I am trying to figure out where people get their cake boards? Not the small cardboard ones, but the thick ones that you sit your HUGE cakes on to deliver (usually it's decorated with a ribbon around the edge).
On my last cake, I ended up making my own out of foam board hot-glued together, but I was wondering what other options there are. Can I buy them or do I make them out of wood from a hardwood store? Help!
Because cake drums, particulary large ones, are so expensive (and then you add shipping), I make my own using foamcore.
I can get a 20" round out of a single sheet of 1/2 inch foamcore for less than $5. The 1/2 inch foamcore is extremely strong and will hold a multi-tiered cake very easily. This way, I can cover it any way I want (not covering over the silver or gold foil alreay applied to drums) and I don't worry about the cost of not having it returned.

You can buy it at Michael's for sure--and sometimes at WalMart.
The 1/2 inch sheets are expensive, but nothing a 40% off coupon won't cure!

Well, mine actually cost me about $2.50............because of the coupons, but since things fluctuate, I didn't want to get anyone's hopes too high..
And a single 20" drum on the countrykitchensa website (for those of us without access to their wholesale site) is $8.30 PLUS shipping........
Just providing reasonable options............
