Product Information
Full details
This LARRYROO Black Square Cake Board Drum is designed for bakers who need a sturdy and attractive base for their cakes. Its key benefit is its exceptional strength, capable of supporting even heavy fruit cakes, ensuring safe transport and display. A minor caveat is that it's sold individually, so multiple drums may need to be purchased for tiered cakes. The product features a high-quality fibreboard core, covered in a decorative foil finish on the top and sides, with a plain white paper base. It is available in various sizes and colors.

FAQs
What material is the LARRYROO cake board made from?
The LARRYROO cake board is made with fibreboard inners and covered with a colourful foil on the top and sides, with white paper on the base.
What is the thickness of the cake drum?
Each drum is 13mm thick, providing substantial strength for various cake types.
Can I use this board for tiered cakes?
Yes, the 13mm thickness makes it strong enough to support heavier cakes, making it suitable for tiered cake constructions.
What sizes are available?
The boards are available in sizes ranging from 4" to 20", subject to availability.
How should I clean the cake board?
Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive moisture.
Is the foil finish waterproof?
The foil finish is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
Can this board be reused?
While designed for single-use for hygiene and structural integrity after supporting a cake, it can be wiped clean and reused for practice or non-food display purposes if undamaged.
Troubleshooting
Cake appears unstable on the board
Ensure the cake is properly centered on the board and that the board itself is placed on a flat, stable surface. For very heavy cakes, consider using multiple boards or a thicker board if available.
Foil covering is scratched or damaged
While the foil is durable, it can be scratched. Handle with care during decoration and transport. Minor scratches may be less noticeable once the cake is decorated. For significant damage, consider using a different board.
Board feels flimsy for the cake weight
Verify that the correct thickness and size board is being used for the cake's weight and dimensions. The 13mm thickness is designed for strength, but extremely heavy cakes might require professional-grade boards or additional support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This cake board requires no assembly. Simply place your baked and cooled cake directly onto the foil-covered surface. Ensure the cake is centered for optimal balance.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the cake board:
- Wipe the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the foil.
