Gold cake boards
There are 34 products.
Gold cake boards are the first choice when a cake needs to look truly festive and luxurious. The warm gold tone flatters chocolate, caramel and fruit, makes white fondant glow and instantly gives even a simple cake a special frame. Golden wedding anniversary, milestone birthday, Christmas, New Year's Eve or a company jubilee: on a gold base, the cake takes centre stage. The thin boards are light, easy to store and serve both as a visible display surface and as a hidden layer in a tiered cake. That makes them part of the basic kit for anyone who likes baking for special occasions.
The range at a glance
Here you will find thin round gold cake boards in 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32 and 36 cm, plus a 25 cm gold board. A real eye-catcher is the 30 cm gold board with a scalloped edge, whose playful outline is reminiscent of classic patisserie boards. Thin silver/gold boards are available in 20, 26, 30 and 36 cm. The round gold/black cake bases are very versatile: they come in Ø 12 to 30 cm and, depending on size, in packs of 5, 10 or 50. The selection is completed by a set of 6 round reversible boards in gold and black, a set of 4 round double-sided boards in gold and black, and small round gold/black boards for tartlets and desserts.
Ideas: occasions for gold boards
- Golden weddings and jubilees: a cream-white cake with gold sugar pearls, touches of gold leaf or a gold number 50 looks perfectly matched on a gold board.
- Christmas: red, dark green and gold are the classic Christmas colours. A Christmas cake with stars or fir sprigs shines particularly beautifully on gold.
- New Year's Eve: black and gold create a glamorous look, ideal for cakes with a clock, fireworks or champagne motif.
- Birthdays: for an 18th, 30th or 50th birthday, gold highlights the special moment, for example under a drip cake with a golden sheen.
- Dessert table and drinks reception: the small gold/black boards present mini cakes, tartlets or single slices just like in a patisserie.
Practical tips
- Two sides, two styles: with the reversible and double-sided boards you can decide at the last minute whether to present the cake on gold or black.
- Size for the border: if a gold frame should be visible, choose a board 2 to 5 cm larger than the cake. For hidden layers, use exactly the cake diameter.
- Keep the shine: place the cake with a wide cake lifter so the surface does not get scratches or buttercream marks.
- Stock up: if you often sell or give away cakes, the packs of 50 gold/black bases are especially practical.
Combinations that work
Gold goes with white, cream, burgundy, emerald green, navy blue and of course black. A dark chocolate cake on a gold board looks elegant and timeless, while a light vanilla cake with fresh berries looks warm and inviting. For tiered cakes, put the bottom tier on a sturdy base and use the thin gold boards between the tiers. If you want to combine gold and silver, for example for a golden wedding cake with silver accents, choose the silver/gold boards. And the scalloped edge adds a nostalgic touch to the coffee table.
Buying guide: what to look out for
First clarify the size and weight of your cake. Thin boards are ideal for single-tier cakes, tartlets and as hidden layers, while heavy tiered cakes need a thicker base. Then consider whether you want gold only or prefer to stay flexible: the gold/black versions offer two looks in one product. The different pack sizes from 5 to 50 help with quantities. Also make sure the finished cake, board included, fits into the cake box so the gold border stays intact during transport.
