Cake Transfer Disks Nordic Ware makes a handy nonstick 10 inch round disk with a handle, called a cake lifter, which is designed to help transfer cakes and cake layers.

Cardboard Rounds Cardboard rounds (also referred to as cake circles) are invaluable for supporting cake layers. They are available in large quantities from paper supply houses such as Qualitá Paper and in small packages from cake decorating and baking supply stores. My preference is to use slim gold or silver foil cake rounds, rather than corrugated rounds, because they require less decorative piping to hide the sides.
