I feel like an idiot for asking...but I'm getting ready to do my first real special occasion cake, so I ordered a cake drum for it. First time I've ever used one. So, just so I don't screw up...
Do I have to cover it? It's covered in foil, it won't absorb oil, will it?
Do I leave it with the customer, or ask for it to be returned? It was only like $2 or so, is it tacky to ask for it back? Can it even be reused?
Thanks for any responses...I feel stupid, but will never learn unless I ask.
The cake drums are covered with foil and do not absorb the oil. No need to recover them unless you just want a certain paper or color rather than what it comes in which is usually white, silver or gold foil.
The customer keeps it ( and probably throws it away). One tip I thought I might add that I do is that if you tape three cardboard cake circles together, they are about the same height and strength of a drum and costs a lot less than buying the drum.

Thanks everyone! I guess the time has come for me to stop covering my boards in plain freezer paper and do something a little more professional. Granted, I've only ever sold two or three cakes before... That cake drum is so pretty I don't even want to use it! LOL
