What do you all use for your hexagon shape cake drums?

The bottom cake will be 14" hexagon so I guess it should be 18" but I didn't see any in the cake supply.

Anyone have a template to cut an 18" hexagon from foam core? Does anyone make their own or where did you buy?

Thanks.

I haven't made any hex-cakes, but can you buy a round, trace the pan, and offset the line with a ruler?

Wilton has a tutorial online and in their books about tracing their character pans to make a custom cakeboard.

Trace around your hex pan on newspaper, add 2"border around it, cut it out and trace onto foam board or cardboard. Cut out using a box cutter. I usually use 2-4 layers taped together and then covered in fondant.

I so cheat this one. I take a roll of tape that has as much tape thickness that I want the finished board to be. Place the tape roll next to the pan, A pencil on the inside of the tape. Roll the tape around while tracing. Even uniform border is now traced. Cut and go. You can square off the edges if you want.

These are some good ideas, thank you.

Unfortunately, although I can make a rose from icing, I cannot draw a straight line even with a ruler - so this should be interesting
