Cardboard Boards Vs Styrofoam Boards?

this may be a dumb question, but is the foam core just the white foam boards you can buy at a craft store? how thick is it? how do you best cut it? ok, that was three dumb questions
Lol....yes, 1/2 inch and smaller size which I forget now, best cut with hot knife and/or big box cutter....awesome stuff!!
I use foam core for my tiers, the base - the whole shabang! Won't use cardboard ever - too flimsy.
It helps immensely! I put each cake tier on it's own foam core circle, the same size as the cake, maybe a little bigger. Then, put that on another precut foam. I put all of that on the turntable, ice the cake, and with my bench scraper, smooth away using the outer largest foam cirlce as the guide. Carefully pop in the fridge to set, and then remove the cake from the larger foam core circle. Perfectly smooth straight icing, and no border whatsoever. Works great!
Die hard Foam core fan here. Only thing i use. Custom cut for each cake.
I also use the Glad Press n Seal to cove the foam core (food safety first! 
)
I use the press n seal for just about anything I can...AWESOME stuff (so is the FOAM CORE!!) 
HTH
