My local Michaels & Hobby lobby are both out of the 10" cake boards. I was going to stop after work to pick some up for this cake I've been struggling with.... they are OUT!!
Can I use regular card board? Should I maybe wrap the card board in tinfoil? wax paper? This will be used to the 10" cake so I can stack on the 12"...with support of course...
Any other suggestions?? I'm tellin' ya - this cake is gonna get the best of me!!! First all the sticking to the pan.... now this.... ![]()
Cranny, I am sorry to hear about your troubles. We all have had one of those days. Hang in there. As for the cake boards/circles (thin cardboard) have you tried your local Walmart? My Walmart has a Wilton section and carries cake boards/circles and cake drums (thick & already covered; usually silver). Depending on which you are looking for, you can also use foam core board as a substitute for cake drums.
Best Wishes! HTH!
I actually went to my grocery store bakery department and asked them. they always have boards - you may have to cut it down. Another time when I was desperate I went to an actual bakery. Worth a try. Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestions! I have some 8" at home - but of course that won't help.... I may run up Kroger and see if they have one in their bakery. If you've read my other post about my cake falling apart, you'll already know that I'm a day behind on this thing...
I will have to remember to post a picture of this 'cursed-cake' when I'm done!! ![]()
O M G!!! Sometimes venting around the office works wonders!!!
I was just explaing to my friend the problems I'm having with this cake sticking and now the cakeboards... she has some left over from when she bought some for her wedding cake a year ago....6" 10" 12" and a few 14"..... she's on the way to get them for me.... she's going to give them ALL to me!!! Now she say's I'll just owe her a cake in return.... ![]()
Crisis averted!! I can go straight home and continue with this cake!!
