Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a black cake board under a fondant-covered cake?

Yes — matte black masonite boards are food safe and grease resistant, making them perfectly suited for direct contact with fondant, buttercream, and ganache-covered cakes. The board will not stain or absorb moisture from your cake layers.

What cake size suits a 8 inch round black board?

A 8 inch round board typically suits a 6 inch cake, leaving approximately 2–3 cm of board visible around the base. This overhang creates a polished look and gives room to add ribbon or a decorative border to the edge.
