Does anyone else have trouble with this? I can't seem to figure out the easiest/nicest looking way to do this. I usually double/triple up on my boards so they're a little thicker so I have a little bit more of an edge on them...I've tried using ribbon to cover up my flaws but ribbon doesn't look good with every cake...any suggestions/tips?

Thanks

I also like a thick cake board/drum. I do it the way Wilton recommends, and I make cuts about every 1" around the perimiter. I make the cut right up to the cardboard, then pull the "tab" flat against the back of the board and tape it down. It does take a little more tape and time to do it this way, but the board always turns out perfect. Good luck!

I do it just like kelleym says. It takes a lot of tape, but it looks great.

Great question! Thanks for the answers

I do it the same way!! Works great
