1 x set (of 2) octagon cake shape guides
Wash your guides in warm soapy water. They are not dishwasher safe. Avoid boiling water as the guides will warp out of shape.
- Cover the guides in cling wrap or use baking paper in between the guides and the icing. This makes them easy to remove at the end.
- Align the guides with your scraper and then pop into the fridge to set. This way when you are icing you will have a symmetrical shape. When using buttercream you will need to do this several times throughout the process as it returns to room temp.
- Once finished place the whole cake in the fridge to set before trying to remove the guides. This way the icing will be set and they will come off easier.
- You can use buttercream or ganache with the guides, however, we highly recommend ganache as once set, it stays set without refrigeration.
