CakeSafe Set of 2 Round Acrylic Disks with Center Hole and 1/4 Inch Border, Total Diameter 10-1/4 Inch

CakeSafe Round Acrylic Disk Note: Size of border/perimeter going all around the disk is half the given number, but since each disk is made for a cake, the number given here is for the border on two opposite sides of the disk for two opposite sides of the cake, meaning border on one side plus border on opposite side. What is the best size for me and my cakes?Make sure you are ordering the correct size disks for your specific cakes. Before you order, measure your finished cakes and the bottom of your cake pans to avoid having to exchange your disks for a new size. General Sizing Rule: 1/2-inch sizing For cakes that shrink LESS than 1/8 inch or not at all, AND you are NOT planning to cover with fondant. 1/4-inch sizing For cakes that shrink MORE than 1/8 inch OR your cakes do not shrink, but you are planning to cover with fondantPurpose of disks with center hole:Some bakers request a 3/8-inch center hole put in the disks. They use this to help them center their cake tiers on the disks by using a temporary dowel as they ice. If you do not chill your cakes before icing with the disks, you will need to put a temporary dowel through the disks and cake to make sure your layers do not shift. CakeSafes Acrylic Disk allows you to create perfectly smooth icing on your cakes. You'll have the exact same amount of icing all the way around your cake, and extremely sharp edges. The difference between the Acrylic Disk by CakeSafe and disks of other brands is the quality. CakeSafe makes the disk in the companys workshop in Rhode Island using quality 1/4-inch thick acrylic. CakeSafe engraves the disk with its size, a center marking, and a perimeter line to make centering your cakes easy.Handle with care. Hand wash with mild soap.
