Frequently Asked Questions

What size cake fits a 28 x 16 inch rectangle board?

Use the 2 inch overhang rule. A 28 x 16 inch (71.1 x 40.6cm) rectangle masonite board suits a 26 x 14 inch (66.0 x 35.6cm) rectangle cake, leaving about 1 inch (2.5cm) visible around each edge. This border gives room for piped borders, drips or ribbon and makes lifting and boxing easier. Unsure how much icing you need? Check our icing & fondant coverage chart.

Masonite vs scalloped cake boards - what's the difference?

Masonite boards are 3-6mm thick compressed hardboard, rigid and designed to carry decorated cake weight without flexing. They are the go-to for stacking tiers with dowels and heavy sheet cakes. Scalloped boards are thinner decorative display boards with a wavy edge for single-tier presentation, not for stacking. Use masonite under every tier and finish with a 12mm drum board base for large cakes. Browse the full cake boards collection.
