Which Tool To Make These Size Rings?
Decorating By Iheartcake Updated 19 Jul 2011 , 10:12pm by ShandraB
I'm making this wedding cake in August and I'm having a hard time finding something to cut out these rings in this size. I have an 'o' cutter that is smaller, and I have the round cookie cutters from Wilton, which would be a bit bigger. I've checked the cake section and scrapbooking, as well as going to the hardware section, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Agree with leah_s - couldn't live with out the Ateco set - it has 11 sizes so you always have the one you need!

Maybe this link will help?
Ateco set it is! Thanks all.. much appreciated 
I have a set of these, but haven't had them out in a while. Maybe there is a way you can tape two together to hold the smaller circle in the same place every time?

exactly what i was just thinking. i'm going to look at my O on my little alphabet cutter to see how they did it. i wish that O was round and not so oval
I have the ateco ones, and I also have these. I've snapped two of them together to make rings.

But I haven't done that for a while, so I'm not sure about the exact size of the rings.
i actually replicated this cake for a wedding. I used the ateco rings. took a lot of them to make this cake. it did take some practice to get the centers cut out so it was centered. also a tip, i used tylose glue to stick the rings on because it's clear. you can see my version of the cake in my photos
Give this a try:

cakeyouverymuch, you're so smart!! Brilliant! Thank you! It's going to my database of tips and tricks.
Thank you. I really hope it works for you. I haven't tried it out on actual gumpaste or fondant yet, but there's no reason for it not to work. Just remember to cut OUTSIDE the larger ring and INSIDE the inner ring or you won't get a tight enough fit. Also, I'd leave your circles to dry out a bit so they don't change shape as you move them.
Alternately, and for future reference, you could try this product. It comes with a special tape that heat sets. You could make two appropriately sized rings then cut strips to hold them together.

pastrygirl.. I just looked at your photo.. it turned out perfectly! I was reading the comments and you mentioned to let them dry a bit, but not too much because they need to bend going around the cake. How long did you let them dry? I was hoping to have these circles done in advance to save on time but now I'm nervous they'll be too dry!
Ateco rings with foam tape between them - but it's a pain to clean off!
cakeyouverymuch - I can't view the picture you posted - it's giving me an error, would love to know what it was.
I was told that it was removed because it was "not a usable sketch or template and has been removed at this time."
What I did was cut a blank of foam core to the outside dimension of the fifth Ateco circle cutter, then from the center of that blank I cut a circle to the inside dimension of the third Ateco cutter. I then slid the circle over the third cutter and slid the fifth cutter over the outside, essentially making a double walled cutter separated by a foam core circle which is held in place by the rolled edge of the third cutter. Hope that is clear enough without the pictures.
