Does the cakeplate become a divided tray when flipped over for veggies or chips and dip?

The answer is yes and when the dome lid is turned upside down and put into the "dip" part, it becomes a beautiful punch bowl. I am so proud of my cakeplate and cover--it will probably become a heirloom in the family.

It has two sides, one is for waffles and the other is for pancakes. The plate don't come off so be sure you use a non-stick spray to make then easier to clean.

Grease pan prior to filling, once cake has cooled cover cake with a plate and flip. Cake should come right out ;-)

You don't dice with it - not that I have figured out. Everything is vertical - so you can Julienne with it - but dicing would be (pardon the pun) dicey.

It does but only on one side. My cutting board was slightly warped such that you wouldn't notice it by looks but when you flip it groove side up it slides around since the rubber "feet" on the corners aren't all touching and the center plastic portion of the opposite side is in contact with the surface with your table or counter. This is probably just a manufacturing defect but something to consider if it may be an annoyances it's better to pick it up when you first receive the product.

No, the poles connect to the top and bottom of each plate except for the top and bottom plate. We have lots of parties with cupcakes so mine gets used lots. Love it!!!

It does rotate. It would depend on the size of the custard bowl. You could probably get a standard cupcake in there because you can manipulate it a bit in order to fit but I couldn't get a cupcake with icing in there without messing up the icing- the icing was too tall to accommodate. Since you can't manipulate ceramic, it would have to be the perfect size to tilt it to set it in there.

Yes--there's a clamp that releases and the bottom of the pan detaches. You can put icing on the sides. I was nervous about the process but the pan comes apart easily without disturbing the cake.

It does drip on the layer below but I put the most bland item on the top layer and others on the bottom. Example: Potatoes, cauliflower on top, broccoli, onions, carrots etc on the bottom tray. I don't notice any flavor transfer because the steam doesn't take much out of the vegies. I don't know about meat. I am a vegetarian.

Possibly. The cake plate part is shaped like a bowl, as long as there isn't too much liquid.

No. It is mostly flat, but there is a slight edge to it, which is useful to keep whatever on the plate.

NO. The bottom rotates because if it didn't it would be heated up too much in one place and warp. That is mentioned in the instructions, and they also say to allow the heating element to cool down for a minute before stopping the platter, or it could warp.

Hahaha... the base sits, but your cake might still slide off after you eat half of it. The product isn't heavy enough to support the weight of half or quarter of a cake. My stand fell over after we served up half.

You can arrange them any way that you would like; however, I misunderstood thinking that the plates that the cakes sit on were also various sizes ( 10',9", 8" and 6") but they are mostly 8" with only 2/ 6" and 1/14 inch that sits on the table. I filled them with colored stones to make them more stable. I didn't trust them without some weight in them; cakes are heavy! If you go to my facebook page SweetCakes and CheeseCakes I have pictures from a wedding that I did this past weekend.

I personally have not had this problem. We make our pancake at least once a week on ours and no problem with them cooking uneven. We have also put it griddle in different locations.

yes, the sides are straight... they do not angle out (I assume that's what you're asking, correct?) They're a little shallow for what I'm used to but other than that, should be great for layered cakes!

Yes, the sides seem to be perfectly straight, and the top edge has a small rolled lip which is maybe about 1/4 inch. The pan is sturdy and doesn't have any "give" or bend to it. After you invert the baked cake layer, the top edges are "sort of" rounded, as compared to some cheaper pans which are usually squared off, so it doesn't seem to crumble quite as much when I put on the frosting. I love these.
