Ateco Revolving Cake Stand, 12-inch, Cast Iron

Weight is what keeps a turntable still while a large cake turns on it. The 612 pairs a cast iron base with a 1/8-inch-thick aluminum top, made in the USA, and it is the stand to choose for tiered cakes, wedding cakes and all-day use in a bakery.

Why the Base Matters

On a light stand, pressure from a bench scraper can push the whole stand across the counter. A cast iron base stays put, so both hands can stay on the work. A non-slip pad underneath adds grip, and the 5-inch height brings the cake up to a comfortable working level.

The Ateco 615 offers a similar height in a lighter aluminum stand. The Ateco 610 is the budget, lightweight choice.
