Cake Plate Dilemma!

I'd put the whole thing in the freezer for a few minutes, then try. What a terrible thing, though.

Toilet plunger? If it gets stuck, it'll still be a great conversation piece :o)

Dribble some dish soap along the edge of the plate first and let it seep down into the cake cover. Let us know how it goes :o)

on the

size

tightly

in hot

Use air compressor air jet nozzle to blow air into the crack between the plate and the dome. Or, you could try a blaster nozzle on a garden hose. Pressurize the inside a bit and it'll probably pop right out.

Perhaps a bit of penetrating oil to lube it up a bit? The drawback to this might be that it might seal any air gap so vacuum will work against you. Think carefully about this aspect before you try this.

Sounds like a Stormin Mormin troll , I suggest a 12 gauge shougun with 00 shot [ lessen the chance of eating shot]

One of those auto dent pullers that looks like a suction cup. Bought them for $2 at Harbor freight so we could handle some plate mirrors. Place cup on plate, squeeze handle to make it suck up to the plate. Now you have a handle. Rex in Fort Worth
