and cake drum.
With your cake in the CakeSafe box, the
rod runs from the top of the box, through
your cake, and into the bottom base of the
box.
This keeps your cake secure.
