Product Information
Full details
The LARRYROO Cake Board Square Thick Drum is designed for bakers who need a reliable and sturdy base for their cakes, from delicate sponges to heavy fruitcakes. Its primary benefit is its exceptional strength, ensuring safe transport and display. A minor consideration is that it is sold individually, so multiple boards need to be purchased for tiered cakes or large batches. This cake drum features a thick fibre board construction covered in a colourful, patterned foil, offering both durability and an attractive finish, with a white paper base for added stability.

FAQs
Is this cake board food safe?
While the board itself is not typically meant to be eaten, the foil and paper covering are generally considered food safe for direct contact with cakes. However, it is always recommended to place a layer of baking paper or parchment between the cake and the board for extra protection, especially if the cake is sticky or very moist.
Can I reuse this cake board?
These cake drums are designed for single use to ensure maximum hygiene and structural integrity. While some users might attempt reuse, it is not recommended due to potential damage, food residue, and compromised strength.
What is the difference between this and a thinner cake board?
The primary difference is thickness (13mm vs. thinner options) and the resulting strength. Thicker drums like this one are essential for supporting heavier cakes, multi-tiered structures, and preventing bending or breakage during transport.
Can I cut this cake board to a custom size?
While technically possible with a very sharp knife or saw, cutting the board is not recommended as it can compromise the structural integrity of the fibre board and the foil finish, potentially leading to weakness.
How do I choose the right size cake board?
The cake board should generally be the same size as the cake it is supporting. For tiered cakes, each tier requires its own appropriately sized board, and then a larger board may be used as the base for the entire cake assembly.
Are there other colours available besides brown?
Yes, the LARRYROO thick drum cake boards are available in a variety of vibrant colours, including silver, gold, red, cerise (hot pink), light pink, purple, light blue, rose gold, green & dark blue.
Troubleshooting
Cake feels unstable on the board
Ensure the cake is centered on the board and that the board itself is placed on a flat, stable surface. For tiered cakes, confirm the board size is appropriate for the cake tier above it.
Foil covering is scratched
Minor scratches may not affect structural integrity. For significant cosmetic damage, consider covering the board with fondant or an edible decoration.
Board appears to be slightly warped
This can happen if stored improperly or exposed to moisture. Try placing a heavy, flat object on top of the board (with a protective layer) for a few hours in a dry environment. If severe, replace the board.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth if minor smudges occur. Avoid excessive moisture, as this can damage the fibre board and foil.
- Storage: Store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the foil and prevent warping.
- Handling: Handle with care to avoid scratching the foil finish. Use clean hands or spatulas when placing cakes to keep the surface pristine.
