This is a heavy-duty drum cake board, approximately 0.5 inches thick, designed to support heavier cakes like fruit cakes and multi-tiered wedding cakes. It is recommended to use a drum board that is two inches larger than the largest tier of your cake (e.g., a 14-inch board for a 12-inch cake). Please note that sizes are approximate and may vary slightly. The cake boards are constructed from compressed wood and coated with a food-safe silver foil, allowing cakes to be placed directly on the board. These heart-shaped boards are perfect for romantic occasions.
