Product Information
Full details
This LARRYROO Single Colourful Cake Board in Blue is designed for home bakers and professional cake decorators needing a strong and stable base for their creations. Its key benefit is its exceptional strength, capable of supporting even heavy fruit cakes. A minor consideration is that this product is sold individually, so plan accordingly for multi-tiered cakes. Key features include its robust fibre board construction, vibrant foil covering, and a practical white paper base.

FAQs
What is the thickness of this cake board?
The LARRYROO cake board is 13mm thick, providing significant strength and stability.
Can this board support a heavy fruit cake?
Yes, the 13mm thickness and robust fibre board construction make it strong enough to safely support heavy fruit cakes.
How should I clean the cake board?
Wipe the board with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
Are these boards available in different shapes?
This specific product is described as a drum, typically round. While the title mentions 'Square Thick Drum', ensure you are purchasing the correct shape for your needs. LARRYROO also offers square boards.
Can I buy these in bulk for a bakery?
These are sold individually. For bulk purchases, please check with the retailer for bulk ordering options or multi-packs if available.
What does 'Single Colourful' mean?
'Single Colourful' indicates that each board is covered in one solid, vibrant color foil, as opposed to multi-colored or patterned foils (though the description mentions a pattern on the foil itself).
What is the base of the cake board made of?
The base of the cake board is covered with white paper for a clean finish.
Troubleshooting
Board appears warped or bent.
Ensure the board has been stored correctly in a flat, dry environment. Excessive moisture or improper storage can cause warping. If it's significantly warped, it may not be suitable for supporting a cake.
Foil covering is scratched or torn.
Handle the board carefully during use and transport. Minor scratches may be unavoidable but try to avoid rough handling. If torn, consider covering the affected area with edible decorations or using a different board for critical presentation areas.
Cake slides on the board.
Ensure the cake is properly cooled before placing it on the board. A small amount of buttercream or royal icing applied to the board before placing the cake can add grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place your cake directly onto the covered surface of the board. For multi-tiered cakes, ensure boards are centered correctly on the cake below and use dowels for structural support.
Compatibility: This cake board is compatible with all types of cakes, including sponge, fruit, mousse, and tiered constructions. It is designed to be placed directly on cake stands or platters.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface and edges with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture, as it can damage the fibre board.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping or discoloration of the foil.
- Handling: Handle with care to avoid scratching or tearing the foil covering.
