Okay, this is totally a newbie question, but where do you all decorate a larger cake (10X 10) and then how do you get it to the serving/display board. Do you just decorate on the board with some wax paper underneath and pull it out when you are done?
Yes Maam' that is how I do it exactly. I put it on the cake board with the wax strips and decorate. Then pull the wax paper out. And that is it. I bought a cake box from Kroger ones they sell their cakes in with plastic lid. If its a cake for my family I just transport it in that and keep reusing it. Hope that helps!
Yes, it is reuseable. To clean, I use a wet rag rather than dousing it with water. I cover all my boards in it. Foamboard, too. I even have people return the boards to me-cardboard and foamboard.
I I want something other than contact paper, I will cover with wrapping paper and then cover with transparent contact paper. Keeps the grease from spreading over the paper and makes it re-useable.
Decorate right on the baord that the cake is staying on. I frost with an icing tap and there isn't a mess on the board at all.
I cover my board in self-adhesive contact paper. If any frosting smudges on the board, it wipes off easily.
That's what I love about CC. I'm always learning something new. Sometimes it's the simplest thing and you just don't think of it on your own.
Thanks for the idea! ![]()
The contact paper is a great idea.Why didn't I think about that
Also I use tissue paper to cover some boards. Not the super thin paper kind but I have found some that is like thin mylar. It works great. Using it I don't have to wrap the board then contact paper it. Its already grease and water proof. Plus I usually but it at the Dollar Store ![]()
