FAQs
Is this cake board food-safe?
The top and sides are covered in foil, and the base has paper. While designed as a base for cakes, it is recommended to place a fondant or parchment barrier between the cake and the board if direct contact is a concern.
Can I wash and reuse this cake board?
This cake board is designed for single use as a cake base. While the surface can be wiped clean, it is not intended for repeated washing and reuse.
What is the maximum weight this board can support?
The board is 13mm thick and designed to be very strong, suitable for heavy fruit cakes. However, an exact weight limit is not specified; ensure the cake's weight is distributed evenly.
How many cake boards come in a pack?
This product is for a pack of 1 single round drum.
What sizes are available?
The boards are available in sizes ranging from 4" to 20", subject to availability.
Can this board be used for tiered cakes?
Yes, its strength makes it suitable for supporting tiered cakes, provided the correct size is chosen and the tiers are properly assembled.
Is the purple color consistent across all boards?
The purple foil provides a vibrant color. Minor variations may occur due to the manufacturing process, but the overall hue should be consistent.
Troubleshooting
Board feels slightly flexible despite its thickness.
Ensure the cake's weight is evenly distributed across the board. For very heavy cakes, consider using a slightly larger size board or reinforcing the base if a specific structural challenge exists.
Foil appears scratched or damaged upon arrival.
Inspect the packaging upon delivery. If the board is damaged, contact the retailer for a replacement.
Color seems different from expected.
Colors may vary slightly due to screen settings and lighting conditions. Refer to product images for the closest representation of the purple hue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
Compatible with all types of cakes, from light sponges to dense fruitcakes. Ensure the chosen board size is appropriate for the cake it will support. It is designed to fit standard oven-safe cake pans and serving platters.
Care:
- Wipe the foil surface gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or minor smudges. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the foil.
- The white paper base should be kept dry. Avoid direct contact with moisture.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and integrity of the foil.
- This product is for single use as a cake base and is not intended for repeated washing and reuse in the same manner as a baking pan.
