When decorating cakes, I’ve started using the cake board as a guide.  However, the side of it shows.  If you were gonna make a tiered cake with no borders in all buttercream, how would you hide the side of the cake board?  Would you just frost passed it, cut the board smaller, and then just smooth the bottom on the cake after you stack it?Cake Boards

I cut my cake board just slightly smaller than the cake tier, as when doing a double barrel cake, maybe 3/8" smaller.

Yah, as the others said, just cut the board a bit smaller or make your covering icing thicker so the board does not show.

I cut my boards slightly smaller than the cake that will be sitting on it.
