Wilton's Tilting Turntable -- Is It Worth The $$$???
Decorating By tobycat Updated 24 Jul 2006 , 9:55pm by tobycat
Was at Michael's (AGAIN!), with the goal of purchasing only the thing I needed -- another decorating box, when I saw it...the tilting turntable. 
Unfortunately, I had that new 50% off coupon! So, what was I to do? I bought it of course! 
Now that I have it home, I'm just not sure. Haven't tried it yet, but was wondering if anyone here has it and if it's worth it??
TIA -- Sarah
I bought mine with the 50% off coupon and have used it several times - I'm still not sure!! One thing I don't like about it, it the top lifts right off. There should be a locking mechinism. I've tried tilting it to decorate a cake and the cake wanted to slid off - don't know if I did something wrong or not. I've read in a forum that some people like Ateco's but by then I had bought Wiltons!
If you are referring to the one with the black slip resistant top, it is absolutely worth the money. I haven't decorated a cake without it since I bought it a year ago. I have even decorated a cake tilted over as far as it would go without the cake slipping. It is GREAT!!!!! 
I have one and have used it a couple of times. The first time was great for basketweave. The 2nd time I almost lost my cake! The board stayed planted on the non slip surface, but my cake started sliding off of the cake board!! IT was close, but I managed to save it! I guess I like it still, but I am just going to be more careful about how far I tilt it from now on.
I've had mine a couple of years now and I use it all the time. I also dont like the top coming off I agree it should lock, the tilting feature works well when I use it, however when I can afford to I will get a different one, as this one does not spin well and it wobles when using with large cakes.
For the price I paid, I like it. I also bought it at Michael's with a 50% off coupon. Like others, I don't like how the top just lifts off. I have used the tilt feature. It definitely makes if much easier when doing the basketweave. But, I too almost lost a cake. The board stayed but, the cake slid. 
I forgot to "glue" the cake to the board with bc. 
I saved it though. 
With the coupon, I think it is a good buy, but definitely not at full price!
Thanks for all the opinions everyone! I will always remember to glue the cake down though! I, too, wondered about the top coming off. It would seem to make more sense to have a locking mechanism. And, I thought it seemed a little wobbly. But, I think I'll try it and give it a shot. At 1/2 the price, it might not be that bad. I'll check out Ateco's. I wonder how much they want?
Thanks again! THis is the best site!
