Why shouldn’t I buy the cheaper “ProFroster” on Amazon?

BEWARE! There are a ton of cheap counterfeits flooding the market. Simply put, counterfeit adjustable cake scrapers made to look like the ProFroster are poorly made imitations that will not give you the same results. Don’t take our word for it, baker Tracy Churchman, did a helpful comparison in the video below.

The counterfeit manufacturers cut corners to cut costs. The plastic of imposter products is flimsy and not food safe, and the product itself is a different size and shape.

When you purchase a genuine ProFroster, you’re choosing a carefully designed and patented product developed by a cake maker just like yourself. The ProFroster is manufactured in the USA, with food safe plastic with FDA approval, and by local manufacturers in California. Everything we buy is local, our packaging, our product, even our shipping materials!

Counterfeit products can be challenging to spot, often due to stolen imagery. Compare shapes and details, and remember: if it’s on Amazon or the price looks too good to be true, it’s a counterfeit product.

My ProFroster is either too tall or too short for my cake, no notch matches, what can I do?

In addition to perfect edges and easy leveling, the ProFroster is designed to give you consistent cake heights. When preparing to ice, if you find that one notch level is too short, and the next too tall — use the “too tall” notch and add extra icing on top to match the ProFroster height. If you use this method, all your cakes for a project will match in height.

What is a crumb coat?

A crumb coat your first thin layer of icing. This layer seals in crumbs and evens out divots in the cake. It’s not mean to be pretty. It’s simply creating a smooth surface for a second layer of icing. It’s important to chill your crumb-coated caked to set the icing before moving on to the next step.
