Product Information
Full details
The PME 12-inch Square Cake Board is an essential foundation for professional and home bakers looking for a reliable, non-warping base for their heavy bakes. It provides exceptional structural integrity with its 11mm thickness, ensuring that large or tiered cakes remain secure during transport and display, though its rigid construction means it cannot be cut or trimmed to fit custom display boxes.

FAQs
Can this board be used for the base of a wedding cake?
Yes, the 11mm thickness is specifically designed to support the weight of heavy wedding and multi-tiered celebration cakes.
Is the surface food-safe?
Yes, the board is finished with a hygienic, food-safe metallic coating suitable for direct contact with food.
Can I cut this board to make it smaller?
It is not recommended to cut the board, as the thick, structural cardboard core is difficult to trim cleanly and may expose the internal fibers.
What is the exact thickness of the board?
This board measures 11mm in thickness, providing a high level of rigidity.
Is the board reusable?
While the surface can be wiped clean, it is generally intended as a single-use base for cakes, especially if the foil finish becomes compromised during cutting.
Troubleshooting
Surface of the foil is scratched or scuffed
If the marks are light, you can often cover them with decorative piping or a lace cake border.
Board feels slightly damp or soft at the edges
Ensure the board is stored in a low-humidity environment; once the cardboard core absorbs moisture, it is best to use a fresh board for structural safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the board, remove the shrink-wrap packaging carefully. The board is ready for immediate use. To maintain the hygienic finish, ensure the surface is dry before placing your cake directly on it. For care, simply wipe the metallic surface with a clean, slightly damp cloth after the cake has been served. Do not submerge the board in water, as the inner cardboard core may absorb moisture and weaken. Store the board flat in a cool, dry place to prevent warping over time.
