Type Of Cake Board To Use Between Layers
Decorating By kelgar Updated 29 Jul 2016 , 7:36am by kelgar
I just watched a video on how to make a spherical cake. The presenter put a thin cake mat/board between the 2 halves of the sphere. What would that mat be made of? If you use a typical cardboard-y mat, won't the cardboard get all mushy from the moisture in the filling/icing? What type of mat is best to use? Thanks
i use cake circles purchased from a cake store -- they are food safe corrugated cardboard -- usually white on one side sometimes both sides white -- sometimes waxed --
if I use unwaxed cake circles I will likely hot glue two together and if it is for a large tier I will slide bamboo skewers into the corrugation for extra stability --
sometimes I use foam core board purchased from the hobby store and cut it myself --
a dear cake friend of mine cleans off the foam core boards i think it was with a vanilla soaked towel due to the alcohol content -- can't remember exactly -- and waxes them to protect the edibles being placed there --
Definitely want to use cake circles. They do not (usually) soak up moisture nor get flimsy.
