Ateco Revolving Cake Stand, 12-inch, Plastic

A turntable lets you hold the spatula still and turn the cake, which is how decorators get smooth sides and even borders. The 610 is Ateco’s lightweight model, made in the USA from ABS plastic, and it suits home bakers, students and anyone who moves a turntable in and out of a cupboard.

Built-In Guidelines

Concentric circles printed on the top help center the cake board. An off-center cake wobbles as it turns, which makes smoothing harder. A non-slip pad keeps the base in place on the counter, and the top lifts off the base for washing.

The 610 is the lightest and lowest of the three. The metal stands are heavier, sit higher and are built for daily use in a bakery and for heavy, tiered cakes.
