Cake drum: thick cake support
Thick cake drums (12 mm) to serve as a solid base for heavy cakes and tiered cakes, round or square.
What is a cake drum for
The cake drum is a thick (about 12 mm) and rigid support that serves as a base for a heavy cake, a layer cake, or a tiered cake. It bears the weight, secures the transport, and is often decorated with a ribbon around the perimeter for a neat finish.
Choosing your cake drum
Choose a diameter larger than the cake (2 to 5 cm margin) for a nice frame. Round or square depending on the style, in a color that matches the theme. For tiered cakes, the drum serves as the base and is combined with cake cards between the tiers.
