The CakeSafe is a transportation system for moving cakes, large and small. The materials used to create the box, and the way it’s constructed make for stress-free deliveries. Your cakes are protected from rain, wind, heat, and anything airborne like dust or pollen, any sudden or unexpected movements, bumpy rides, and sudden stops. You can drive like a “normal” person, at “normal” speeds for hours under normal conditions, and never have to worry that your cake will melt, shift, or fall. Really!
BUTTERCREAM / GANACHE ACRYLIC DISCS
These Acrylic Discs allow you to create a perfectly smooth finish on your cakes with buttercream or ganache to be decorated as is or covered with fondant. Kara Bustos (Sift by Kara) offers a full tutorial.
The best way to care for your Acrylic Discs is by handwashing them with soap and water. DO NOT use anti-bacterial soap on them as they will turn cloudy over time. The discs will work just as well if they're cloudy and unfortunately, there is no way to remove the cloudy-ness.
Both the CakeSafe acrylic discs and our scrapers are made from Plexiglas which is 100% food-safe and FDA-approved.
How do I determine the disc sizing that I need?
Use the diagram below to determine which size disk you need.
The .5 Inch disks will allow for 1/4" of frosting
The .25-inch disks will allow for 1/8" of frosting
The .00-inch disks are for cakes that shrink when baked. If you bake in a 6-inch cake pan, and your cake shrinks to 5.5 inches when baked, you do not want to purchase a 6.5-inch disk set because that will add too much icing.
My Cakes Shrink - What Size Disks Should I Order?
Typically, if you are using only Buttercream and your cakes shrink you should order the .25" sizing instead of the .5" sizing. If your cakes shrink a lot you may want the .00" sizing. Measure your baked cakes and depending on how wide they are and how much icing you want to add to them you will determine the size disks you need.

How do I use the Icing Scrapers?
The Icing Scrapers can be used with or without the Acrylic Disks, and they are for scraping excess buttercream or ganache off your cake. You may have used an angled spatula or a bench scraper to achieve smooth sides on your cake, and the Cake Scrapers work the same way. They work particularly well with the Acrylic Disks, as the beveled edge of the Scraper rests against the top and bottom disks and scrapes off excess buttercream or ganache as you spin your tier on a turntable.
