Do you ask customer if they want a fondant covered board? If so do you charge them more for it?
no I don’t ask — as to an upcharge depends on the design but only the edge that shows has to be covered — if it was just a normal covered board no I wouldn’t charge extra — well a couple bucks for the fondant itself but just depends on the overall design — if it had to be striped or something intricate yes definitely — boil it all down it’s a judgement call
I'm with Fabricake. I only make cakes as a hobby, but I always cover the drums they sit on. A simple decorated drum helps to really bring the entire look of the cake together. Nothing brings the look of a cake down, in my opinion, then it sitting on a undecorated cake board or drum. It is like putting on a fancy cocktail dress, doing your hair and makeup and then wearing a pair of dirty flip flops.
I follow a baker on YouTube that has a toilet seat method for her fondant covered boards. Once the cake is in place she then cuts a rolled piece of fondant to look like a toilet seat and then adheres it to the board. Her channel is Little Cherry Cake and she has a tutorial on how she does it, if you are interested.
l always do exactly as kakeladi suggested, cover the board, then cut out a circle in the middle, slightly smaller than the cake. Easy and saves about half of he fondant.
