Cake Boards! Cake Boards! Cake Boards!

My Etsy store is NOW OPEN!!! Please visit at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/laurapoopie?ref=si_shop

This is how I have been cutting my cake boards lately. My Dad gave me a Craftsman 16" single speed scroll saw that he didn't need anymore and it has literally been a heaven sent! No more cutting cake boards with an Xacto knife! Those days are long gone! I use 1/4' foam core for the actual cake boards and I use the 1/2" foam core for the cake bases. I also use the scroll saw to cut your basic carboard cake boards but I don't tend to use those very much anymore. Man, this has really cut my prep work exponentially! Now, I just have to pray that I don't accidentally chop off a finger! LOL! :)

Hi Laura, Just wondering, do you put the cake directly on the foam core boards instead of a cardboard cake board?

[laurapoopie]

Hi! I put the cake itself directly on cardboard cake boards. The foam core boards are used only as the cake bases. :)

where do you buy your foam core? the 1/2 inch

[laurapoopie]

I usually purchase it at Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

HI! The cake boards are the actual thin boards that go UNDER each tier. The cake boards are the HUGE ones at the bottom that the entire cake sits on. That's what you actually use to carry and lift the cake. :) Hope this helps. :0)

you wrote in your video description: "I use 1/4' foam core for the actual cake boards and I use the 1/2" foam core for the cake bases"...I was wondering what is the difference between cake boards and cake bases? please and thank you =]

I know what you mean about not having space! LOL! I keep this scroll saw under the table and then take it out every time I'm gonna use it. :)

you can even glue your foam boards together before you cut them.. fabulous!! i wish i had the SPACE for it... unfortunately, my little condo is running out of room for all my cake stuff... ^_^ meanwhile, i'll be xacto-ing my way through cake boards for now =)
