Acrylic Disks
How do I know what size to buy?
Measure a baked and cooled cake instead of going by your cake pan size. Cakes tend to shrink when baked.
If you are making a buttercream or ganache cake, add .5 inch to your cake's measurement.
If you are making a fondant cake or prefer a thin layer of buttercream, add .25 inch to your cake's measurement.
Ex: Your cake that was baked in a 6 inch cake pan measures 5.5 inches after it has cooled. If you are making a buttercream cake, add .5 to 5.5, you get 6. So you will purchase 6.00 inch Acrylic Disks!
Email [email protected] if you would like custom sized disks or if you have questions. You can also call/text 401-378-8766
How do I clean Acrylic Disks?
The best way to care for your Acrylic Disks is handwashing them with soap and water. DO NOT use anti-bacterial soap on them as they will turn cloudy over time.
The disks will work just as well if they're cloudy and unfortunately, there is no way to remove the cloudiness.
If you put your Acrylic Disks in the dishwasher make sure to DISABLE the heated dry cycle. The heat will warp the disks.
Are Acrylic Disks and Icing Scrapers food safe?
The acrylic material we use for our products is food-safe.
Use our handy clear acrylic Icing Scrapers with Acrylic Disks for a beautiful result. The ability to see what is happening on the other side of your Icing Scraper is very helpful. We even offer Cake Combs made from clear acrylic.
Our Cake Combs and Icing Scrapers can be used without Acrylic Disks too!
CakeSafe Boxes
What is a CakeSafe?
The CakeSafe is a transportation system for moving cakes, large and small. Your cakes are protected from heat, rain, wind, 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 and never have to worry that your cake willl melt, shift, fall, or be damaged in any way. REALLY!
CakeSafe Boxes are reusable and can last for decades. CakeSafe co-owner Juli delivered over 1,000 cakes in the same 3 CakeSafes over 25 years.
How does it work?
The durable materials used to create the CakeSafe, and the way it's constructed, make for years of stress-free deliveries.
The 3/8" thick, food grade, stainless steel center dowel runs through your cake, cardboard between tiers, and cake drum. With your cake in the CakeSafe box, the rod runs from the top of the box, through your cake, and into the bottom base of the box. This keeps your cake secure and safe from bumps, tipping, and slammed brakes.
The sides are double-walled which insulates the cake from heat. When the CakeSafe is fully assembled, your cake is nearly impervious to all outside conditions.
Do I need to assemble my cakes differently?
DOWELS:
Use perimeter dowels but leave out your center dowel. The CakeSafe's center rod replaces your center dowel. The only time a cake needs a center dowel is when it's being moved. Once you remove your cake from the CakeSafe at the venue you can slide a center dowel into the small hole left by the CakeSafe's rod. This is not necessary, but can provide peace of mind, especially if the cake is displayed on the dance floor or in a high traffic area.
CAKE BOARDS & BASES:
It is important for the CakeSafe's center rod to make its own hole through your cake boards. That's what keeps your cake so stable!
Cake Boards Between Tiers - If you are using cardboard or foam core cake boards, do not put holes in them ahead of time. The center rod will go through them easily. If your cake boards are coated in plastic or are made from a material that a fork cannot pierce through, please make 2 inch holes in your cake boards. If you are making holes, you will need to add cardboard or foam core cake boards between your cake and the boards you made the holes in. This is so the CakeSafe rod will have something to make it's own hole in for stability.
Cake Drums / Bases - If your cake drums are 1/2 inch thick or thinner and made from a material that a fork can pierce through, do not make a hole ahead of time. If your cake drums are made from a material that a fork cannot pierce through (wood, metal, plastic) you will need to make a 2 inch hole in them ahead of time and place a cardboard or foam core cake board between your cake and the drum/base with the premade hole.
Email us at [email protected] if you have any questions!
What size should I buy?
The CakeSafe comes in 11 sizes so that we can accommodate all our bakers’ needs. Take into account these factors to determine the best size for you:
1. How tall are each of your tiers?
2. How many tiers do you have? Multiply the number of tiers by the height of each tier.
3. Are your tiers stacked or is there space between the tiers?
4. How thick is your cake base?
5. How wide is your cake base?
The first 4 measurements will give you the minimum height you need your CakeSafe to be. The 5th measurement will give you the minimum width you need your CakeSafe to be.
Ex: 3 tiers x’s 6 inches per tier = 18 inches
Then add one inch or more to account for your cake boards & base.
You will need a CakeSafe with an internal height of at least 19 inches.
The most important information to consider when deciding which CakeSafe to purchase is what the dimensions are. These dimensions are clearly indicated on each product page as well as on the chart in each image gallery.
Does the CakeSafe keep cakes cold?
Each of the 4 walls of the CakeSafe is double-walled, using a similar material used to keep greenhouses insulated. We’ve done extensive tests, and a cake that was refrigerated overnight will be kept cool for many hours in the CakeSafe. Cakes should not be frozen for use in a CakeSafe, and you should not put ice or dry ice inside your CakeSafe. If you have a delivery that will span multiple days, email [email protected] to talk about how best to use a CakeSafe.
If your drive is less than 1 hour, let the cake warm up a tad outside of the refrigerator (10 to 20 mins) before putting it in the CakeSafe. This is because the CakeSafe keeps cakes surprisingly cold, and you don’t want guests to be munching on a cold cake at the venue!
What about the hole left in the cake?
The only visible hole left in the cake is on the top and is about the size of your pinky finger - 3/8th inch. It is easily covered with either a cake topper or a dab of frosting.
For fondant cakes you can easily make the hole disappear within a piece of fondant or fondant gunge.
What about styrofoam dummy tiers?
The CakeSafe works extremely well for Display or Competition cakes, or cakes with a combination of real and dummy tiers. Whenever you're using the CakeSafe with dummy layers/tiers, you need to put a large enough hole through the middle of the Styrofoam dummy so that the 3/8” center rod will slide through it easily. We've found the best method for this is using a hand held apple corer. The hole can be anywhere from ½” to 2” wide. A very sharp knife will work, but it's a little messy. Cake dummies are available with the hole already drilled at GuildCraftFoam.com
Once you've made the hole, attach a cardboard disk to the bottom for the dummy tier WITHOUT making a hole in it.
Very important; NO HOLE IN THE CARDBOARD. The reason is, you want the CakeSafe center rod to have to make it's own hole through the cardboard just as if it were a real cake tier. The snug fit of the rod through the cardboard is what holds all the tiers so securely!
You can attach the cardboard to the bottom of the dummy using a heat glue gun, double sided tape, royal icing, regular icing, anything that will hold it in place until you assemble the cake. Then just like a real cake, everything will stay "put" in place.
Why is the CakeSafe so expensive?
We spent years developing and patenting the absolute best cake transportation system on the market. Every material was meticulously chosen to be rugged, but also lightweight. CakeSafe Boxes are made in our USA headquarters so we can assure the highest quality is upheld in every step of the manufacturing process. We make them to last!
CakeSafe boxes are an investment, but will save you money over time since they are nearly endlessly reusable. Our customers say that their CakeSafe boxes are typically paid off with 2 cake orders.
When you compare the price of disposable cardboard cake boxes with the price of one CakeSafe Box, the savings add up quickly. After 100 cake deliveries a CakeSafe will have saved you over $1,000 compared to buying a cardboard box each time. Like a stand mixer, a CakeSafe is a necessary piece of equipment for the efficiency of your baking business, and will pay for itself quickly.

Spray Booths
What are Spray Booths?
Spray Booths keep your lungs healthy and your kitchen clean. They eliminate 99% of overspray from airbrushing, petal dusting, or spraying cocoa butter.
We offer 2 main models - Artisan Spray Booths and Master Spray Booths. Both models come in a variety of sizes and are modular, so you can make the units larger or smaller by adding or removing fan boxes.
The Artisan Spray Booth works with airbrush color and petal dust. The Master Spray Booth features a higher powered fan so it can handle the overspray generated when spraying cocoa butter, oils, or eggwash.
All of our Spray Booths do not need external ventilation. Simply turn the booth on and spray away! Clean air vents out of the back of the fan box.
How often do I need to change the filters?
If you're using your Spray Booth on a daily basis, spraying for several hours each day, the internal Merv 8 and Merv 13 filters can last between 3 and 6 months. How often you spray greatly affects how often you’ll need to change the filters.
You will know it is time to change the filters if there seems to be an increasing amount of build-up of overspray on the sides of the booth.
The Washable Filter can be washed and reused continuously if you’re spraying color.
Our Master Spray Booth models have an additional disposable pre-filter that should always be used when spraying cocoa butter or oils. Our handy Disposable Filter Dispenser Roll makes it easy to replace the Disposable Filters in seconds.
Can I use your Spray Booths with cocoa butter, oils, or egg wash?
You need the Master Spray Booth. Our Artisan Spray Booth will not work with chocolate or cocoa butter, but we specifically created our Master Spray Booth for those spraying chocolate, cocoa butter, oils, or egg wash. And of course the Master Spray Booth will work well when spraying Airbrush Color and using Petal Dust. We have many customers who spray cocoa butter for chocolate molds and also cover whole cakes with cocoa butter. The Disposable Pre-Filters are an added feature with the Master Spray Booth, in addition to the much higher powered fan.
Are there materials I should not use with my Spray Booth?
Yes, the Spray Booth fan is not explosion proof and is not adequate for spraying flammable products. Any medium that is considered NON-flammable is fine to use with the CakeSafe Spray Booth.
