If I am planning on doing an 8" cake on an 8" board, would I just pipe the bottom border around the board to hide it?
the bride doesnt want tuile or a foil board or anything. JUST the cake on a board on the decorative plate.
then should I tape the board to the plate, so it wont shift, or should I just decorate the cake on the plate and not use a board/circle??
thanks everyone!
I usually trim my cake boards because ultimately the 8" board is bigger than your 8" baked cake. Especially if you are putting it on another board, that way when doing the border there won't be any chanc of the board showing, it will be easier to do border. Sorry sometimes I find my self talking in circles! Ha! I need to be able to type as fast as I think 
I never have problems with the board showing after the cake is iced and a boarder is on it. Whenever I run out of 8" I cut down a 10" circle and they don't fray. Just make sure you use sharp scissors. If it would happen to fray, just cover it with something, like glad press n seal or fancifoil.
You could probably use an exacto knife type thing to trim the board to fit better.
I place my cakes (sheets and rounds) on a larger board and do my icing and smoothing. Then I use a box cutter knife and trim close to my icing and then transfer to decorative board or plate

That is a great idea!
I usually don't have a problem with the cake board showing after I ice the cake either.
