"But you may not always have a cake stand handy. Or you may be trying your hand at cake decorating for the first time and you're not quite ready to invest in one. Or you may live in a small apartment with nowhere to store one! Fortunately, there is one item that is already in almost every household that can totally get the job done in a pinch: your microwave tray."
"In a video recently posted to TikTok, Glo, the creator behind the account @_gloyoyo_, shared that if you don't have a rotating cake stand or lazy Susan, all you have to do is use the tray inside your microwave to rotate your cake while icing it. She tried for the first time in the video and was surprised by the outcome. "Look at that!" she says."
A microwave tray can serve as an effective rotating cake stand, allowing cakes to be spun while icing without a dedicated lazy Susan. This approach helps beginners, casual bakers, and those with limited storage avoid buying specialized equipment. The microwave turntable provides a steady, rotating surface that facilitates smoother frosting application and decoration. To solve the transfer problem, place the cake on the serving plate first and set the plate on the microwave tray before rotating. The method is inexpensive, widely accessible, and can produce surprisingly good decorating results with minimal extra effort.
