I've used the Wilton one and pretty much hate it. PME makes one, but I can't tell from the picture if it's any better. Are there any others out there that are solidly built, and easy and secure to use?

I agree with the Wilton ones. I have the plastic and the heavy duty. I just got the Fat Daddio last week and it is far superior to the Wilton heavy duty. It spins effortlessly and evenly (the Wilton one wobbles from side to side). It's very solid and doesn't move on the counter top. If want it to tilt I just place something under one side of it.

Why do you even want a tilting turntable? Just out of curiosity.

Leah--I'm hoping it would help with stringwork. Once I started working with fondant it seems that I did almost no piping, so my piping skills--which weren't well-developed to begin with--are now very rusty. I bet I haven't even made a rose in over two years.

You can just shove something (I use a bench scraper) under one edge of the cake to tilt it up.
