FAQs

What materials can I use with The Pro Froster?

The Pro Froster is ideal for frosting with royal icing, buttercream, ganache, fresh cream, and other smooth frosting mediums.

Can I use The Pro Froster on square cakes?

Yes, The Pro Froster is designed to work on both round and square cake tiers, ensuring crisp and clean edges for either shape.

What is the maximum cake height The Pro Froster can handle?

The Pro Froster can frost cakes up to 8 inches high, making it suitable for larger tiers and double-barrelled cakes.

How do I assemble The Pro Froster?

Assembly involves sliding the Riser onto the Bar from the top. Widen the Riser's gap with your thumb, slide it onto the Bar, and allow it to snap into place at the desired height. Ensure the Bar fits into the Riser's groove.

How should I clean The Pro Froster?

The Pro Froster is made from durable, FDA plastic and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

What should I avoid when using The Pro Froster?

It is advised to use a silicone or plastic, non-abrasive spatula to remove excess buttercream to avoid damaging the tool. Always slide the Riser onto the Bar from the top.

Is there a trick to getting perfect edges?

Yes, hold the scraper flat and tight at the base, parallel to the cake board, and avoid pushing towards the cake. Steady turntable rotation is key. Remember there's a learning curve, and consistency improves with practice.

Troubleshooting

Tool won't slide onto the cake smoothly

Ensure the Riser is slid onto the Bar from the top only, and that the gap is sufficiently widened with your thumb. Also, check that the cake has an even crumb coat and enough frosting applied.

Frosting is not smooth or has lines

Ensure the scraper is held flat and tight at the base against the cake board. Rotate the turntable slowly and steadily. Apply frosting evenly to the cake before scraping. Practice your grip and pressure.

Edges are not sharp

Make sure the Riser is securely locked into place at the correct height. Hold the scraper firmly against the cake board throughout the rotation. A final light pass with an offset spatula can help refine the top edge.

Tool feels unstable or wobbly

Ensure the Bar is correctly seated in the Riser's groove. Hold the scraper with firm, consistent pressure at the base throughout the turntable's rotation. Avoid pushing the scraper towards the cake; keep it parallel to the cake board.
