Has anyone here used a mirror as a cake board. Obviously it would have to have a bevelled edge so it wasn't sharp to pick up. I just thought for some cakes it would be a really neat idea and was wondering if anyone out there has done it has advice

Yup! I have. My husband works in the glass and mirror business. I made a cake was 2 11x18s side by side with a birdhouse cake on top for a 60th birthday party for a church group. Looked really nice. I cute the cake right on the mirror no problems.
Wow - what a great idea. I've honestly never thought of this before. Something new to try!
Thanks for sharing! They have mirrored tiles, with beveled edges, at Hobby Lobby. I already bought one and I'm just waiting for a chance to try. It feels kind of thin so I was planning maybe to use some adhesive and attach a foam board or styrofoam underneath it to give it a little more stability, then run a ribbon around the edge.
I use mirrors all the time and love them. They make a beautiful presentation and a lasting part of the the gift. I teach at several Hobby Lobbies and there are always 40% off coupons for these so they sometimes are less expensive than the thick cake boards. I love the square ones and hex shape especially. Everyone that I present a cake to loves the fact that the mirror is able to be used as a base for candles after the cake is consumed.
Cookie4, the hexagon is exactly the one that I have! It's so pretty. I just haven't made the right cake for it yet. Maybe I'll use it for the groom's shower cake I'm doing next week.
Mike...not sure what that comment is supposed to mean?
As posted earlier, I believe all of us (at least I hope so) have our cakes on cake boards first, then place the cake on the mirror or mirrored stand.
Thanks for pointing it out. Frankly neither do I. I don't know where my head was at the time. Well, I do, BUT LOLOL Sorry if anyone took this the wrong way. Not a clue on my part.

i use mirrors and plexiglass all of the time! I have a local glass business that cuts any size and shape that I want and smooths the edges for me. The one thing you do need to do is to put the cake on a cake board or something before putting it on the mirror. This not only cuts down on scratches to the mirror, but because mirror is glass, it makes it food safe and cuts down on the risk of small pieces of the mirror cracking off and getting into your cake.
Look into seeing if you can find a glass place in your area...the costs are so much more cheaper.
Good luck!!!!
