A 3mm acrylic ganache board is a specialized tool used in cake decorating, particularly for achieving sharp edges in different shapes when applying ganache or buttercream to cakes. The 3mm thickness of the acrylic makes it durable and rigid, allowing you to smooth the edges of a cake while maintaining precise angles and sharp lines, which is crucial for modern, clean cake designs.
The way it works is that you place the cake on the acrylic board and apply ganache or buttercream to the sides of the cake. Then, using the board as a guide, you scrape off the excess icing with Omkraft straight Scrapper. This ensures the edges are straight, smooth, and have the perfect sharpness, which is a signature look in contemporary cake designs.
The acrylic board is a flat, smooth surface, so it also helps with leveling and preventing the icing from sticking too much to the board. After ganaching the cake, it can also be used for chilling or setting the cake in place.
If you’re going for a sleek, professional finish on your cakes, this tool is a must-have. Are you planning to use it for a specific cake project, or are you just getting into the sharp-edge technique?
