Hello, I saw you on the Early Show this morning and saw how you decorated the round cake and saw that you used a piece of transparent plastic sheet. What was that sheet and where can I get one? I have lots of cake decorating tools and do a little cake decorating myself but I have never seen something so cool to smooth the top of a round cake. Please tell me where I can get such a sheet?
The plastic sheets you mentioned are referred to as acetate cake collars, acetate rolls, or acetate cake wraps. Pastry professionals use them to wrap around mousse cakes and pastries to keep them fresh. You can find them at baking supply stores or on the web from various sites. I've linked to a couple of sites below. As I mentioned on air, you can also use cellophane sheets cut to approximately 2" by 10" or strips of standard white printer paper. In a pinch I've even used wrapping - any thing that is flexible and will conform to the sides of a curved cake.
