Description
- First number given in "Size" refers to border/perimeter, the second number to disk diameter, which means overall diameter (including border) Size of border going all around the disk is half the given number, but since each disk is made for a cake, the number given combines the border of two opposite sides of the disk (for two opposite sides of the cake), meaning border on one side plus border on opposite side 3/8 inch hole in center of each disk helps bakers center their cake tiers on the disks by using a temporary dowel as they ice Disk allows you to create perfectly smooth icing on your cakes, with the exact same amount of icing all the way around your cake, and extremely sharp edges Disk is 1/4 inch thick and marked with its size and a perimeter line to make centering your cakes easy
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. CakeSafe’s 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 company’s 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.

How did I manage without these?
Another great product by CakeSafe. These make icing a cake evenly a breeze. I went up 1/2” for the size, for example: 6” went to 6.5”, etc.

Scratched and blue
Mine came blue, not clear like the picture, and severely scratched. It shouldn’t mess with frosting the cake, but it’s still frustrating. There isn’t a plastic cover to remove, they’re just blue. They do have the 8 inch line marked around the circumference to help center the cake, which is why I bought them.

The holy grail of cake products
Once you use these, you’ll never look back. I honestly don’t know how I made a cake without them because they save me so much time. I have these in 4”, 6”, 8”, 9”, and 10”. I like using them with press and seal wrap for easy removable and clean up. These seriously help you get perfectly smooth buttercream and sharp edges.

Perfect cake disk
CakeSafe acrylic disks are the perfect tool to help you creat smooth sides on cakes. I have 6.25in, 6.5in, 8.25in and 8.5 inch and all are perfectly smooth, thick and straight.They are sturdy enough to double as a cake board too!
