Introduction

This guide will help beginners understand how to use the Doric 6 Inch Round Silver Thick Cake Board Drums for cake decorating and presentation. These boards are essential for providing a sturdy base for your cakes.

Materials Needed

• Doric 6 Inch Round Silver Thick Cake Board Drums
• Baked cake
• Frosting or icing
• Offset spatula or icing smoother
• Optional: cake turntable

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Board

• Remove one cake board from the pack.
• Ensure that the board is clean and dry before use.

Step 2: Place the Cake

• Center the cake on the cake board. The board should be slightly larger than the cake to provide a neat border.
• If using a layered cake, ensure each layer is level before stacking.

Step 3: Apply Frosting

• Use an offset spatula or icing smoother to spread a thin layer of frosting (crumb coat) over the cake. This helps to seal in any loose crumbs.
• Refrigerate the cake for 15-20 minutes to set the crumb coat.
• Apply the final layer of frosting, smoothing it evenly around the cake.

Step 4: Decorate the Cake

• Add any additional decorations, such as sprinkles, piped designs, or edible flowers.
• Ensure that decorations are securely attached to the frosting.

Step 5: Present and Serve

• Carefully transfer the cake, along with the board, to a cake stand or serving platter.
• Use the sturdy board to easily transport the cake to its destination.

Tips for Best Results

• Always use a cake board that is larger than the cake for a professional look.
• The silver finish of the board adds an elegant touch to your presentation.
• Store unused boards in a cool, dry place to prevent warping.
