How To Get a Perfectly Straight Cake Using Acrylic Discs - Topless Baker
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
For YEARS I have wondered how people get their cakes so perfectly straight until I discovered acrylic discs. This little tool is an absolute cake game changer and makes any wonky cake perfectly straight! Acrylic discs allow you to get your bench scraper completely vertical which means that you get a perfectly smooth, straight cake every time.
A few little guides if you are going to buy your own acrylic discs:
I buy my acrylic discs so that they are .5" larger than my cake. So for a 7" cake, I use a 7.5" acrylic disc. This gives me /25" of frosting each side. If you want a little less then go for a 7.4" or 7.3".
I got mine from a company called Simply Plastics but if you google 'Custom Acrylic Discs' there will be lots of plastic suppliers you can use!

@KLGoodman no I'm straight I came for the cake decorating lol
So not sure if anyone else noticed but ahhh the cakes edges are definitely not straight and are most certainly on an angle.... A set square would have been useful to make sure they are perfectly square from base to top. By the way I use acrylic discs and they do indeed save so much time when decorating!

you wouldn't get a even amount of frosting around the cake with it leaning that much...

He also needed to adjust the cake layers then support the cake with dowels or boba straws if the cake layer weren't strong enough the weight of each additional layer. .
Such a fantastic idea! Cannot wait to try this out when filming my next cake 😊
Ummmmmm so I tried really hard to focus on the cake , but my eyes just some how wonder else where 😊. How do you you expect anyone to pay attention to what you are doing when you are looking so gorgeous? 😍.

Great video but how do you remove the bottom disk before sending the cake out to a customer. Would you just use a cardboard disk for the bottom?.

Great video do you just leave the bottom disks in
@Hervinbalfour

No you don't. You get a small pallet knife or razor knife and run it along the bottom in between the disc and cardboard layer and simply lift the cake off.
Such a brilliant idea
You are my favorite. I came across you today and what a find. You're so entertaining and informative. #baking #bestbakingtips
This is actually brilliant aaaaa
Its quite sad all social media of toplessbaker is no longer exsist 😐, hope you allright

he changed his name. just search for "matt adlard" :)
To simplify scraping the sides without catching on your nonslip pad, trim the nonslip pad 1/2-1” smaller than your acrylic disk. You will then be sliding the scraper on your smooth turntable.
I hope you're doing okay and healthy Matt 😞 really miss you and your videos 💔

Yummmmmmyyyyy ....🤤.. The cake looks delicious too
I love this Video It's Fairly Good 😘❤️
thanks so much for this! I do have a question though - how did you do the edges cleanly without touchingthe sides of the cake?
Oh how I miss your awesome cake and dessert videos
Oh nice tip! .... cake tip. Also - are you shoulders rounder? Woah!
I did love this channel. I wonder where he went. At least an explanation would be awesome.
Greetings from Peru c: 💕
The cake was still wonky at the end. I’ve had the discs for about six years. I got them at the same time as my cake decorating friends in order to ganache cakes quickly using the Faye Cahill method.
😍😍😍 So Cute
Me encanta!!!
cool
Hello! You are without a doubt the sexiest baker on KZread! Greetings and love from the USA!
Are we able to put a cake board down before putting it on an acrylic disk?
yyyyaaaaassss a new video
I'm curious as to how this might work if I'm making cakes to sell. How would I release the cake from that bottom acrylic?

You could cut that drawer liner in a circle just slightly smaller than the acrylic disk.

It you had trimmed off the uneven tops of each cake and then stacked them you would not have a " wonky" lopsided cake to frost.
you should be the one to crack the code to WHITE CHOCOLATE NUTELLA!
Please tell me the recipe coating for the cake 🙏😍
First time i'm here super early, it still under 1k views
Hey cutie can you plz make a video on a money cake please thank you😍💓
Hi, your instagram is not active. 😊
👋
Oof he took out the grippy grey mat. I was just thinking that it'll be so annoying to scrape with it on.
When giving out the ingredients in your cake frosting, have you ever thought of using your last name in there somewhere? (Signed, Wisenheimer). 😉
Does anyone know what's happened?
No more vids?
I really really love you.... You are so handsome and you are the perfect man every woman want I love your videos, your recipees💕😍👌🍮🥧
이런 보석같은 계정을 왜 이제야 찾은건지.. 인생 헛살았다...
wow 5 months since last video
ok, i tried this tall multi layered cake, it was an epic fail, the cake smushed into a huge mess I even tried chopsticks to keep it together and ugh, no no no, i thinkthe cakes were too moist
Wow. I'm a hole sir.
At one point I thought the cake might be a metaphor.
Hey dude, can you please update us on this channel? (or does anyone know something?) he hasn't posted anything on social media for about 4 months now and there are no videos since then. Maybe someone who's close to him can say something? we miss you.
