Technical specifications
- Type: rectangular cake drum
- Thickness: 12 mm — approximately four times that of a thin 3 mm cake board
- Color: white (top, bottom, and edges fully covered)
- Material: high-density multi-layer cardboard, waterproof food-safe coating
- Compliance: suitable for food contact in accordance with EU standards
- Reusable: wipe with a spatula and damp cloth; can be used several times with care
Choosing the right size
For a rectangular drum, allow 4 to 5 cm of clearance beyond the cake dimensions — this space is useful for border decorations (piped ganache, ribbon, flowers) and for handling during transport.
Example: a 30x20cm rectangular cake fits on an approximately 35x25cm drum. A two-digit number cake placed side by side (approximately 30cm in total length) is ideally arranged on a 40x30cm drum.
For number cakes: the two digits placed side by side occupy approximately 15-18cm in width each. A 40x30 or 45x30cm drum comfortably accommodates the standard format.
Uses — rectangular cakes and number cakes
- Rectangular layer cakes: a rigid base for elongated wedding cakes or anniversary cakes, with the option of stacking several tiers using dowels
- Number cakes: biscuit joconde or shortbread digits filled with whipped cream and fruit — the rectangular drum is the standard presentation base
- Sheet cakes and buffet cakes: secure transport for generously sized cakes intended to be cut into portions on site
- Petit-fours platters: an elegant base for an assortment of individual pastries
- Tiered cakes on a rectangular base: a thick drum to support the combined weight of several assembled tiers
Use and care
- Securing the cake: apply a few dots of royal icing or melted chocolate to the center of the drum before placing the cake — this prevents slipping during transport
- Protection: for very moist cakes (mousses, fresh fruit), place a rhodoid sheet or sheet of parchment paper between the drum and the cake
- Cleaning: scrape off residue with a flexible spatula and wipe with a slightly damp cloth — never immerse in water (the cardboard will delaminate)
- Storage: store flat in a dry place away from moisture
