Enero® Piece of Cake Kit Quick Start Instruction Guide
We’re currently uploading a step-by-step video walkthrough.
In the meantime, follow the printed guide included with your kit, and shown below!
Get smooth, professional cake edges using a simple process:
Build → Chill → Fill → Chill → Peel
PART 1 - Build & Chill Your Cake
Step 1 - Prep Your Cake
-
Start with a chilled cake
-
Trim layers flat on top and bottom
-
Use the Acrylic Base as your size guide
-
Adjust the Stainless Ring slightly smaller than the base
-
Cut the cake layers using the Stainless Ring (i.e. for a 10-inch cake cut the layers down to 9 ¾-inch diameter)
Step 2 - Set Up the Ring
-
Place the Forming Sheet inside the Stainless Ring
-
Set both on top of the Acrylic Base
Step 3 - Stack the Cake
-
Add a generous amount of frosting to the base (acts as glue)
-
Place first cake layer and press lightly, but firmly
-
Add frosting, then next layer
-
Repeat until desired height
👉 Stop at least ¾ inch below the top of the Forming Sheet
👉 Do NOT frost the top yet
Step 4 - Chill to Set
-
Refrigerate 30+ minutes
(or freeze ~15 minutes)
This keeps everything stable for the next step.
Step 5 - Remove the Ring
-
Remove the Stainless Ring
-
Gently peel off the Forming Sheet
-
Wash and save the Forming Sheet as you’ll use it again
PART 2 - Create the Smooth Outer Finish
Step 6 - Elevate the Cake
-
Place the Acrylic Mold on your work surface
-
Set a tall, narrow object in the center (glass, tumbler, etc.)
-
Place your cake (still on the base) on top of it
Step 7 - Insert the Liner
-
Wrap the Forming Sheet inside the Acrylic Mold
-
Ensure it sits flat at the bottom
-
The overlap tab should remain accessible at the top
Step 8 - Position the Cake
-
Raise the Acrylic Mold until it catches the Base with the cake
-
Remove the support (glass/tumbler)
-
Secure the liner tab
👉 You should now have an even gap between cake and liner
PART 3 - Fill, Chill, Reveal
Step 9 - Fill the Gap
-
Pipe or pour frosting into the space around the cake
-
Fully cover sides and top
Step 10 - Remove Air Pockets
-
Gently tap the mold on the counter
-
This helps level the frosting and remove bubbles
Step 11 - Chill Again
-
Refrigerate 3–4 hours (or overnight)
-
OR freeze 30–60 minutes max
Step 12 - Remove the Mold
-
Place cake back on a tall object
-
Pull the Acrylic Mold downward to release
-
Unclip and slowly peel off the liner
👉 If it sticks, chill longer
Step 13 - Final Touches
-
Use the Icing Scraper to smooth seams
-
Fill any gaps and smooth again if needed
Step 14 - Decorate & Finish
-
Use piping tips for designs
-
Add textures or patterns with the scraper
👉 Your cake is now ready to serve or decorate further
🔧 Troubleshooting
Liner sticks to cake
→ Not chilled long enough
Air gaps or holes
→ Tap more before chilling / refill and smooth
Uneven sides
→ Frosting too thick or unevenly applied
