Need ideas for a stable cake board to use for a 75 serving wedding cake?
THANKS!

Is it a stacked cake? Are you going to transport it?

I use 1/2 plywood covered for heavy cakes. Some other threads I have seen mention masonite.

Bethola in KY

I have also used serving trays, like trays for drinks flipped upsidedown. Look around your house or ask friends and family what they have. You would be amazed what you can find with a little creative thinking. Kinda like a game!

In England we use drum cake boards there 1/2 an inch thick and really strong. I dont know where your from and what your boards are like, but wilton sell one like it, check them out on the link below. Hope it helps

This will be a 2 - 3 layer 14" castle cake with turrets.

Oh, and I forgot to ask, has anyone tried double layer thick foam core board?

I just did a 3 tier, 16,12,8 and used foam core boards that I glued together, it worked beautifully, definitely strong and lightweight. I covered in fondant. It is the seashell cake in my photos.

Beautiful cake MissRobin!!!!

I use the 1/2" foam board for heavy cakes and so far have had good luck.

How about a framed mirror? i use those a lot! or a ceramic tile found at your local hardware store.

this may be a silly question, but do you get your cake boards back after the wedding, for example, or do you just add the price of the board in the price of the cake and forget about it? thanks

I have yet to get a cake board back in good condition, but the ones I use are paper or foam core so that might make a huge difference. I just add the cost onto the cake. I am not sure about masonite though?

I never get my boards back. Add it to the price of the cake.
