Frequently Asked Questions

What size ganache scraper do I need?

Match your scraper height to your finished cake height. The 120mm small scraper suits 3-layer 6-inch cakes; the 180mm medium suits 4-layer 8-inch cakes; the 230mm large suits taller 4-layer 8-inch builds; and the 300mm extra large suits very tall or tiered cakes. This 180mm scraper is the most popular all-round size for standard celebration cakes.

How do I get a sharp edge with a ganache scraper?

Chill your ganache-coated cake until the surface is firm to the touch. Hold the scraper perfectly vertical against the side of the cake, press it lightly against the ganache, and pull it towards you in one smooth, continuous motion. Repeat, wiping the blade clean between each pass, until the surface is smooth and the top edge is sharp.
