If you are going to make a very heavy cake, like fruit cake, chocolate cake, birthday cake or wedding cake, baptism cake, Christmas cake, etc., it is best to use a 12 mm cake board.These boards are thick and can give you strength and rigidity when delivering the cake.

Sponges, carrot, chocolate, upside down and pound cakes, since these cakes are lighter, you can choose to use a thinner "3 mm thick cardboard" so you won't cover the cake.For stability, choose a cake board that is at least 2 inches larger because you leave room for decoration.For multilayer cakes, you also need to keep the distance between the layer, the size difference all the way to the board will be more pleasing, and I also repeat any placed flowers and any ribbon onto the board.You can also create your cake board features by stacking the two contrasting colors together.Put one slightly bigger than the other to foil the cake design.They can also be used to create a layer in the cake.With a double-sided tape and wrapped around a matching ribbon, it becomes the focus of the cake.

How do you choose the shape of your cake

Heart, hexagonal, rectangles can be used in special shapes or novelty cakes.We have 5 size rectangular panels ranging from 10 x 13 inches all the way to 32 x 20 inches thick planks.Other checkerboard shapes, such as red hearts and hexagons, are customizable.

Choose a cake board that is at least two inches larger than the baked cake mold; considering the thickness of the almond fudge, frosting, or used to decorate the edges of the board.If you want to draw decorative elements like decorations or letters (printed paper, text, etc.) on the board, you may be better off with a larger cake board.
