Affordable Acrylic Disk / Ganache Plates
Decorating By Cole11 Updated 2 Sep 2018 , 12:30pm by SandraSmiley
I am planning on buying some acrylics 6.25’, 8.25’, and 10.25. For speeds stake. Rounds and squares. I would prefer them with hole in the center so I can line them up perfectly but it’s not a must. Any suggestions? Has anyone compare pricing on sets like this with shipping included? I am aware of cakesafe is there a better deal? I’m in the U.S. FYI.
I have heard others say that you can have them cut at hardware stores, but I have not asked. I do plan to, however. I have a friend who's husband cut her's for her. Don't know what kind of saw he used.

GIGGLEBOX2014, I am so glad you mentioned Amazon! I had never thought of it and order a set of 8-1/2 inch that same day. They will be here in a couple of days and I can wait to try them!
I had mine cut at a place that sells and cuts Perspex. Much cheaper than shelf price and I only got the ones I wanted. I must say though I had mine cut at 1/4 inch larger than the tin size and it is too large, I barely use mine anymore as it uses too much ganache.
When you bake your cake, it shrinks smaller than the tin so I would actually only get the circles cut ever so slightly larger than the tin sizes that you use rather than a full 1/4 inch larger as that will give you more than 1/4 inch ganache allowance once the cake shrinks..
I did intend to get another set cut but as yet haven't done so.
I totally agree on the sizing, bubs1stbirthday. I always cut down my cake boards when frosting a cake for that very reason. I don't like a lot of frosting.
