FAQs

What does 'Single Round Drum' mean?

It means you receive one individual round cake board. 'Drum' refers to its thick, sturdy construction.

Is the foil covering food-safe?

The foil covering is designed for cake presentation. While generally safe, it is recommended to place a layer of baking paper or fondant directly between the cake and the board if direct contact is a concern.

Can I stack cakes directly on top of each other on these boards?

Yes, these thick drums are strong enough to support subsequent cake tiers. It's standard practice to use dowels within the lower cake tiers for added support when stacking.

How do I choose the right size cake board?

Select a cake board that is approximately 2 inches larger in diameter than the cake you are placing on it. This provides a decorative border and space for handling.

Are these boards reusable?

While the board itself is sturdy, the foil covering is typically for single use in presentation. It is not designed for repeated washing and reuse like a reusable cake board.

What is the difference between this and a standard cake board?

The 'Thick Drum' designation indicates a superior level of strength and rigidity (13mm thickness) compared to standard, thinner cake boards, making it ideal for heavier cakes and tiered structures.

Troubleshooting

Board appears slightly warped upon arrival.

Ensure the board is placed on a flat surface. Minor warping from shipping often resolves when a cake's weight is applied evenly. If significant, contact customer support.

Foil covering is scratched.

If the scratch is minor and on the edge, it may not be noticeable once the cake is decorated. For significant scratches on the main surface, consider covering the board with fondant or a decorative border.

Cake slides on the board.

Apply a small dab of buttercream or royal icing to the center of the board before placing the cake. This creates a non-slip surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent stability for heavy or multi-tiered cakes.
  • The foil covering adds a professional and attractive finish.
  • Durable construction ensures cakes are transported safely.
  • Available in a wide array of colors to match any theme.
  • Suitable for a broad range of baking occasions.

Cons

  • The 13mm thickness may be excessive for very lightweight cakes.
  • Sold individually, requiring multiple purchases for sets.
  • Availability of specific sizes can vary.
  • Foil covering may be susceptible to scratching if not handled carefully.
  • The white paper base, while practical, is not decorative.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cake board requires no assembly. Simply place your baked and cooled cake directly onto the foil-covered surface. For tiered cakes, secure each cake tier to the board using a small amount of buttercream or royal icing to prevent slippage.

Compatibility: The LarryRoo cake boards are compatible with all types of cakes, including sponge, fruit, chocolate, and novelty cakes. They are designed to be used with standard cake decorating tools and equipment.

Care:

  • Cleaning: This is a single-use product for cake presentation and support. It is not designed for repeated washing or long-term storage. For minor smudges on the foil surface, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the board is completely dry before placing a cake on it.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain the integrity of the foil and board.
  • Handling: Handle with care to avoid scratching the foil surface. Always place the cake on the board before frosting the sides if using it as a display base.
