The only thing more challenging than baking a cake from scratch is decorating one. Making a cake look even remotely Instagram-worthy takes a lot of skill and even more practice. There are some tools of the trade that make it easier, not the least of which is a revolving cake stand. 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. 'The microwave plate really does work. I guess I don't need to invest in a lazy Susan — I already had one in my microwave.' The issue of transferring the cake to a plate did arise once Glo was done icing it, but one TikTok user dropped another brilliant hack in the comments to solve this issue. 'Wait! Put the cake on the plate you're going to use next time and then just place it all on the microwave plate instead!' That is pure genius right there!So the next time you're making a cake at home, be it from scratch or from a boxed cake mix, give the old microwave tray trick a try!
