Do cake decorating turntables really help? If so can anyone recommend one under £20 that can be purchased in the UK? I bake and decorate as a hobby for friends and family so it's not something I'll be using professionally. Thanks

I couldn't imagine trying to ice a cake without a turntable. Mine is a really cheap one - nothing great - but I'd be lost without it. Global Sugar Art has some inexpensive ones (about 9 gbp and 5 gbp), and I'm pretty sure they ship internationally.

HTH!

I find my turntable invaluable so would recommend you invest in one, however they CAN be expensive here in the UK. I have heard some people have purchased a 'Lazy Susan' very cheap from Ikea and it does the job great.

Lazy Susan.
Cheers!

I wouldn't even try to ice or decorate a cake without my turntable!! Do you have an IKEA store nearby? I know some decorators use their lazy susan, and it's very affordable.

I have never decorated a cake with a turntable - but if someone bought one for me i'd give it a try! lol

I "tried" to decorate my cake when I did not have my turntable with me & it was so incredibly frustrating. I'm sure a lazy susan would work if they're too expensive where you are.

I LOVE my turntable. It's a turntable delux. One side is for a half sheet cake and the other side has a round base. It rotates regardless of which side you use.

Thanks so much for the help. Am heading out to IKEA as soon as possible

Do you all have turntables that are on pedestals? Mine is low and I sit it on top of a cake pan to give it more height. I was wondering if anyone else has other ideas to give it more height?
