When we talking about wedding cake,we imagine layers of cake,the weight of wedding cake dictates that we use a firm and strong cake board.There are actually many details and definitions that need to be understood to select the best cake board for your needs.
Here we endeavor to outline exactly what a cake board is, and any other information you would need to know, so you can find the perfect product to support your cake not only for wedding cake.
What is a cake board?
A cake board is a piece of hardboard covered in foil (usually silver,gold,but other colors are available) and around 2-4 mm common thick. They are dense and very strong. They’re perfect for most cakes and provided you’re careful with them when cutting your cake they can be reused a few times.
Other names for cake boards: double thick cards,double thick cake board, hardboard,cake base board,cake circles,Different crafts have different names.
What is a cake drum?
A cake drum is normally a few layers of corrugated paper board covered in foil (like cake boards you can get them in other colors but silver,gold,white is the most common) and they are around 12mm thick. They’re strong and are generally available in larger sizes than cake boards. Like cake boards they can be reused provided you care for them correctly.
So which one should you use?
The main difference between the 2 is their thickness. Cake drums at around 12mm thick are perfect for adding a ribbon around for some extra decoration.
Cake drums were traditionally used for wedding cakes but are becoming increasingly popular for all cakes due to the option of adding a ribbon.
Cake boards aren’t obsolete though, they’re often cheaper and they’re used for tiers in stacked cakes as the thin but hard board is easy to cover but offers ample support for the cake.
The conclusion is that when you make a wedding cake, you usually use two materials. For the base of the cake, you use a cake drum because it is harder and stronger and can withstand more weight. Then you'll support each layer with a cake board at the bottom, which is very thin and easy to cover.
