Turntables and ganache boards
Manual or electric turntables and square ganache boards for icing and smoothing cakes with sharp edges.
The turntable, a basic tool
The turntable supports the cake during icing and allows you to 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 and leaves both hands free for more even smoothing on tiered cakes.
Ganache boards and plates
Square or rectangular ganache boards and plates serve as rigid templates for icing a cake with right angles rather than rounded edges. Placed against the side of the cake, the board scrapes off excess cream as the cake rotates and creates sharp edges without needing to touch them up with a spatula.
Frequently asked questions
Manual or electric turntable?
The manual model is suitable for occasional use and a tight budget. The electric model maintains a constant speed, which is useful for prolonged smoothing or regular production.
What diameter cake turntable should you choose?
Around 23 to 25 cm for most homemade cakes, 30 cm or more for tiered cakes and wedding cakes.
What is a square ganache board used for?
It serves as a rigid template for icing a cake with right angles: hold it against the side and scrape off the cream as the cake rotates.
