How to use the rectangular base
Procedure for optimal use of the 30x40cm rectangular base:
- Step 1: place the base on a flat, stable surface
- Step 2: apply a thin layer of royal icing or ganache in the center to fix the cake
- Step 3: place the cake in the center, press lightly for adhesion
- Step 4: decorate the base edge with satin ribbon or piped ganache
- Step 5: for transport, secure the cake with a dab of icing to prevent slipping
- Step 6: transport in a suitable box (see our pastry box collection)
Tip: decorate the base edge
The base edge deserves special attention for a professional look:
- Satin ribbon: attach a ribbon (10-15mm wide) around the edge with edible glue or double-sided tape. Color matched to the cake
- Piped ganache border: pipe a ganache or buttercream border all around the cake base
- Sprinkle border: sprinkle mini beads or pearls at the cake-base junction
- Gold leaf: apply gold leaf fragments for a luxury finish
- Edible flowers: place sugar flowers around the cake base
See our gold leaf and glitter or our pearl collection for luxury finishes.
Load capacity and durability
The 3mm thickness of the Azucren rectangular base ensures excellent strength:
- Load capacity: up to 8-10kg without deformation (equivalent to a 3-tier wedding cake)
- Moisture resistance: protective coating against cream or ganache transfer
- Transport stability: does not bend during handling
- Flat surface guaranteed: no warping during use
- Recommendation: for 4+ tier wedding cakes, double the base or use a 12mm cake drum
For the heaviest cakes, see our thick 12mm cake drums.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the base safe for direct food contact?
Yes, the coating complies with EU standards for direct food contact. However, it is recommended to place a layer of royal icing or ganache between the cake and the base for optimal adhesion and hygiene.
Can you cut on the base?
No, do not cut directly on the base. The cardboard is not designed to withstand the knife blade. Unmold the cake onto a cutting board before serving.
Is the base refrigerator safe?
Yes, short durations (24-48h). For long-term storage, prefer a food-grade plastic or metal support.
Can the base be customized?
Yes, you can customize it with a satin ribbon glued around the edge, decorated parchment paper, or piped ganache all around the cake base.
Is the 30x40 base large enough for a 3-tier wedding cake?
Yes, perfect for a 3-tier wedding cake 25-22-18cm in diameter. For 4 tiers with a 30cm base, prefer a 35x45cm base or a cake drum.
