Shop White Cake Boards by Size
We keep four sizes: 8, 10, 12 and 14 inch. The 10 inch white cake board is the one most people buy. Prices start at £8.99 and climb with the size and the pack. Scroll down for the quick rule on matching a board to your cake.
Round White Cake Boards
All our white boards are round. Round white cake boards suit birthday and celebration cakes, and they sit neatly under a round box. A white round cake board also works under each layer of a tiered cake. For a square base or a heavier 12mm option, see our Cake Drums page.
White Masonite Cake Boards
Our white boards are glossy masonite, and that word matters. Masonite is a pressed wood-fibre board, much stronger than a thin cake card. It stays dead flat and won’t bow under a decorated cake. That’s why these thick white cake boards are a wedding favourite. White masonite gives a clean base with no foil edge, so nothing pulls the eye off the cake.
Each white masonite cake board wipes clean and reuses, which keeps your costs down.
One honest tip: don’t leave a cake sat on masonite overnight. Oil from the cake can mark the surface over long hours, so board it up closer to serving time.
White Board or White Drum?
People muddle these two. A white cake board here is 4mm, right for most everyday and single-tier cakes. The white drum is 12mm, made for heavy fruit cakes and the base of a stack. That extra depth carries more weight then a 4mm board without flexing. The 12mm drums live on our Cake Drums page.
What Size White Cake Board Do I Need?
Go 2 inches bigger than a sponge cake. For a heavy fruit cake, go 3 inches bigger for more support. So a 10 inch cake usually sits on a 12 inch board. The 10 and 12 inch get reordered alot by cake studios.
White vs Silver Cake Boards
Same 4mm board, just a different top. White is glossy masonite, clean and neutral for modern cakes and weddings. Silver has a shiny foil-style finish with a more classic look. Both are round and reusable, so pick on the style you want. Our Silver Cake Boards page has that range. Browse the full Cake Boards range to compare silver and white side by side.
