What is a cake turntable used for? 

With the extra height a rotating cake stand gives, you will be closer and more on level with your cakes, making it easier to work without bending down to your cakes. It also gives you 360-degree access to your cake, allowing you to move it to the part you need instead of constantly moving around your table. Turning your cake will also reduce any damage or mishaps to your creation while decorating. The smooth revolving motion of your cake rotating stand will help you to create super sharp edges or an even and smooth cover on your cake.

Is a cake turntable worth it? 

If you enjoy baking and decorating cakes, a cake turntable is a great investment. Here's why a turntable for decorating cakes is worth it:

• Smooth decorating: It’s easier to apply icing smoothly and evenly when you can rotate the cake while piping or applying frosting. 
• Easy access: As you rotate your cake stand, decorating becomes faster and less tedious as you can access all sides without shuffling around a table. 
• Precise designs: Apply intricate decorations with ease, like piping or painting.
• Ergonomic comfort: Cake turntables stop you from crouching in awkward angles or wrist strain while decorating.

Make your cake decorating process so much easier with a good quality turntable! A smoothly rotating turntable will make it so much quicker to work around all of the sides of your cake by moving it rather than yourself! It might seem obvious, but our customers have told us time and time again what a game-changer this was in their cake decorating journey!

Cake Turntables are an invaluable piece of cake decorating equipment to any professional or home cake maker. All rotate freely and are easy to clean, some have textured non-slip surfaces to prevent cake boards from slipping but gripper mats can always be purchased separately, which are also useful to place under cakes when transporting.

Not to mention, a turntable is also handy for filming content of your cake for social media! A quick spin of your turntable can show off all of that beautiful detail to the camera.

How to choose a cake turntable

When choosing which cake turntable to purchase, think about the types of cakes you will most likely be decorating. If you’re a hobby baker making small, light birthday cakes, a simple plastic turntable may be just what you need. They are lightweight, don’t take up too much space, and are cheaper to buy.

If you are planning to make a lot of heavier, more elaborate cakes, perhaps with several tiers, you will need something sturdier, like a metal option. 

What Cake Turntable is best for heavy cakes? (New Content)

For decorating heavy cakes, you’ll need a metal turntable rather than a lightweight plastic one. Professional cake makers go for a sturdy aluminium turntable with a weighted base, to help keep it steady. We recommend the Professional Turntable from Couture or the Ateco turntable range, for smooth rotation and effortless buttercream scraping. These are more of an investment, but you can rely on them if you make a lot of larger, heavier cakes.

Smaller plastic turntables can end up sticking or vibrating under the weight of heavier cakes, which makes decorating more difficult. And, without a weighted base, they are more likely to slip around, allowing your cakes to slide. Not what you need in the middle of decorating a wedding cake!
