Where can I find a square cake board? I did not see them at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

I'm not sure but I'll tell you an easy fix. By a pack of the rectangle ones, get a good box cutter and cut to size

would regular cardboard cut to size work?

i'd use cake boards b/c they are made from corregated cardboard and are extra sturdy. what i do is get a bunch from my local cake shop and stake them (glueing them onto eachother) and then cover w/ fanci foil. makes a nice sturdy base.

I buy foamcore at Michael's and cut them to the size and shape I need.

www.sugarcraft.com has them.

Do a search for square cake boards, click the first link and then scroll down a bit.

How much weight will the foam core hold and would the 1/2" plywood be stonger? I have a wedding cake due in a few weeks that is, square 12".8" stacked and 6" tiered.
I bought a foil covered board from sugarcraft, but it really doesn't seem strong enough.

1/2" foamcore will hold your 3-tier cake. That's what I use. For cakeboards, I use the 3/16" foamcore for the 6" cakes, and 1/2" foamcore on the 8" and 12".
