Not enough support for the cake.. your cake board isn't strong enough to support the weight of the cake.. I double my cake boards and then you still have to be really careful and support in the center of the cake when transporting. Either that, or use a wooden board ... the only problem with this is you either charge a deposit for the return or you may not get it back.
yep, not enough support, double the board or get stronger board to start with, and I always carry with two hands under the cake, not one down the middle. This is common, so don't feel badly, once set level the crack should mend itself. Blessings, Shawn <><
I'm not knocking Wilton stuff, but their boards are just way too thin. You'd almost have to triple them up to have enough support and I'm not sure that'd ever be enough
I found some thicker ones that didn't cost near as much at a store called Party Time. I need to see about buying them in bulk from someone, but the downfall of that is you can't see how thick they are and if they'll support the weight of you cakes properly.

Hey Guys, Someone was looking to purchase cake boards in bulk .
I always use a place called SYSCO it's a wholesale supply that sells not only to restaurants but the general public as well.
They have cake boards and boxes in pretty much every size and if my sheet cake exceeds the largest size box they have i usually just use one large cut out from a huge box and tape or stick my cake board onto it then cover with fancy foil and doilies.
Also check into paper supply companies in your area,they sell cake boxes and boards and sometimes you can custom order your supplies for much less than what you would buy in a store like Michaels,party supply stores or walmart or any other supply store in your area, they also sell to the public and they sell in bulk.
Do you have to be a business to order from them? Or can an individual order? I just do cakes from my home.
I buy mine at Sams club in the bakery dept. they cost $11.02 for a case- I think 50ct. They are scalloped edged and waxed, no foiling and no mess, I also get my window boxes and STURDY cake boxes from there, but you have to ask for them, they don't shelve them. Blessings, Shawn <><
Shawn,
I never thought about buying them at Sam's. Next time I'm in there that's what I'm going to do. Thanks for the tip~
