Product Information
Full details
The LARRYROO Red Round Cake Board is designed for bakers who need a sturdy and visually appealing base for their cakes. Its primary benefit is its exceptional strength, capable of supporting even heavy fruit cakes, while its vibrant red color adds a festive touch to any occasion. A potential caveat is that it's sold as a single unit, so multiple boards may need to be purchased for larger events or multiple cake tiers. Key features include its thick fibreboard construction, decorative foil covering, and availability in various sizes.

FAQs
What material is the cake board made from?
The board is made from strong fibreboard inners, covered with colorful foil on the top and sides, and white paper on the base.
How thick is the cake board?
This specific cake drum is 13mm thick.
Can this board support heavy fruit cakes?
Yes, the 13mm thickness makes it strong enough to safely carry even heavier fruit cakes.
Is the red color permanent?
The color is a foil covering. While durable, avoid excessive rubbing or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to maintain its vibrancy.
Can I wash and reuse this cake board?
While the board is sturdy, it is generally intended for single use per cake to ensure hygiene and optimal presentation. Minor cleaning with a damp cloth is possible for the foil surface, but the white base should be kept clean and dry.
What sizes are available?
This board is available in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 20 inches, subject to availability.
Does this product come with multiple boards?
No, this listing is for one single round drum board.
Troubleshooting
Board feels slightly flexible.
Ensure the cake is centered on the board to distribute weight evenly. For very heavy cakes, consider using a thicker board or reinforcing with dowels.
Foil covering has a minor scuff mark.
Gently try to buff the scuff with a soft, dry cloth. Minor imperfections may occur during shipping or handling.
White base has a small stain.
Wipe gently with a dry cloth. The white base is designed for contact with frosting and is best protected by the cake itself.
