From Lakeland to Hobbycraft, from Amazon to Wayfair, here are the best cake turntables to buy online for 2023.
A cake turntable is one of the best cake decorating tools (opens in new tab). It’s helpful when icing cakes because you can rotate the cake whilst decorating. This means when you're spreading icing on the side, or piping a design on the cake you'll have a much smoother coverage avoiding imperfections. It’s a great tool for ensuring even the easiest cake decorating ideas (opens in new tab) are executed perfectly.
Wedding cake designer and Bake Off: The Professionals contestant, Keiron George (opens in new tab), suggests choosing a sturdy, heavy cake turntable as this will give more stability; “If you can source a metal one, that’s what I would recommend, especially when it comes to making heavier cakes. Not only will a heavy-duty turntable be better for icing large cakes, but if you are regularly decorating cakes it will also last well.”
“Choose a model that rotates smoothly and easily as you don’t want a wobbly movement that could cause the icing to be uneven. Consider the height. The turntable should elevate the cake to a height that it’s comfortable to decorate it at. Consider your height and where you enjoy working. If you prefer to decorate cakes sat at the kitchen table, for example, then choose a lower model.”
