Green Square Drum Cake Board - The Cake Decorating Co.

A 'drum board' refers to a very thick and strong cake board, typically around 0.5 inches (12mm) or more, designed to support heavy cakes like fruitcakes and multi-tiered wedding cakes without bending.

It is generally recommended to use a drum board that is two inches larger in diameter than your largest cake tier. For example, a 10-inch cake tier would require a 12-inch drum board.

Yes, the green covering is a food-safe foil, allowing cakes to be placed directly onto it without needing an additional barrier.

While it is designed for heavy cakes, you can certainly use it for lighter cakes. However, a thinner, standard cake board might be more appropriate for lighter cakes to avoid unnecessary thickness.

Gently wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or submerging the board in water.

This board is best suited for heavy cakes such as fruitcakes, dense chocolate cakes, and multi-tiered wedding cakes that require superior structural support.

Yes, the green surface is a food-safe foil, making it suitable for direct contact with your cake.

Ensure the board is stored flat in a cool, dry environment. Minor warping may resolve on its own once removed from adverse storage conditions. For significant warping, consider using it for a less structurally critical cake or as a base for smaller decorations.

Minor scratches may not affect functionality. For significant damage, consider covering the board with fondant, a cake topper, or a decorative wrap before placing the cake on it.

Verify that the board size is at least two inches larger than the cake tier. Ensure the board itself is placed on a level and stable surface. For very tall or heavy cakes, consider adding internal supports within the cake structure itself.
