How to wrap a cake board
Finally, after some popular science, we come to our topic today: how to wrap a cake board?
--First of all,we should paper our cake board/cake drum then use the right paper size to wrap the board.
You can also make your own board,but if you find this is unnecessary you can use the cake drum or cake board which is already made any just wrap the board with different paper and material.
---Then place the cardboard cutouts on your foil and trace the pattern onto the back of the foil.
---Now, the foil piece that you use to wrap the board template cannot be in the exact same size as the cardboard.
---This is because it needs to be wrapped around the cake board. This is not a full wrap. However, the sides need to be folded underneath so that the cake board looks neat and the cardboard is not visible.
---For this purpose, when you cut your foil, give it an extra allowance of about 2 inches on the sides. This is so that there is enough foil to fold over the board sides.
---To make it easier to fold over, make short snips all around the foil. When doing this, make sure the cut does not go beyond the outline of the cake pan you made on it earlier. You can keep each snipping to a distance of about 1 to 2 inches each.
---Finally, wrap the foil around the board and secure the bottom neatly. Now foil does not need glue to hold it in place. But, if you use paper or other material, you would definitely use glue to hold everything in place.
When you are going to wrap your cake drum,this is also the same process,just make sure you cut the right size of the foil paper.
