How to Decorate a Cake by Spinning

Wedding cakes are often decorated on turntables.

Decorating a cake can be time consuming. The decorator of a cake must move around the cake in order to decorate it properly as it is very difficult to decorate an entire cake by facing only one side. A cake turntable solves the problem of moving around a cake by allowing the cake to be spun while decorations are placed on it. This time saving technique is used in bakeries to speed up production time and to ensure the proper placement of decorations. Does this Spark an idea?
