The 3 mm thickness is the standard size for light to medium cakes. More rigid than simple cardboard, this silver cake board prevents bending and cracking during moving, glazing, or serving.

• Professional finish: embossed aluminum coating that subtly reflects light and enhances the colors of glazes, ganaches, and fondant decorations.
• Controlled rigidity: 3 mm high-density compressed cardboard for stable support of entremets, mousses, bavarians, and tarts without visually weighing down the presentation.
• Discreet under the cake: thin enough not to break proportions, ideal when the cake is the centerpiece (no unsightly visible edge).
• Food-safe: waterproof silver film, resistant to the grease of buttercreams and the moisture of bavarians.
• Reusable: a wipe with a damp sponge is enough if the surface has not been cut by the knife blade.

This size is ideal for discovering the world of cake design or for equipping a workshop with versatile presentation bases. To go further in decoration, explore our rolled fondants and our cake design molds and accessories.

The best practice is to choose a base 2 to 4 cm wider than the cake. This makes handling easier without touching the icing and leaves room for a decorative border (pearls, ribbon, flowers).

• Ø 10 to 15 cm: individual mini entremets, travel cakes, single portions for display or sweet buffet.
• Ø 17.5 to 22.5 cm: most versatile sizes, perfect for family entremets serving 6 to 8 and light layer cakes in 2 to 3 thin tiers.
• Ø 25 to 27.5 cm: large birthday cakes for 10 to 12 servings, generous tarts, San Sebastian-style cheesecakes.
• Ø 30.5 to 35 cm: large reception entremets, intermediate base for some assemblies, buffet presentation.

For recipes suited to these formats, take a look at our guides like the vanilla Molly Cake recipe, an ideal base for layer cakes placed on Cake Boards.

This is the question almost every beginner in cake design asks. The answer depends on the weight of the cake and the desired visual effect.

• Cake Board 3 mm (this sheet): entremets, mousses, bavarois, tarts, cheesecakes, simple birthday cakes, thin layer cakes. Discreet, economical, perfect when the cake is the main visual element.
• Cake Drum 12 mm: Wedding Cakes, sugar paste creations, tiered cakes. The thick base creates a strong visual foundation and supports heavy loads. See our dedicated section Cake Drum 12 mm.

Workshop tip: for tiered cakes, both are often combined. The Cake Drum 12 mm serves as the main base, and each tier rests on an intermediate Cake Board 3 mm to ensure support and facilitate cutting.

For fully decorative pieces (display, photo, wedding), also consider Polystyrene Cake Dummies that simulate tiers without pastry.

1. Preparation: place the Cake Board on a turntable to facilitate icing and decorating.
2. Placing the cake: put a small dab of icing or melted chocolate in the center of the base to "fix" the cake and prevent it from sliding during transport.
3. Serving: prefer a serving spatula over a serrated knife to preserve the silver film and be able to reuse the base.
4. Cleaning: wipe with a damp sponge and a little dish soap, then dry immediately. Do not soak or put in the dishwasher.
5. Storage: store bases flat, in a dry place, away from moisture to preserve the rigidity of the cardboard.
