Troubleshooting
Cake sliding on the board
Apply a small amount of royal icing or buttercream to the centre of the board before placing the cake. Ensure the board surface is clean and dry.
Board appears to be slightly warped
Ensure the board has been stored flat in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations can sometimes affect rigid boards. For immediate use, try placing heavier items around the edges of the cake to help stabilize it.
Scuff marks on the silver foil
Handle the board with care during transport and placement. Minor scuffs can sometimes be gently buffed with a soft, dry cloth. For significant damage, consider covering the board with fondant or a decorative topper.
