How to choose the right support diameter?
For a professional finish, choose a support slightly larger than your cake. This makes it easier to handle the pastry and achieve a clean border around the dessert.
- Entremets: choose a support 1 to 2 cm larger than the diameter of the cake.
- Layer cake: allow 2 to 4 cm of margin depending on the decoration.
- Wedding cake: use a disk suited to each tier, without excessive overhang.
- Tart: choose a size close to the mold to maintain a fine presentation.
A margin that is too wide can make the presentation less refined. A margin that is too narrow complicates handling and transport.
Resistance to cold, moisture, and creams
The protective coating of the white cake board limits the absorption of moisture and fats. It is therefore suitable for presenting desserts, tarts, mousses, creams, ganaches, mascarpone whipped cream and desserts kept in the refrigerator.
However, the base must not be immersed or placed on a wet surface. To preserve its stability, always place the cake on a perfectly dry board.
If the coating is cut with a knife, the cardboard can absorb more moisture. In this case, it is better not to reuse the base for a new presentation.
Cleaning and reusing the white cake board
This base can be reused if its coating remains intact. After use, remove any residue cream or biscuit with a flexible spatula, then clean the surface with a slightly damp and a little dish soap.
- Do not soak in water.
- Do not wash in the dishwasher.
- Do not scrape with a blade or abrasive sponge.
- Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Do not reuse if the coating is cut, swollen, or damaged.
Gentle cleaning helps extend the life of the base, especially when it has been used only for a cold or dry presentation.
