Frequently asked questions
Is a cake board necessary?
Yes, cake boards are essential if you run a cake decorating business or bakery as they are designed to provide vital structural integrity to your sensational sponges. As well as providing much-needed support to the base of the cake (which helps to prevent the cake box from bending under its weight), the cake board also creates an edge with which the cake can be easily picked up and moved.
What is the difference between a cake board and cake drum?
Put simply, a cake board is typically used to create a stable base for a single-layer celebration cake and is therefore designed to sit at the bottom of your cakes. Cake drums, however, are designed to be placed in between cake layers of more substantial creations (like wedding cakes) to provide stability and strength. Stronger and thicker than cake boards, cake drums are ideal for supporting heavy, multi-tiered cakes.
Which size cake board do I need?
To ensure the cake can be easily lifted and decorated, it’s important to use a cake board with enough clearance around the circumference. As a result, the cake board base should have between 2 and 4-inches either side of the cake, meaning the board should be at least 4-inches larger than the cake circumference. Cake drums, on the other hand, should be the same size as the cake circumference as they are stronger and used between layers.
