Cover Cake Board Between Layers
Decorating By lannwetzel Updated 19 Aug 2011 , 6:38pm by imagenthatnj
What do you all use to cover your cake board between layers so it doesn't get soggy? I'm going to make my first 2 tier cake and I have a feeling the board will get soggy between the layers...am I right?
When I do not have grease-proof cake boards (1st choice), I just cover them with Glad-press and seal.

I used to use foil, but it's just too bulky, the Press N'Seal works great!

Nothing... they are made for this purpose. They really don't get soggy--grease-stained, but not soaked.
(Although I use a circle of waxed paper on the bottom to prevent sticking.)
Agreed with CWR41 - I never put anything, and I've never had anything happen to them.
I do, however, always tape at least 2 boards together for each tier - I learned that in my last cake-decorating class before I graduated.

Why the 2 boards?
I'm not sure - actually in class we always did 3 boards. It helps give you a little more height which is nice for decorating, and that way you are guaranteed to have a sturdy firm base board beneath each tier of cake.
I've heard of the two boards. And sometimes three, depending on how heavy the cake is.
This is a nice diagram of cake construction.
