Turntables and ganache scrapers
Manual or electric turntables and square ganache scrapers, for icing and smoothing cakes with crisp edges.
The turntable, a basic tool
The turntable supports the cake while icing and lets you rotate it with one hand while smoothing the cream with the other. The manual model is suitable for occasional use, while the electric model rotates at a constant speed, freeing both hands for more even smoothing on tiered cakes.
Ganache scrapers and boards
Square or rectangular ganache scrapers and boards serve as rigid guides for icing a cake with right-angle edges rather than rounded ones. Placed against the side of the cake, the board scrapes off excess cream as the cake rotates, creating crisp edges without any additional spatula work.
