How many cakes can fit in one box?

Troubleshooting

Cake appears unstable on the drum.

Ensure the cake is evenly baked and cooled. For very tall or delicate cakes, consider using a central dowel support within the cake and ensuring the drum is placed on a flat, stable surface during transport.

Box lid does not fit snugly.

Verify that the correct size drum and box are being used together. Ensure no excess frosting or decorations are obstructing the rim of the box or the edge of the drum.

Foil finish shows minor scuffs.

Minor scuffs can occur with normal use. For presentation purposes, consider covering the drum with a decorative ribbon or applying a branded sticker to mask any imperfections.

Drum or box feels flimsy.

Confirm that you are using the 13mm thick drum as intended. Ensure the cake's weight is distributed evenly across the drum's surface. The drum is designed for transport, not for permanent display or stacking heavy items on.

Cons

  • The silver foil finish may be susceptible to scuffing or peeling with extensive use.
  • While strong, very delicate sugar decorations might still require additional internal support within the box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product requires no assembly. Simply place your finished cake directly onto the cake drum. Ensure the cake is stable on the drum before placing the lid on the white box. The lid of the box is designed to fit over the drum, enclosing the cake.

Compatibility: The LARRYROO Colour Cake Drum Board & White Box + Lid Combo Pack is compatible with most standard cakes. It is available in a wide range of diameters (6" to 20") to match your specific cake size. The 13mm thickness is suitable for cakes of varying weights, including dense fruit cakes.

Care: To maximize re-usability, clean the drum and box carefully after each use. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away any frosting residue. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the foil finish and board material. Allow the components to air dry completely before storing them flat in a cool, dry place. Do not store heavy items on top of the drum or box when not in use, as this may cause deformation.
