Professional instructions
Choosing the optimal diameter
Calculation formula:
- "Edge to edge" presentation: Drum = exact cake diameter
- Presentation with decoration: Drum = cake diameter + 5 to 10cm
- Stacked cakes: Each tier on a drum at least 5cm larger in diameter
Practical examples:
- Cake 20cm → Drum 25cm (for decorative border)
- Cake 30cm → Drum 35cm (for ribbon or flowers)
- Wedding cake base 35cm → Drum 40cm (for optimal stability)

Professional finish:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from a classic cake board?
The drum is 12mm thick compared to 3mm for a cake board. This extra sturdiness is essential for heavy cakes, secure transport, and tiered constructions.
Can the drum support very moist cakes?
Yes, the white coating is waterproof. For maximum safety and to facilitate reuse, place a rhodoid sheet between the drum and the cake.
How many times can a drum be reused?
8-15 times depending on care taken. Using a protective barrier (parchment paper) significantly extends the lifespan.
