Cake board boxes are a crucial part of any cake decorating project, and choosing the right one can make all the difference in presentation and durability.
A cake board box is typically made of cardboard or foam board, and its size depends on the size of the cake it will hold. Cake boards are usually available in standard sizes, but custom sizes can also be ordered for larger or more intricate cakes.
To ensure your cake stays fresh and secure, a cake board box should have a smooth, even surface and a sturdy base. This prevents the cake from shifting or getting damaged during transportation.
Choosing a Cake Board
If you're looking for a standard size, consider a 13″ x 10″ inch rectangle cake board, which is often sold as a 13″ inch box.
These boards are ideal for smaller cakes, but if you need a larger one, you can opt for a 16″ x 12″ inch rectangle or an 18″ x 14″ inch rectangle.
When selecting a cake board, keep in mind that the size you choose will depend on the size of your cake and the presentation you want to achieve.
You can find these sizes in the examples provided, and it's worth noting that the right board and box for your cake can make a big difference in how it looks and feels.
