How Much Bigger Should A Cake Board Be Than The Cake?

Actually, when acting as a cake board, you should allow about 2 "to 4" gaps on each side of the cake. So, your cake should be more than 4 "- 8" than your cake. And for cake drums between layers, they should be the same as the cake. It is important to use the appropriate size of the cake boards and cake boxes. We have a large number of professional-quality cake boards and cake boxes, they are an indispensable part of your cake. They increase the design, which is important to ensure that the cake is not damaged during storage or transport.

So what size cake board do i need?

There is no fixed rule for what size of the cake you need. All this depends on the style, shape, size and weight of the cake. Sometimes the cake plate can be part of the cake characteristics or design, while others are purely practical, used as the base of the cake. The cake board is also very suitable for support, which can help get a professional look, especially if this is your business.

Which aspect is selected for the appropriate cake board?

Measure

The first one may be the most obvious step to know the size cake you are making. Find out the tin can you are using to bake, if you are not sure, get a tape measure and measure it. As a basic guide, your cake is required to be 4 to 8 inches than the diameter of the cake.

Design

You may want to consider adding lettering or decoration on the cake board. If so, it is best to choose a slightly larger a little bit of a little bigger than originally suggested to leave space for them. It is worth remember that the cake is not necessarily placed on the board. You can shift them on squares and circular cakes (near the back of the board), leave more space in front for lettering.

Cake type

Sponge cake is usually relatively light, so we recommend using thinner cake plates (thickness of 3mm) to avoid affecting the cake itself. It is best to choose a MDF board than the sponge, or if it is a novel or irregular shape of the cake, it may even be more.

Fruit cakes may be heavy, reach a few kilograms. In this case, it is best to use a cake drum because they provide higher stability to such dense baking. Similarly, you need to choose a cake drum that is 2 to 3 inches than the baking pan (recommended Masonite Cake Board), but it is equally important to consider how to freeze it for it.

For example, traditional wedding cakes typically cover a layer of almond sugar, then a good roll of soft candy or royal sugar, so a larger cake will leave more space for this double-layer cover. Decoration on the wedding cake is usually very refined. In this case, a larger cake drum will ensure that any complex adds of the side or bottom edge will not slip or hit down.

Layered cake

If you are making a layered cake, display multiple different cakes as one, then the size will depend on the look you want.

Usually hierarchical cakes will appear directly on the edge of the board to cover it, in which case, please purchase the same size of the same size as your can. They are typically slightly larger to allow the icing layer.

If you want your board to visible or for decoration, please consistent with the dimensional differences of each layer. For example, for a 3-layer cake with 6, 8 and 10 inch cakes, we recommend using 8, 10 and 12-inch plates, so that each plate is 2 inches than each piece of cake.
