Cake Turntable, Ohuhu Aluminium 12 Inch Cake Decorating Kit Supplies Rotating Stand Revolving Spinner with 2 Icing Spatula 3 Comb Smoother Review (2026)

Who this turntable suits

This Ohuhu set targets home bakers and hobbyists who decorate more than one or two cakes a year and want a turntable plus starter tools in one box, rather than buying a bare stand and shopping for spatulas separately. The 12 inch aluminium top comfortably holds a standard two layer round cake, and the kit format appeals to anyone building a first decorating toolkit for birthdays, holidays or a small home bakery. It is less suited to buyers who already own quality spatulas and only need a stand, since the bundled tools add cost you may not use. Wedding cake professionals working large tiered orders daily will likely outgrow the entry level spatulas faster than hobby bakers, but for regular home use the combination covers the basics well.

Turntable design and included tools

The stand uses a heavy duty aluminium turntable riding on a stainless steel bearing, which Ohuhu says gives smooth, silent rotation in either direction so both left and right handed decorators can work naturally. A 7.3 inch base with a rubber pad grips the counter, while the anti-slip top surface keeps the cake from sliding as you turn it. The kit adds 2 stainless steel icing spatulas, one straight and one offset, for spreading and smoothing buttercream at different angles, plus 3 food grade plastic comb smoothers that cut ridged or striped patterns into the icing as the cake spins beneath them. Together the pieces cover turning, spreading and texturing without needing extra purchases for a first project.

Setting it up and keeping it clean

There is no assembly beyond unboxing: set the stand on a flat counter, center the cake board, and start spinning. The bidirectional bearing means you can nudge the cake either way while holding a spatula steady, which is the basic technique for a smooth buttercream coat. Because the top is bare aluminium rather than a coated finish, wiping it down with a damp cloth after use is normally enough, though metal spatula edges and the comb smoothers can leave fine scratches over time if dragged across the surface with pressure. Hand washing the spatulas and smoothers rather than running them through a dishwasher will keep their edges cleaner for texture work, and storing the set together avoids losing the smaller comb pieces.

How it stacks up against other turntables

Against the similarly scored Kootek Aluminium Cake Turntable Set, this Ohuhu kit follows the same formula of an aluminium turntable bundled with spatulas and smoothers, so the choice mostly comes down to which spatula sizes and smoother patterns you prefer. The Ateco 615, a bakery grade aluminium stand with a heavier base and no included tools, sits close in score but suits buyers who already own their spatulas and want a sturdier, more classic turntable rather than a bundle. Kootek's 11 inch model and the Evwoge ball bearing stand are lighter weight alternatives worth checking if counter space or budget is tighter. This kit earns its place by including usable starter tools rather than asking you to buy a stand and accessories separately.

Bottom line

For a home baker who wants one purchase that covers turning, spreading and basic texture work, this Ohuhu turntable kit delivers a smooth spinning stand and a reasonable set of starter tools at a fair value. Choose something else if you already own quality spatulas and only need a bare stand, in which case the Ateco 615 or a plain aluminium turntable is the better spend, or if you want a heavier professional grade base for frequent large tiered cakes. Bakers who treat the aluminium top carefully and hand wash the metal tools will get the longest life from this set.
