on the show amazing wedding cakes i saw them using round cutters on cakes.they cut, stacked and filled their cakes to give them the perfect round shape . they also used them for cutting rolled fondant to cover 100 mini cakes. does anyone know who sells these big round cutters?

Just use tin cans with the thick top edge removed or hard plastic storage containers with straight sides . I have a set that are 6", 5", 4", 3", 2", 1". They cost me nothing.

I didn't watch the episode but I'm guessing you are talking about baking rings. This website sells it: http://cooksdream.com/store/bk.html

I'm pretty sure you can find those cheaper somewhere else but they have great customer service.

They called cake rings (just google them). You can bake in them, mold in them, build a cake in them, use them as cutters or guides... I have them in a variety of shapes and sizes... I can't work without them!

thank you for your help

Wait a minute... I didn't see that episode and I'm having trouble picturing it. You mean they baked the layers in pans, as usual, then used these cake ring thingies to cut a perfect round out of the layer?

If so, why? did it give them perfectly straight sides (which would be reason enough!)?

If that's not what you mean, please give more details - I want to know!

Thanks!

Cool!! New ideas crowding the brain as we speak...

Thanks for the information!
