What Kind Of Board To Use Under 3 Tier Cake?

i'm not sure what kind of board to use under a 3 tier cake. Any help?
Wilton makes a decorative 1/2 inch drum/board --they sell in Michaels two to a box. They are silver foil covered. As well, many cake decorating specialty stores sell them. I love getting them at Michaels because I can use a coupon! If your cake is square, you can use 1/2 foam board (well... you can use that if it is a circle as well, you just have to have a really good saw to make the edges smooth.)

I use the thick foam board to make my own.
If you use a sharp xacto knife you won't have any problems cutting it.

The best I've found are from a company called Logicpic. They are 1/2 inch thick foam core with an FDA approved grease and waterproof coating. They are extremely sturdy and will not flex. You can glue a ribbon around the edge if you want and they make them in practically any shape and size you could ask for.
They also sell foamcore boards in thinner sizes to use between tiers in stacked cakes, as well as a neat support system....when it first came out they asked me to try it and write up an evaluation.....it is still on their website.

I tried the Wilton boards and found they flexed too much for my taste.
debluvs2bake had a pretty stand that she made from a pine circle and finials, or draw pulls, from the hardware store. I just pick up the supplies this morning to make one. Lowe's has a 15" circle for under 7.00. With pulls, screws, and a can of paint, it came it right at 15.00.
Gotta get fondant on the cake so I can get out the drill!

Exactly. That's why I don't trust them for anything over a small two tier cake.

As usual, this is a question that will have many answers. I've, more than once, put upwards of 60 lbs, of cake on a Wilton and never had a mishap.
I use pre-cut masonite boards and cover them with RI, fondant or foil.
