A DIY cake stand can be made by gluing an inverted mug to an upside-down dinner plate to hold cakes securely.
I like to fold the bag over my hand as I fill it with frosting and I press everything down towards the tip as I am filling. This gives more control over the bag and allows her to apply pressure and remove the air.
That tapered top is perfect for decorating cakes, and the bottle is a firmer, easier vessel to squeeze and manipulate mess-free than a pastry bag. We love repurposing various kitchen items - it keeps waste out of landfills and also helps us avoid unnecessary spending. This hack in particular is a win-win: Enjoy your favorite condiments, then sustainably reuse their bottles, and allow those bottles to help you harness your inner pastry chef and decorate cakes like a pro.
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.
