White cake boards
There are 34 products.
White cake boards are the unobtrusive but indispensable helpers behind every successful cake. Whether it is a simple birthday cake, a cream gateau or a multi-tier wedding cake, a thin white board gives the cake support, makes it easier to move and lets colours and decorations look fresh and crisp. White suits every occasion and every decoration, which is why thin cake boards and cake cards belong in every baking drawer, whether you bake now and then or regularly make cakes for family, clubs or customers.
A wide choice of shapes and sizes
In this category you will find thin round white cake boards from 16 to 36 cm in diameter, including 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32 and 36 cm. There are also white cake cards from Ø 12 to 30 cm, available depending on size in a handy set of 10 or a pack of 50, ideal if you prepare lots of cakes, mini cakes or slices. For tiered constructions, round white cake boards with a central hole come in 10, 12, 15 and 20 cm. For a romantic touch, choose the heart-shaped cake board with Ø 25 cm or the pearl white heart board with Ø 30 cm. The range is completed by a set of 5 reversible round boards in kraft and white, plus white cake bases with Ø 26 cm in a set of 10.
Ideas: what are white cake boards for?
- Between the tiers of a tiered cake: each tier sits on its own thin board, so the cake can be stacked, transported and later taken apart neatly.
- For cream and mousse cakes: the cake is filled and coated directly on the board and can then go in and out of the fridge without risk.
- For mini cakes and tartlets: small cake cards from Ø 12 cm are perfect for bento cakes, smash cakes for a first birthday or small cakes to give away.
- For Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or weddings: the heart boards in white and pearl white present heart-shaped cakes lovingly.
- For markets and sales: with the packs of 50 you always have enough boards to hand for bazaars, school fairs or a farm shop.
How to: building your cake
- Choose the right size: as a hidden layer, the board should match the cake diameter exactly so it disappears under the buttercream. For display it can be 2 to 4 cm larger.
- Secure the cake: spread a little buttercream or ganache on the board before placing the first sponge layer on top.
- Support the tiers: for tiered cakes, insert support dowels into the lower tier and place the next tier with its board on top.
- Use the central hole: boards with a hole in the middle are suitable, for example, for constructions with a continuous central dowel.
Combining with other boards
Thin white boards and sturdy cake drums complement each other perfectly: the bottom cake sits on a thick drum, the upper tiers on thin white cake boards. With the reversible kraft and white boards you can choose between a natural look and classic white to suit the style, perfect for naked cakes or rustic weddings. White stays neutral next to coloured, silver or gold boards and can therefore be combined freely with other colours from the range.
Buying guide: what to look out for
First think about what you need the board for. As a hidden layer, the exact diameter matters most, as a visible base a nice border. If you bake often, the packs of 50 cake cards are good value, if you are planning just one cake, the set of 10 is enough. For heart-shaped cakes, a matching heart board is worthwhile, as a round board under a heart quickly looks untidy. For tiered cakes, plan one board per tier and note the diameters before ordering. And remember that the finished cake, board included, needs to fit into the cake box.
Frequently asked questions about white cake boards
What is the difference between a cake board and a cake card?
Both are thin bases. Cake cards come in sets of 10 or 50 and are particularly handy if you prepare many cakes or need to support the tiers of a tiered cake.
What size do I need for a tiered cake?
One board per tier in the exact diameter of the sponge, for example 25, 20 and 15 cm. Ideally the bottom tier sits on a thick cake drum.
What is the central hole for?
It lets you pass a dowel through that connects several tiers and stabilises the cake.
Are there heart-shaped white cake boards?
Yes, a heart-shaped board with Ø 25 cm and a pearl white heart board with Ø 30 cm.
Are the boards available in larger quantities?
Many cake cards come in packs of 50, others in sets of 10, so you will find the right quantity for home baking and larger events.
