If you’re doubt about this product, don’t be! Very few products live up to the hype but this absolutely does. It will take your cake game to the next level. Just a note, I see Juli removes the disks while the buttercream is room temperature but for my fidgety hands I could never without messing up my sharp edges. I definitely have to chill it until it’s rock hard before I touch the top or bottom disk. Also you really want to line up the top and bottom disk accurately or else you will have beautiful sharp edges but your cake will look slanted like this / Lastly I like to add the top disk to the cake and secure with buttercream to the top edge of the cake, line it up with the bottom disk like Juli but I prefer to chill the cake at this point before I proceed with adding buttercream to the rest of the cake and smoothing. I find the top disk can move around when/if I press my scraper too hard around the cake. Chilling the top disk and making sure it’s secure to the cake first prevents this. Just my thoughts as I use these disks all the time and they make the job 10x easier.
Thank you SO much for sharing your experience! We appreciate it very much. And it's wonderful to hear the different ways you customize the disk icing process. There are so many ways to tailor the process to how you like it best. Your tips are fantastic!
@@kimberlyneal9790 It depends on how thick you want your buttercream layer to be. I find that 1/4" of buttercream is sufficient for my taste, so I go with the ones that add 1/4" to the sides.
Thanks so much for this! I, too, chill my cakes at the same points in the process as you. I also use gloves when I remove the disks - I find that if my warm hands DO touch the BC, then at least they're not as warm as with gloves & leave less of a mark. I also can't help myself & I do crumb coat... do you? I can't seem to break that habit, although I should probably try skipping it!

We love that there are so many different methods to use CakeSafe Acrylic Disks. Some use parchment, and others use wax paper, plastic wrap, press 'n seal, and some don't use anything and remove the top disk with a hot knife. :)
How did it go? With any new process it takes a few tries to get the hang of. I'm happy to help with tips and tricks if you want. My email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com
Hi Colleen, Thank you so much! Yes, we can do a video using the rectangle/sheet cake Acrylic Disks. We'll keep that in mind for when we film videos. Thank you very much for the suggestion. -Rachel
Yes that looks like it cuts out a lot of extra steps. I will be ordering! Do you mind sharing your buttercream recipe it looks so light and fluffy and so spreadable. Thank you

Am definitely gonna put it to practice, and thanks for sharing your idea, it will save me time and creating those crisp clean lines on a cake will be a breeze. I was really struggling last week to make a smooth surface on a cake until I came across your amazing idea, from now onwards no more struggling for me I will be making use of your amazing idea Thank you so much🤗
Thank you Marie! The website to purchase is www.CakeSafe.com. If you cover with fondant or your cakes tend to shrink go with the .25" sizing. That will give you 1/8" of icing all the way around your cakes. If you only cover with buttercream or ganache go for the .5" sizing (the sizing used above). That will give you 1/4" of icing around your cake. Let us know if you have any question! -Rachel
Thank you for this tutorial! I bought some discs from you, and I am struggling with the bottom disc. I know that practice makes perfect, and I am working on it! Jenny.
Hi Jenny! So sorry I didn't see this earlier! Did you get the hang of it? It took Juli about 6 times before she was icing quickly and comfortably with the disks. Email me at CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com or call/text 401-378-8766 if you still have any issues.
Thank you so much! Here is a link to a video to see me making the recipe, you'll find a link to the written recipe in the description of that video. ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html
The cake looks stunning! When you have finished the cake and removed it from the bottom acrylic, how do you then attach the cake (with the cake card) on to a cake board?
Thank you so much!! Here's the link to a video of our owner Juli making her buttercream: ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html It's Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I can email you a PDF of the recipe if you shoot me an email to CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com :)

Hi! Thanks for the question! So, first you'd measure your baked cakes to make sure they definitely measure 6", 8", and 10". It's common for cakes to shrink when baked. If you're doing a fondant cake you'd add .25" to the measurement of your baked cake. So if your cakes measured 6, 8, and 10 inches, you'd buy the 6.25, 8.25, and 10.25" disk sets. Or if you're just doing buttercream you'd add .5" to the measurements of your baked cake. If you need custom sizing we can do that for you at no extra cost. Let me know if you have any other questions. Warmly, Rachel
Thanks so much! We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream. It's so silky and we like the taste a lot better than American Buttercream. Here is a link to our owner Juli's recipe: www.cakesafe.com/blog/beautifully-smooth-buttercream-guide-achieving-crisp-edges-and-flawless-sides
@@JKFitz I totally understand! Where are you located? We do have a few stores around the country (and world) that carry our products. And we're always here to help if you want to talk over the different sizing options or have in depth questions. You can call 401-378-8766 or email info@cakesafe.com :) Warmly, Rachel
@@CakeSafeLLC Wow!! Thanks that is the best response I have recieved from a business via online :) I'm in Northern Mn. Near lake Superior. I think i know what I want to purchase but just a bit unsure of spending the $ + shipping. But i think i want just over 8 inch size cake discs. I dont like too much buttercream on the sides so i think thats 1/4 inch which equates to the .25 or whatever right ?
J.K Fitz I’m so sorry for the delay! We had a glitch in getting UA-cam notifications. Yes, definitely go with the 8.25 size. The best thing is to measure your cake to make sure it doesn’t shrink to something like 7.5”. If it did, you could go with the 8.00 size or we can make you a custom size for no extra cost. Unfortunately we don’t have a store in your area, but you could check thedreamcake.net. That’s a store in CA who you may be able to get a better shipping rate from. Thank you so much for the kind words!! I hope your great experience wasn’t tarnished by the long delay in this reply. You can also reach out to Marissa at info@cakesafe.com or call/text 401-378-8766. She will get back to you within 24 business hours. :)
We do not, but a lot of our customers do. It's all personal preference. If you have any other questions email info@cakesafe.com or call/text 401-378-8766.
Wish it wasn't so expensive to ship to Canada. For the Essential Kit after conversion and shipping. It tripled in price🙈 And that doesn't include duty yet. Btw, your buttercream looks so yummy. I can never get my Swiss meringue to look that good. I'm going try your recipe on your blog.
I'm so sorry about the shipping. Obviously we have no control over the prices that the shipping carriers charge, but we do have a policy that if customers pay any more for shipping than we do, we refund them the difference. If you want an exact quote on what we will pay for shipping please email info@cakesafe.com. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Yes we do! Our owner was a professional baker for 30+ years. Here is a link to her recipe for Swiss Meringue Buttercream. It's what you see in most of our tutorial videos, and her clients' most requested icing. www.cakesafe.com/blog/beautifully-smooth-buttercream-guide-achieving-crisp-edges-and-flawless-sides Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! You can watch Juli make the buttercream here: ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html and there's a link in the description for the recipe. :)
Thank you for your video I’m wanting to try this but have been nervous Do you put the cake in the cool room/fridge before you take the the disc and paper of? You icing looks totally beautiful and smooth. Thank in advance
Juli does not chill before removal, but that's just her preference. She uses Swiss Meringue Buttercream and likes removing right after icing. However other bakers do like to chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes before removal. If you run into any problems at all if you try out our acrylic disks, you can email me directly at CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com and I can give you tips to solve anything!
Hi Arundhuti, Whip cream may be too light to hold up the top disk so you may have to ice without icing under the top disk first. Then ice the top after you ice the sides. We do have some customers who use whip cream icing with the disks and have great results.
Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions at all. And we have a company policy that if you pay any more for shipping than we do we send you a refund for the difference. www.CakeSafe.com
Thank you so much! It definitely comes with practice, but after a few times you'll be able to get flawless icing in minutes. You can purchase the Acrylic Disks on www.CakeSafe.com. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Warmly, Rachel
Hi Keishley! Thank you so much! We love Swiss Meringue Buttercream here at CakeSafe.

Hi Dorothy! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you loved the tutorial. You will buy disks a little bit larger than your cake. If your cake measures 6 inches, you'll buy either 6.25 or 6.50 inch disks depending how thick you want your icing to be. Here's a handy video to help you decide. We do offer disks the same size as your cake (example: 6" cake and 6.00" disks), but that would be for a naked cake look. It's important to measure your cakes before you buy because cakes typically shrink a bit when baked. ua-cam.com/video/vmBdEibOJzg/v-deo.html Let us know if you have any questions. info@cakesafe.com or call/text 401-378-8766 Thank you, Rachel
Hi there, love this video! How would you attach it to a larger cake board when you have finished icing it? Do you take off the existing cake board and place on top of the new cake board with some icing? Is it as easy as this? Thanks!
Thank you so much! Yes, it's super easy! The cardboard that the same size as the cake always stays underneath it. Throughout this video there is cardboard between the cake and the bottom disk. When removing from the disks, you slide your palette knife between the bottom cardboard and the bottom disk, so the cardboard stays with the cake. Then you simply add a dab of buttercream on a larger cake board/cake drum and place your cake on top of it. The dab of buttercream acts like glue to secure the cardboard under your cake to the larger cake board/drum.
We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Here's a link to download our recipe. :) www.cakesafe.com/store#!/Julis-Swiss-Meringue-Buttercream-Recipe/p/408707208
I've ordered these and am excited about trying them. Would allowing the cake to set up and chill with the discs on it before removing them be a good or a bad thing?
Hi Janae! Thank you for your support of our family business. We're excited for you to experience the magic of Acrylic Disks! They do take some getting used to. It took our owner Juli about 5 times before she was comfortable with using them. Now she can ice an 8 inch cake in 12 minutes flat! Now to answer your question, we use Swiss Meringue Buttercream and prefer not to chill before removing the disks, but that's just us! Some people who use SMBC do chill before disk removal. Most all bakers who use American Buttercream put the cake in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing the disks. Try out both ways to see what your personal preference is. Your acrylic disks will arrive with instructions showing what we think is the best acrylic disk method for getting sharp edges, but feel free to tailor the process to how you like it best. If you run into any issues my direct email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com.
Thank you for the question. We offer 3 icing thickness sizes on CakeSafe.com. When ordering our Acrylic Disks, you'll first select the pan size. Then you'll select your preferred icing thickness size of .00", .25", or .5". Here is a video that can help you decide which icing thickness you'd prefer. And FYI - Juli uses our .5" sizing, but she likes a very thick layer of buttercream. Other bakers don't like the .5" sizing because that means they have to make more buttercream than they're used to. ua-cam.com/video/vmBdEibOJzg/v-deo.html
No luster at all! It's just naturally silky and shiny! Here's a link to watch Juli make the icing. In the description of that video you'll see another link to the recipe. ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html
Thank you! We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream. The Acrylic Disks will work with any icing, but we love how silky Swiss Meringue Buttercream is. Here is a video of Juli making it: ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html And here is a link to her recipe: www.cakesafe.com/blog/beautifully-smooth-buttercream-guide-achieving-crisp-edges-and-flawless-sides Let me know if you have any questions. Warmly, Rachel
Great question. We do not chill before removing the disks, but that is totally personal preference. Most bakers who use American Buttercream will chill in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing the disks. We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream and do not chill. Here is a video showing how 4 different people remove their acrylic disks. Try out different ways to see what works best for you! ua-cam.com/video/dHL8D230bSM/v-deo.html
I know there’s videos of our customers doing it on Instagram. Try searching the hashtag #teamacrylics if you’re on Instagram. That’s the hashtag our customers use. To do an ombré cake with the disks the easiest thing is to have your different colors in different piping bags. Apply in the order you like, scrape, fill in holes with the corresponding color, and repeat! It’s easy and fun with the acrylic disks.
Thank you for the question! You can use whipped cream, but it's best with a stabilized whipped cream recipe. If the whipped cream isn't thick enough to hold up the top acrylic disks, you'd just ice the top last, after removing the disks. Let me know if you have any other questions. My direct email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com :)
We do not chill before removing the disks, but I know many people do. We ice and remove the disks in one sitting because it's fast and efficient. Then we chill before we stack tiers. You can definitely chill the cake before removing the disks if you want to.
Thank you so much! No, Juli never refrigerates before removing the disks. This is her personal preference though. A lot of our customers choose to chill their cakes in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing the acrylic disks. It's best to experiment with which method you like best. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Rachel
Hi, Great video. Was just wondering how thick the Acrylic disks are? And do you put your cakes in the fridge before removing the disks as my buttercream would stick to the disks. Thanks.
Hi Melissa! Great questions. The Acrylic Disks are made out of very high quality material. They're 1/4" thick. We've heard some people buying from companies who offer thinner material and it ends up warping, then they find us! :) We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream and don't put our cakes in the fridge before removing the disks. However, this is all personal preference. Most all of our customers who use American Buttercream do put the cake in the freezer for about 20 minutes before removing the disks. And some of our customers who use Swiss Meringue do put the cake in the fridge too, but a lot of them don't chill like us. We recommend experimenting with your preferred method. And we're always available if you have questions or run into any problems. We've talked to thousands of customers so we have lots of tips and tricks if an issue comes up. Let me know if you think of any other questions. You can also reach us at info@cakesafe.com or @cakesafe on instagram and facebook. Warmly, Rachel
Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions. We have lots of tips and tricks for beginners. You can email me directly at CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com
Hi Martha! You can make the disk process your own in many ways. Instead of parchment you can use plastic wrap, press n seal, or nothing at all. If you don't use anything at all you can experiment with chilling your cake before removing the top disk and soak a knife in hot water to remove it. Let me know if you think of any other questions. Warmly, Rachel
I don't have a razor blade knife or pallet knife but will be using the 0.25 disks tomorrow. Do you suggest anything else as a substitution for those knifes? :)
You can use whatever tools you have on hand. I’d recommend the thinnest metal spatula that you have. Or a long thin blade knife. Let us know how it goes! The first time is the trickiest. It gets easier after a few times using them.
@@CakeSafeLLC thanks! Oh boy...I hope my first time is successful! I wish I had seen it before so I had time to practice. I'll update you :) thanks for getting back to me!

Absolutely! You got it! Here is the link to the recipe. www.cakesafe.com/blog/beautifully-smooth-buttercream-guide-achieving-crisp-edges-and-flawless-sides And here is a video showing how Juli gets rid of any air bubbles and achieves the right texture.

Lefties are the besties ;)
That looks like perfection! Wow I was wondering getting one but will definitely buy one now
Thank you so much! If you have any questions just let me know.
Is it necessary to have discs both bottom and top ?
Your butter cream looks beautiful
Thank you SO much! It's Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Here's a video of Juli making it, and the link to the recipe is in the description. ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html
The results are beautiful. I definitely need those.
Thank you so much! We're here for you whenever you are ready to purchase. Let me know if you have any questions. My direct email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com
because of this video, i ordered and received the disk today.
Thank you so much for your support. Let us know how you like them!!
Your voice is so soothing
When you use a level to make sure the top of the cake is level, you should first make sure the countertop and the turntable are level.
Yes or it won't even matter
Hello where can I buy these disk I would love to buy them for my granddaughter as a gift thank you in advance God bless
Love you scraper can I buy some and where thanks God bless
I like all your great tips.. thank you
I've watched this video so many times, it's the best one I've seen on covering a cake, it looks perfect, I've bought the discs, do you have the recipe for your butter cream please, it looks so soft and silky.
Hi Amelia! Thank you so much! Here's a link to our owner Juli's Swiss Meringue Buttercream: www.cakesafe.com/blog/beautifully-smooth-buttercream-guide-achieving-crisp-edges-and-flawless-sides
Hi! Where to buy the discs please?
Zyra Mae it’s in the description 😊
whoaaa that buttercream is so smooth
Thank you so much! The Acrylic Disks make it easy to get smooth icing on any cake. And we love Swiss Meringue Buttercream because it's so silky. You can see a video of Juli making the buttercream here: ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html And there's a link in that video's description for the recipe itself. Let me know if you have any questions about it. :)
Thanks, I plan to cover the acrylic sheet in plastic wrap so it will be easier to lift off the cake and then smooth over the top
We love that there are so many different methods to use CakeSafe Acrylic Disks. Some use parchment, and others use wax paper, plastic wrap, press 'n seal, and some don't use anything and remove the top disk with a hot knife. :)
Your video is so satisfying to watch!!
Thank you!! We think so too!
This video is so relaxing, great job!
Thank you! 😊
I’m about to try this 😊 fingers crossed
How did it go? With any new process it takes a few tries to get the hang of. I'm happy to help with tips and tricks if you want. My email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com
Absolutely BRILLIANT Idea!
Thank you! :)
I love mine!It has cut hours of work off. Would you consider a video on the rectangle ones?
Hi Colleen,
Thank you so much! Yes, we can do a video using the rectangle/sheet cake Acrylic Disks. We'll keep that in mind for when we film videos. Thank you very much for the suggestion.
-Rachel
Thank you!!
Yes that looks like it cuts out a lot of extra steps. I will be ordering! Do you mind sharing your buttercream recipe it looks so light and fluffy and so spreadable. Thank you
Hi Charmaine! Thanks so much! If you order Monday - Friday before 2pm EST we'll mail your order out the same day. I'd be happy to share the buttercream recipe. Here's a link to a blog post we did with the recipe:

Am definitely gonna put it to practice, and thanks for sharing your idea, it will save me time and creating those crisp clean lines on a cake will be a breeze. I was really struggling last week to make a smooth surface on a cake until I came across your amazing idea, from now onwards no more struggling for me I will be making use of your amazing idea
Thank you so much🤗
Fantastic video you make it look so easy I will have to give these a try.
Thank you Marie! The website to purchase is www.CakeSafe.com. If you cover with fondant or your cakes tend to shrink go with the .25" sizing. That will give you 1/8" of icing all the way around your cakes. If you only cover with buttercream or ganache go for the .5" sizing (the sizing used above). That will give you 1/4" of icing around your cake. Let us know if you have any question!
-Rachel
Love the acrylic discs! Thank you!
Thank YOU! So happy you are loving them.
That was so helpful!! Thank you for sharing❤❤
You are so welcome! :)
Thank you for this tutorial! I bought some discs from you, and I am struggling with the bottom disc. I know that practice makes perfect, and I am working on it! Jenny.
Hi Jenny! So sorry I didn't see this earlier! Did you get the hang of it? It took Juli about 6 times before she was icing quickly and comfortably with the disks. Email me at CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com or call/text 401-378-8766 if you still have any issues.
Absolutely beautiful. You butter cream also shiny. Can you please give us the way you done the butter cream
Thank you so much! Here is a link to a video to see me making the recipe, you'll find a link to the written recipe in the description of that video. ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html
The cake looks stunning! When you have finished the cake and removed it from the bottom acrylic, how do you then attach the cake (with the cake card) on to a cake board?
Thank you! Great question! Juli simply uses some of the icing to act as glue between her cardboard beneath the tier and the cake drum.
Excellent video, really helpful. Thanks for posting.

Love this video! Just superb, thanks. xx
If I was doing a 6” cake what size disk do I need and for the 8”’ and 10” you made it look so easy. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for the question! So, first you'd measure your baked cakes to make sure they definitely measure 6", 8", and 10". It's common for cakes to shrink when baked. If you're doing a fondant cake you'd add .25" to the measurement of your baked cake. So if your cakes measured 6, 8, and 10 inches, you'd buy the 6.25, 8.25, and 10.25" disk sets. Or if you're just doing buttercream you'd add .5" to the measurements of your baked cake. If you need custom sizing we can do that for you at no extra cost. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Warmly,
Rachel
I love watching your videos
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that!
This is a dream! So when I use this on my cake is a dry crumb coat not necessary and I can just get to icing? Thanks so much!
Our owner Juli never crumb coats when she uses our Acrylic Disks. Some people still prefer to, but you can experiment with how you like it best. 👍
Your buttercream looks very soft and easy to work with do you have the recipe to share?
Thanks so much! We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream. It's so silky and we like the taste a lot better than American Buttercream. Here is a link to our owner Juli's recipe: www.cakesafe.com/blog/beautifully-smooth-buttercream-guide-achieving-crisp-edges-and-flawless-sides
This is a great informational video & Ive been wondering what those are and didnt know the name of them

@@CakeSafeLLC Thank you !! I wish i could come and see all the selections in a store, its not as easy to choose online... I guess Im getting old lol

@@CakeSafeLLC Wow!! Thanks that is the best response I have recieved from a business via online :) I'm in Northern Mn. Near lake Superior. I think i know what I want to purchase but just a bit unsure of spending the $ + shipping. But i think i want just over 8 inch size cake discs. I dont like too much buttercream on the sides so i think thats 1/4 inch which equates to the .25 or whatever right ?
J.K Fitz I’m so sorry for the delay! We had a glitch in getting UA-cam notifications. Yes, definitely go with the 8.25 size. The best thing is to measure your cake to make sure it doesn’t shrink to something like 7.5”. If it did, you could go with the 8.00 size or we can make you a custom size for no extra cost. Unfortunately we don’t have a store in your area, but you could check thedreamcake.net. That’s a store in CA who you may be able to get a better shipping rate from.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I hope your great experience wasn’t tarnished by the long delay in this reply. You can also reach out to Marissa at info@cakesafe.com or call/text 401-378-8766. She will get back to you within 24 business hours. :)
What’s your buttercream recipe? Your buttercream looks beautiful
Hi Lesslie! I'm happy to share the recipe! Email me at CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com and I"ll reply with a PDF of the recipe. Thanks so much!
Do you chill the cake before removing the acrylic disks?
We do not, but a lot of our customers do. It's all personal preference. If you have any other questions email info@cakesafe.com or call/text 401-378-8766.
I chill the cake and it comes off perfectly
For how long do we need to chill the cake before removing acrylic disks?
Divya Gupta I would chill it least an hour 😊
Perfection.
Can you send your recipe for buttercream? It looks so creamy and easy to spread.
Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic and perfect!!
Wish it wasn't so expensive to ship to Canada. For the Essential Kit after conversion and shipping. It tripled in price🙈 And that doesn't include duty yet. Btw, your buttercream looks so yummy. I can never get my Swiss meringue to look that good. I'm going try your recipe on your blog.
I'm so sorry about the shipping. Obviously we have no control over the prices that the shipping carriers charge, but we do have a policy that if customers pay any more for shipping than we do, we refund them the difference.

My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for your video I’m wanting to try this but have been nervous Do you put the cake in the cool room/fridge before you take the the disc and paper of? You icing looks totally beautiful and smooth. Thank in advance
Juli does not chill before removal, but that's just her preference. She uses Swiss Meringue Buttercream and likes removing right after icing. However other bakers do like to chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes before removal. If you run into any problems at all if you try out our acrylic disks, you can email me directly at CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com and I can give you tips to solve anything!
Hi Julie that was a great tutorial. Do you think this method will work well with whip cream too.
Hi Arundhuti,
Whip cream may be too light to hold up the top disk so you may have to ice without icing under the top disk first. Then ice the top after you ice the sides. We do have some customers who use whip cream icing with the disks and have great results.
Very helpful! I love using mine! now I need to get smaller ones for my 4 inch cakes ;-) XOXOX
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you’re loving yours.
Nice. Thank you . I think I will be giving these a try.
Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions at all. And we have a company policy that if you pay any more for shipping than we do we send you a refund for the difference. www.CakeSafe.com

WOW!!!!!! How easy you make it look! Where can I buy the discs?
Thank you so much! It definitely comes with practice, but after a few times you'll be able to get flawless icing in minutes. You can purchase the Acrylic Disks on www.CakeSafe.com. Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Fantastic I’m going to buy myself some if these, do I use the same size disc as my cake ? Thanks for this great tutorial I feel inspired . X
Hi Dorothy! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you loved the tutorial. You will buy disks a little bit larger than your cake. If your cake measures 6 inches, you'll buy either 6.25 or 6.50 inch disks depending how thick you want your icing to be. Here's a handy video to help you decide. We do offer disks the same size as your cake (example: 6" cake and 6.00" disks), but that would be for a naked cake look. It's important to measure your cakes before you buy because cakes typically shrink a bit when baked. ua-cam.com/video/vmBdEibOJzg/v-deo.html

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!
Hi there, love this video! How would you attach it to a larger cake board when you have finished icing it? Do you take off the existing cake board and place on top of the new cake board with some icing? Is it as easy as this? Thanks!
Thank you so much! Yes, it's super easy! The cardboard that the same size as the cake always stays underneath it. Throughout this video there is cardboard between the cake and the bottom disk. When removing from the disks, you slide your palette knife between the bottom cardboard and the bottom disk, so the cardboard stays with the cake. Then you simply add a dab of buttercream on a larger cake board/cake drum and place your cake on top of it. The dab of buttercream acts like glue to secure the cardboard under your cake to the larger cake board/drum.
Thank you! Your buttercream looks very smooth. What is your recipe?

@@punkynoodle9370 thank you so much for your support! If you have any questions, my direct email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com
I've ordered these and am excited about trying them. Would allowing the cake to set up and chill with the discs on it before removing them be a good or a bad thing?
Hi Janae! Thank you for your support of our family business. We're excited for you to experience the magic of Acrylic Disks! They do take some getting used to. It took our owner Juli about 5 times before she was comfortable with using them. Now she can ice an 8 inch cake in 12 minutes flat! Now to answer your question, we use Swiss Meringue Buttercream and prefer not to chill before removing the disks, but that's just us! Some people who use SMBC do chill before disk removal. Most all bakers who use American Buttercream put the cake in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing the disks. Try out both ways to see what your personal preference is. Your acrylic disks will arrive with instructions showing what we think is the best acrylic disk method for getting sharp edges, but feel free to tailor the process to how you like it best. If you run into any issues my direct email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com.
Thank you for this video! and your products!
You're so welcome! So happy you like our products :)
This is amazing, what is the difference in sizes of your pans and acrylic disks because I can see they are not the same
Thank you for the question. We offer 3 icing thickness sizes on CakeSafe.com. When ordering our Acrylic Disks, you'll first select the pan size. Then you'll select your preferred icing thickness size of .00", .25", or .5". Here is a video that can help you decide which icing thickness you'd prefer. And FYI - Juli uses our .5" sizing, but she likes a very thick layer of buttercream. Other bakers don't like the .5" sizing because that means they have to make more buttercream than they're used to. ua-cam.com/video/vmBdEibOJzg/v-deo.html
That buttercream is so shiny! Does it have lustre in it?
No luster at all! It's just naturally silky and shiny! Here's a link to watch Juli make the icing. In the description of that video you'll see another link to the recipe. ua-cam.com/video/YWGrPuOllSU/v-deo.html
Amazing video, may I ask what buttercream you use it so smooth .

Just a quick question, love these BTW. Do you chill the cake before removing the top circle?
Great question. We do not chill before removing the disks, but that is totally personal preference. Most bakers who use American Buttercream will chill in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing the disks. We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream and do not chill. Here is a video showing how 4 different people remove their acrylic disks. Try out different ways to see what works best for you! ua-cam.com/video/dHL8D230bSM/v-deo.html
I'd love to know how to do the ombre technique with these disc.
I know there’s videos of our customers doing it on Instagram. Try searching the hashtag #teamacrylics if you’re on Instagram. That’s the hashtag our customers use. To do an ombré cake with the disks the easiest thing is to have your different colors in different piping bags. Apply in the order you like, scrape, fill in holes with the corresponding color, and repeat! It’s easy and fun with the acrylic disks.
Wow. Thnk u for this video... canonize this for whipping cream too?? Coz they don’t crust like butter cream I guess. Kindly let me know
Tia
Thank you for the question! You can use whipped cream, but it's best with a stabilized whipped cream recipe. If the whipped cream isn't thick enough to hold up the top acrylic disks, you'd just ice the top last, after removing the disks. Let me know if you have any other questions. My direct email is CakeSafeRachel@gmail.com :)
@@CakeSafeLLC thnq dear.. will try .. and let u know..😬😬😬
Wow!!!! I love it
You know its business when she breaks out a leveler on frosting
Haha! You know it! Sometimes she misplaces her small baking level so she sanitizes her husbands construction level. :)
Have you cooled or froze the cake before removing the discs with your warm palette?
We do not chill before removing the disks, but I know many people do. We ice and remove the disks in one sitting because it's fast and efficient. Then we chill before we stack tiers. You can definitely chill the cake before removing the disks if you want to.
I love that technick
I'm so happy you liked it! Let us know if you have any questions.
So very delicious 😋
Love the video, quick question did you put the cake in the fridge before you took the top acrylic disk?
Thank you so much! No, Juli never refrigerates before removing the disks. This is her personal preference though. A lot of our customers choose to chill their cakes in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing the acrylic disks. It's best to experiment with which method you like best. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
Rachel
Hi, Great video. Was just wondering how thick the Acrylic disks are? And do you put your cakes in the fridge before removing the disks as my buttercream would stick to the disks. Thanks.
Hi Melissa! Great questions. The Acrylic Disks are made out of very high quality material. They're 1/4" thick. We've heard some people buying from companies who offer thinner material and it ends up warping, then they find us! :) We use Swiss Meringue Buttercream and don't put our cakes in the fridge before removing the disks. However, this is all personal preference. Most all of our customers who use American Buttercream do put the cake in the freezer for about 20 minutes before removing the disks. And some of our customers who use Swiss Meringue do put the cake in the fridge too, but a lot of them don't chill like us. We recommend experimenting with your preferred method. And we're always available if you have questions or run into any problems. We've talked to thousands of customers so we have lots of tips and tricks if an issue comes up. Let me know if you think of any other questions. You can also reach us at info@cakesafe.com or @cakesafe on instagram and facebook.

nice tutorial,what can be used as a substitute for parchment paper for this pls
Hi Martha! You can make the disk process your own in many ways. Instead of parchment you can use plastic wrap, press n seal, or nothing at all. If you don't use anything at all you can experiment with chilling your cake before removing the top disk and soak a knife in hot water to remove it. Let me know if you think of any other questions.
Warmly,
Rachel
I don't have a razor blade knife or pallet knife but will be using the 0.25 disks tomorrow. Do you suggest anything else as a substitution for those knifes? :)
You can use whatever tools you have on hand. I’d recommend the thinnest metal spatula that you have. Or a long thin blade knife. Let us know how it goes! The first time is the trickiest. It gets easier after a few times using them.
@@CakeSafeLLC thanks! Oh boy...I hope my first time is successful! I wish I had seen it before so I had time to practice. I'll update you :) thanks for getting back to me!
