FAQs
What is the thickness of this cake board?
The LARRYROO cake board is 13mm thick, providing substantial strength for various cake types.
What colours are available?
This specific listing is for the Gold colour. Other available colours include Silver, Red, Cerise (Hot Pink), Light Pink, Purple, Light Blue, Rose Gold, Green, and Dark Blue.
Can this board be reused?
While the board is sturdy, it is generally intended for single use, especially if it comes into direct contact with cake and frosting. Cleaning is difficult and may damage the foil.
What is the maximum cake size this board can support?
The boards are available in sizes ranging from 4 inches up to 20 inches, depending on availability.
Is the gold foil finish food-safe?
The top and sides are covered in foil, with a white paper base. While the foil provides a decorative finish, it is standard practice to place a cake directly onto the surface or use a cake layer between the cake and the board for direct contact.
How should I store the cake boards?
Store the cake boards flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their shape and finish.
Does this product come with a lid?
No, this product is a cake board only and does not include a lid.
Troubleshooting
Board feels flimsy
Ensure you are using the correct thickness board for the weight of your cake. For exceptionally heavy cakes, consider using multiple boards stacked together or a thicker option if available.
Foil covering is scratched
Handle the board with care during transport and setup. Minor scratches may not be visible once the cake is decorated. For significant damage, consider placing a decorative liner or fondant border over the affected area.
Board is slightly bent
Store boards flat in a stable environment. If a board arrives slightly warped, try placing a heavy, flat object on top of it for a few hours to help it flatten out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The cake board is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Place your baked cake directly onto the foil-covered top surface.
Compatibility: Compatible with all types of cakes, including sponge, madeira, fruit, and novelty cakes. It is designed to hold cakes up to 20 inches in diameter.
Care: This product is designed for single use with cakes. To clean, wipe the surface gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if there are minor crumbs. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the foil. If significant frosting or cake residue adheres to the surface, it is recommended to discard the board. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
