Price Match

This is a 12-inch square cake board from PME, covered in silver foil and constructed to a 12mm thickness. It is a straightforward, functional board designed to support finished, decorated cakes during presentation and service — preventing the base from flexing or distorting under the weight of the cake above.

In a professional bakery or patisserie setting, board rigidity matters more than it might seem. A board that gives way during transport or plating can damage hours of decoration work. At 12mm thick, this board holds its shape reliably and will not bend or buckle when lifted by the edges, which is the situation where cheaper, thinner boards most commonly fail.

  • Solid 12mm construction resists flexing under a fully decorated cake
  • Foil surface provides a clean, professional presentation finish
  • Square format suits celebration cakes, traybakes, and layered sponges
  • Foil surface can be covered with fondant or ribbon for a more discreet finish
  • Suitable for use under buttercream, ganache, or fondant-covered cakes

The foil finish is standard silver, which works well for most presentation purposes. Where a more neutral or decorated base is preferred, the board can be wrapped with sugarpaste or ribbon before the cake is placed, which is common practice in professional finishing work.

This board is best suited to bakeries, hotel kitchens, and catering operations producing individual celebration cakes or portioned traybakes at the 12-inch scale. For smaller finished cakes, smaller square boards are available in the same range; for larger tiers or display pieces, larger formats may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure which board size or thickness suits your particular application, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Is this board suitable for tiered cakes or heavy fruit cakes?

The 12mm thickness gives this board good rigidity for most single-tier cakes, including denser fruit cakes at the 12-inch scale. For tiered constructions where multiple cake layers are stacked above this board, a thicker drum board is generally the more appropriate choice, as it offers greater structural support under sustained load.

Can the foil surface be used directly under sugarpaste or buttercream?

Yes, the foil surface is suitable for use under both sugarpaste and buttercream-finished cakes. Where a seamless finish is needed at the board edge, many decorators choose to cover the board with a thin layer of sugarpaste before placing the cake, which also softens the silver appearance if preferred.

How does this board fit into a high-volume bakery production workflow?

These boards are a standard consumable in most professional bakery settings — they keep finished cakes stable during decoration, storage, and delivery. For operations producing large quantities, it is worth confirming the board size against your tin sizes to ensure a consistent fit and a clean presentation edge around the finished cake.
