FAQs

What is the thickness of this cake drum?

This Larryroo cake drum is 13mm thick, providing exceptional strength for supporting heavy cakes.

Can I get this cake board in other colors?

Yes, the Larryroo cake boards are available in a variety of colors including silver, gold, red, cerise (hot pink), light pink, purple, light blue, rose gold, green, and dark blue, in addition to black.

What sizes are available?

The cake boards are available in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 20 inches in diameter, subject to availability.

How many cake boards come in a pack?

This product is for a single (1) round drum.

Is the foil covering waterproof?

The foil covering is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and not submerged in water.

Can I cut the cake board to a different size?

It is not recommended to cut the cake board, as this can compromise its structural integrity and the foil covering.

How should I store the cake board when not in use?

Store the cake board flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its shape and finish.

Troubleshooting

Cake appears uneven on the board

Ensure the cake itself is baked evenly. If the board has a slight unevenness, consider adding a thin layer of frosting or a small support under the cake's base.

Foil covering is scratched

Minor scratches can be difficult to remove completely. For significant damage, it may be best to cover the board with fondant or frosting before placing the cake, or use a new board.

Board feels unstable under the cake

Ensure the cake's weight is evenly distributed across the board. For very heavy cakes, double-check that the chosen board size is adequate and that no internal structural support (like dowels) is compromised.

Difficulty placing cake onto the board

Ensure the board is on a stable, level surface. Use a thin spatula or cake lifter to carefully transfer the cake. If the cake is sticky, lightly dust the spatula with powdered sugar.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior support for all cake types.
  • Enhances the visual appeal of baked goods with its vibrant finish.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reusability.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes to fit various cake projects.
  • The foil covering is easy to clean and attractive.

Cons

  • Sold as a single unit, requiring multiple purchases for sets.
  • The foil covering may be susceptible to deep scratches.
  • Availability of specific sizes can vary.

  • Primarily designed for cake support, not direct food contact without additional wrapping or lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Larryroo Cake Board is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply place your baked and cooled cake directly onto the foil-covered top surface. For tiered cakes, it is recommended to use dowels within the cake layers for structural support, with the cake drum serving as the base for the entire structure.

Compatibility: This cake drum is compatible with a wide range of cakes, including sponge, chiffon, fruit, and mud cakes. It is suitable for use with fondant, buttercream, and ganache finishes. While the foil surface is generally durable, it's advisable to use a protective layer, such as parchment paper, if applying extremely wet or staining icings directly onto the board's surface for extended periods.

Care: To clean the cake board, gently wipe the foil-covered top and sides with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the foil finish. Do not submerge the board in water. For best results, wipe clean immediately after removing the cake. While robust, repeated heavy use or significant stress may eventually compromise its integrity.
