I purchased cake board that is covered in wax. Is there a need to cover it? It will be a full sheet cake so I would rather not if anyone can assure me that my buttercream won't seep through.
I covered a cake board in regular wax paper once and it seeped through. But since this is already covered in wax, I thought it may be different. |

I would think it souldn't seep through straight parrafin wax. Why don't you drop some icing on it and leave it there for a few hours and see:)?
Where did you get this board? |

IMHO I wouldn't think that it would seep through those wax covered boards |

Hi, ksgirl!
I use waxed boards and no it wont seep through. There is no need to wrap the board in anything unless it is for presentation purpases.
I buy mine from cakeartpartystore.com, they are only $1.6 per full sheet board. I also buy my boxes from there and the shipping isn't too bad. For 5 full sheet boxes and boards, 5 half sheet boards and boxes, and also 5 quarter sheet boxes and boards was only $14.88 for shipping. That is regular ground shipping. Someone else may know of a better place but this is the best I could find.
HTH!

So, I looked at them, and I assume that these are just boards for a single cake, not a tiered one?? Not as strong as a drum?? |

I just bought some 6" to try them out. They appear to be regular cake circles with a light coating of wax on the white part. I was hoping they were coated on both sides so I could use them for stacked cakes, but they're not.  I hate wrapping boards. |

I have never wrapped a cake board - ever, unless it was for the bottom tier (or a one tier cake). |

Really Leah? This is terrific! You mean I've been doing extra work all this time??
I was always afraid they'd get soggy or leave little cardboard fuzzies!
OMG - I would be so happy if I never had to wrap a board on a stacked cake!!  |

Samw here for me Leah - I have never wrapped a cake board. And, I use the masonite at the base, which I decorate for style.  |
