Product Information
Full details
The FunCakes Greaseproof Cake Card is an essential tool for home bakers and cake decorators looking to achieve a professional finish on their creations. Perfectly suited for placing directly beneath cakes for display or acting as a stable divider in tiered cake constructions, this pack of five 20cm cards provides a reliable, grease-resistant barrier. While these cards offer an excellent presentation surface, users should be aware that their thin design makes them unsuitable for supporting heavy, dense cakes on their own, necessitating the use of thicker cake drums for structural heavy-lifting.

FAQs
Can these cards be reused?
No, these cards are intended for single use to ensure hygiene and the best structural performance.
Can I use these for heavy fruit cakes?
These cards are thin and lightweight; they are not recommended for heavy fruit cakes unless placed on top of a thicker, more rigid cake board.
Is the white surface food safe?
Yes, FunCakes supplies are designed specifically for food contact and meet standard safety requirements for baking.
Can I trim these to fit a smaller cake?
Yes, you can easily trim these cards with sharp kitchen scissors to fit cakes smaller than 20cm.
Are these boards suitable for the fridge?
Yes, they can withstand refrigeration, though they should be kept away from excessive humidity to prevent the card material from softening.
Troubleshooting
The card is bending under the weight of my cake.
The cake is too heavy for this specific card. Move the cake and card onto a thicker, more rigid cake drum for better support.
The edge of the card is visible under the cake.
Ensure the cake base is the same diameter or slightly larger than the card, or trim the excess card edge carefully with clean scissors before icing the cake.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resists grease and moisture absorption
- Provides a clean, professional white base
- Ideal for use as a layer stabilizer in tiered cakes
- Lightweight and easy to store
- Cost-effective multipack format
Cons
- Not intended for supporting heavy cakes alone
- Thin material may bend under excessive weight
- Requires a separate cake drum for bottom support on larger cakes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, place your baked cake directly on the center of the card. Because the cards are non-stick and grease-resistant, they allow for easy maneuvering during the decorating process. When storing, keep the cards in a cool, dry place within their original packaging to avoid moisture damage or bending. These cards are designed for single-use to maintain hygiene and structural integrity. Do not attempt to wash or reuse these cards, as the greaseproof coating will break down, and the paper core will weaken upon contact with water or cleaning agents.
