Cake Cards
Cake cards, which are lighter and thinner than cake boards,
are used to stack layers of cake, such as in a tiered wedding cake. To support
each layer, use cake dowels or pillars.
Smaller cake cards are ideal for presenting cupcakes and small cakes.
Our cake cards range in thickness from 1mm to 2mm and are
ideal for presenting smaller cakes or for use between tiered cake layers.
These cards, finished with a cut or turned edge, are a
smaller and thinner alternative to cake boards. Alternatively, if you need to
transport your homemade cakes safely, take a look at our great value cake boxes,
and cupcake boxes.
Cake boards, cake
drums, and cake cards are essential for both professional and home bakers,
as they provide a quality presentation and finish as well as support for a freshly
baked sponge cake.
We have round and square thin cake cards in a variety of
sizes that are perfect for putting your finished cake on to decorate.
The various sizes enable tiered cakes to be presented with
style and finesse while keeping the design in place. Here at Windsor Cake Craft, we stock cut edge cards,
single
thick cards, double thick
cards and bio
cards.
FAQs
1.
What is a Cake Card?
Have you ever heard of a cake card? It might sound like a
strange concept, but it's actually a helpful tool for bakers. Essentially, cake
cards are thin, flat pieces of food-grade material that can be inserted between
each layer of a cake. These cards provide a sturdy base for the cake layers to
rest on, and also help to create uniform, level tiers. This is especially
important for multi-layered cakes that need to be stacked on top of each other.
By using cake cards, bakers can ensure that their cakes look polished and
professional, with perfectly even layers. So the next time you're baking a
cake, consider picking up a set of cake cards to take your presentation to the
next level.

What is the Difference Between Cake Cards
and Cake Drums?
Cake cards and cake drums are both essential parts of
presenting a cake, but they serve different purposes. Cake cards are thin,
single-layered cardboard circles that are used to provide additional support to
the cake while it is being transported. Cake Cards are utilised to stack cake
layers, as in a layered wedding cake. On the other hand, cake drums are thick,
multi-layered and are often made of compressed cardboard or foam boards. These
provide a sturdy base for the cake when it is being displayed, especially for
larger or heavier cakes. Knowing the difference between these two can help
bakers or cake decorators in making the right choice for their cake
presentation needs.
3.
Are Cake Cards Reusable?
You may have seen cake cards used between layers of a cake,
but have you ever wondered if they are reusable? Cake cards, also known as cake
boards, are typically made of cardboard or foam and are used to separate the
layers of a cake, providing stability and support. While it may be tempting to
save money by reusing these cake cards, it is not recommended. Cake cards can
become damaged or covered in food residue, which can make them unsanitary for
future use. It is important to use fresh, clean cake cards for each cake you
bake. But don't worry, cake cards are easily accessible and inexpensive, so you
can stock up on them without breaking the bank.
