Frequently Asked Questions

What size cake board do I need for a 4 or 5 inch cake?

A 6 inch board is the standard choice for a 4 or 5 inch cake. The extra 1–2 inches around the edge gives you room to apply buttercream or fondant edges cleanly and keeps the board from being fully hidden by the decoration. For a tighter look, use a board the same size as the cake and finish the edge with ribbon or a ganache drip.

Can you stack cakes on masonite cake boards?

Yes — masonite boards are the standard choice for tiered cake construction. Place a 3mm masonite board beneath each tier, insert dowels into the tier below before stacking, and use a thick 12mm drum board as the base for your final display. The rigidity of masonite keeps each tier level and stable during decorating, transport, and presentation.
