Troubleshooting
Board appears flimsy or bends easily.
Ensure the cake's weight is evenly distributed across the board. For very heavy or tiered cakes, consider reinforcing with additional dowels or using a thicker board if available.
Foil surface is scratched or marked.
Handle with care during decoration and transport. If minor marks occur, try wiping gently with a slightly damp cloth. For significant damage, it is best to use a fresh board.
Cake slides off the board.
Apply a small amount of buttercream or royal icing to the center of the board before placing the cake to act as an adhesive. Ensure the board itself is on a stable, level surface.
