What size cake board do you actually need?

It sounds simple… until your finished cake is too close to the edge, awkward to carry, or doesn’t fit the box.

A good starting point is to choose a cake board at least 2 inches larger than your cake — but cake height, weight, decorations and transport can all change what works best.

For example:

• 6" cake → start with an 8" board
• 8" cake → start with a 10" board
• 10" cake → start with a 12" board

Tall cakes, heavy mud cakes, tiered cakes or cakes with lots of decoration may need a larger or thicker board for extra support.

We’ve put together a simple guide covering:

✨ Cake board sizing
✨ Tall and heavy cakes
✨ Cake boards vs cake drums
✨ Tiered cakes
✨ Matching your board to your cake box
