FAQs
What material is the Larryroo Cake Board made from?
The board is made from strong fibre board inners, covered with a decorative foil on the top and sides, and white paper on the base.
Is this cake board suitable for very heavy cakes?
Yes, the 13mm thickness is designed to be very strong and is suitable for any type of cake, from light sponges to heavier fruit cakes.
Can I get this cake board in different colors?
Yes, the Larryroo Cake Board is available in a variety of colors including silver, gold, red, hot pink, light pink, purple, light blue, rose gold, green, and dark blue.
What sizes are available?
The boards are available in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 20 inches in diameter, subject to availability.
How should I clean the cake board if I want to reuse it?
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaners. Ensure it is completely dry before storing or reusing. It's best practice to cover it before placing a cake on it again.
Can I place fondant directly onto the board?
While the foil surface is smooth, it is recommended to place your cake, which is typically covered in fondant or frosting, onto the board. For direct fondant application, ensure the board is clean and dry.
Is this a single cake drum or a pack?
This product listing is for a single round drum.
Troubleshooting
Drum appears to be bending under cake weight.
Ensure you are using the appropriate size drum for your cake. For very heavy cakes, consider using a thicker board or a drum specifically rated for extreme weight. Ensure the cake is evenly distributed on the drum.
Foil covering is damaged or peeling.
This may occur with excessive moisture or rough handling. For best results, handle with care and avoid exposing to moisture. If the damage is minor, you may be able to cover it with edible decorations or fondant.
Cake slides off the drum.
Apply a small amount of buttercream or royal icing to the center of the drum to act as 'glue' before placing the cake. Ensure the cake is appropriately sized for the drum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This cake drum requires no assembly. Simply place your baked and cooled cake directly onto the foil-covered surface. Ensure the cake is centered for optimal balance.
Compatibility: Compatible with all types of cakes, from light sponge cakes to heavy fruit cakes. It can be used with standard cake tins and is suitable for use with cake stands. It is designed for single use or repeated use depending on care, but is not intended for direct contact with food if re-used without proper covering.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the drum in water, as this can damage the foil covering and the fibre board. Allow to air dry completely. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its appearance.
