Product Information
Full details
The LARRYROO Cake Board Round Thick Drum in Red is designed for bakers needing a robust and visually appealing base for their cakes. Its primary benefit is exceptional strength, capable of supporting even heavy fruit cakes. A potential caveat is that it's sold individually, so larger projects may require multiple purchases.

FAQs
What material is the LARRYROO Cake Board made from?
The board is constructed with fibre board inners and covered with colorful foil on the top and sides, and white paper on the base.
How thick is this cake drum?
Each drum is 13mm thick.
Can I use this for heavy fruit cakes?
Yes, the 13mm thickness makes it strong enough for even heavy fruit cakes.
Is this board reusable?
While designed for single-use support for hygiene and structural integrity, it can be wiped clean and reused for practice or non-critical applications if cared for properly.
What sizes are available?
The boards are available in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 20 inches in diameter, subject to availability.
Does the red color rub off?
The foil covering is generally durable, but direct contact with very moist or oily cake components could potentially lead to some color transfer. Using a barrier like parchment paper is recommended for sensitive cakes.
How many boards come in one pack?
This product is for a pack of 1 single round drum.
Troubleshooting
Board appears to be flexing under heavy cake.
Ensure you are using a sufficiently large diameter board for the cake's base. For exceptionally heavy cakes, consider using a thicker board or doubling up boards if feasible.
Foil covering is scratched or damaged.
Handle the board with care during decoration and transport. Minor scratches may be less noticeable once the cake is fully decorated. For significant damage, consider using a different board for display.
Color transfer from the red foil to the cake.
Place a layer of fondant or a barrier like parchment paper between the cake and the board if concerned about color transfer, especially with light-colored frostings.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely strong and durable, preventing cake board flex or collapse.
- Attractive red finish with a pattern enhances the visual appeal of cakes.
- Suitable for a wide range of cake weights and types.
- Available in various sizes to accommodate different baking needs.
- White paper base prevents color transfer and provides a clean look.
Cons
- Sold individually, which can increase cost for multiple boards.
- The vibrant red color might not suit all cake themes.
- Foil covering may be susceptible to scratching if handled roughly.
- Limited information on specific weight capacity (though described as strongest).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. The cake board is ready to use straight out of packaging. Place your baked cake directly onto the board, securing it with a small amount of frosting or edible glue if necessary.
Compatibility: Compatible with all types of cakes, including sponge, fruit, and tiered cakes. Ensure the chosen size of the cake board is appropriate for the base of your cake, allowing a small margin around the edges if desired.
Care: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid submerging in water or using abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the foil covering. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its appearance.
