Turntables

For the average cake, an inexpensive plastic turntable such as a lazy Susan, sold in housewares stores and supermarkets, works as well as a professional heavyweight footed variety. To bring the level up to the desired height, place the turntable on a large inverted cake pan. When frosting and decorating large tiered cakes, use a sturdy heavyweight turntable. The turntable can be transformed into an elegant cake server by placing a large serving plate or piece of marble on top. The heavyweight turntable is available from cake decorating supply stores.
