Know before you buy
The turntable features a precision-machined pivot and bearing system designed specifically for consistent, fluid rotation. This allows you to apply icing and piping without any jerky movements or resistance.
Yes, the base is constructed from heavy cast iron. This provides a low center of gravity and significant weight, which keeps the turntable firmly in place on your countertop while you decorate.
The aluminum top measures 12 inches in diameter. It is perfectly sized for standard round cakes, though you can easily decorate larger cakes by placing them on a cake board that is slightly larger than the turntable surface.
The aluminum top and enameled base should be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the unit in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can interfere with the internal bearing mechanism.
Absolutely. The combination of an aluminum alloy top and a cast iron base makes this a professional-grade tool built for durability and longevity, even in a high-volume kitchen environment.
