K- I'm doing a full size sheet cake this weekend.... basically 18x24. Can I buy a cake board to fit a cake this size? If yes, can I find this at a cake supply store? (never bought one this size so i dont remember). If not what are some quick ideas.... AND... I need to get a scroll effect look on some of the cake... would you shave chocolate... or put it in a bag and draw it out on wax paper and let it harden? needs to look 3-Dish.... I think I have a good idea on how I want to do this... but any advice or ideas would be appreciated.... thanks!

Scroll work, like swirled writing? That is normally piped directly on to the cake. you can use icing or melted chocolate-cooled some.

You should be able to find full sheet cake boards at the decorating store, along with a box.
