I have large sheet cake due Saturday, (2 1/2 11X15 double layer). I am debating on what to cover the cake board with, I actually have a large heavy mirror that I am going to use for the cake board. Any suggestions? This is a paid cake and would like the board to look nice. Thanks.
What about covering foam board in foil or press and seal, then use thinned down RI in a colour to compliment your cake. You can even swirl other colours into it for a marbled effect if you like.

I have a cake the same size due on Friday. I covered one cake board using gift paper and food safe contact paper. Then hot glued the covered cake board back to back with another cake board. And I covered the seam between them with ribbon.
the paper is a cute idea....but won't they cut threw it or won't it like rip when they go to cut they cake?....this is a really good topic, as i have a 1/2 sheet due next friday and was wondering what i could use for more support for the cake, as the people who ordered the cake will be traveling a 1/2 hour to an hour with it in there vehicle....i was thinking about getting smooth faced plywood and then glue a plastic cake board to it, then covering up the outside edge of the plywood with ribbon or something...
fbgirl00,
If you really want the mirror, I would recommend just laying it on the final destination table and placing the cake on top. I would not try and carry the cake on the mirror, in case it breaks.
Cake_Princess,
I love the ribbon on your board.
I have two quetions: What do you use for your boards? And is there any reason why you didn't hotglue the two boards together first and then wrap the whole thing?
Just curious.

The food safe contact paper is thick so it is not easily torn (unless the person cutting the cake is doing some heavy duty sawing on the cake).
I am not sure how thick the boards are I should have taken a pic before gluing them together. However once they are glued together they are much stronger. I do this all the time for cakes that size or larger. My Lightening McQueen base cake was 22" x 15" x 4" plus the cake that I carved on top. And my customer had no problems transporting this cake.
