Product Information
Full details
These 8-inch square Culpitt Cut-Edge Boards in silver are designed for home bakers and professionals supporting smaller cakes and desserts. Their key benefit is providing a cost-effective base for bakes where the edge won't be visible. A caveat to consider is their 1.8mm thickness, which may not be sufficient for heavier cakes requiring more structural support.

FAQs
What is the primary use for these cut-edge boards?
These boards are primarily used to support smaller, lighter bakes like cupcakes, small gateaux, and desserts, especially in tiered cakes where the board's edge is not visible.
Can these boards support a heavy fruitcake?
No, these boards are only 1.8mm thick and are not recommended for heavy cakes like fruitcakes. For heavier bakes, Culpitt recommends 3mm or 13mm cake drums.
Are the cut edges finished?
No, the cut edges are unfinished. This makes them ideal for use within tiered cakes where the edge will be concealed, offering a more economical solution than 'turned edge' boards.
How many boards are in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 boards.
What is the top surface made of?
The top surface is covered in silver foil for a clean presentation.
Can I wash and reuse these boards?
These boards are intended for single use and are not designed to be washed or reused.
What is the difference between cut-edge and turned-edge boards?
Cut-edge boards have unfinished sides and are best when the edge won't be seen. Turned-edge boards have finished, sealed sides and are suitable for display where the edge is visible.
Troubleshooting
Board feels flimsy under cake weight
This board is designed for lighter bakes. For heavier cakes, consider using Culpitt's 3mm double-thick cake cards, hardboards, or 13mm cake drums for increased support.
Silver foil peeling or damaged upon arrival
Inspect the boards upon receipt. If any are damaged, contact your point of purchase for a replacement. Store remaining boards carefully.
