Troubleshooting
Cake appears unstable on the board.
Ensure the cake is centered on the board and that the board itself is on a flat, stable surface. For very heavy cakes, consider using an additional support if the board feels compromised.
Gold foil is scratched or peeling.
Handle the board with care. Minor scratches may be less noticeable once the cake is placed on top. For significant damage, consider dedicating the board to less formal presentations or covering it with additional edible decorations.
Board is sticky or has residue after use.
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild dish soap solution on the cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before reuse or storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place your baked and decorated cake directly onto the drum board. Ensure the cake is centered for optimal stability.
Compatibility: Suitable for most standard cakes, including tiered cakes, fruit cakes, and celebration cakes. It is compatible with fondant, buttercream, and ganache finishes. Avoid placing directly onto very hot surfaces or exposing to excessive moisture, which could affect the foil finish.
Care: To clean the cake drum, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away any crumbs or frosting residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the gold foil. Allow the board to air dry completely before storing. Store in a dry, flat place to prevent warping or damage to the finish.
