What Is The Largest Cake Board, Circle Size

Mikel79 Posted 8 Jun 2009 , two:14am

Hi All!

Please help me. How practise you cut a lath to fit your block? For example, I take a eight" circular cake and a viii" block circle. After the cake is baked, it is about 1/4" smaller than the cake circle. The cake pan is the verbal same size equally the board, so I am unable to trace the outline of the pan to cutting information technology.

I have watched a lot of youtube videos and come across that the cake boards are "flushed" with the cake. The cake boards are EXACTLY the same sizes. I have read countless posts nigh how the cake boards demand to exist "cut to fit". Merely how is this achieved??

Any assistance is appreciated...

=)

I cutting them with a pair of kitchen scsissors flush to the crumbcoat. And so I practise my second glaze then the board is subconscious, peculiarly for the upper tiers of a cake.

I honestly don't worry about that tiny difference. Your cake shrinks a little bit from the pan size. (Every bit a side note: if it is overbaked it will shrink more)

Hello Tonedna!

Cheers for the tip. Let me simply make sure I take information technology correct. After you crumbcoat your cake do you choice the unabridged block upward in 1 manus and cut the lath with the scissors in the other? If that is the example, accept you lot e'er accidentally dropped your block?

Thank you again...

Are you stacking tiers? If so, this is what I do:

Once the cake is decorated, simply slide information technology off of the edge of the counter most an inch, align pair of scissors with edge of cake and angle scissors abroad from the block (forming a "V" between the cake on i side and blade on the other), and snip. The bending should snip off but enough nether neath the edge of the cake so that the board isn't visible.

BE Conscientious though that your block doesn't fall!!!

Thanks for the tip. Allow me only make sure I have it correct. Subsequently y'all crumbcoat your cake do you selection the entire cake up in one mitt and cutting the board with the scissors in the other? If that is the case, have you ever accidentally dropped your block?

Thank you over again...

No, I never dropped a cake, but if yous have a heavy one that you lot tin can't hold in your hand, place it on the border of your turn tabular array. It will aid.

It's expert that the cake is slightly smaller than the board. Y'all simply keep applying layers of crumbcoat, smoothing in betwixt with a smoother at right angles to the lath until the cake is the same size.
In other words, build the cake out to the same size as the cake board. You finish up with perfectly smooth and directly sides, especially if y'all coat with ganache. It also keeps your final board clean, simply pick up the cake and place on the larger board.

I put one of the cakes down on the cake lath and so trace around it. I put the cake somewhere safety and so I cut the outline out with sissors. I'm only a hobby baker (so nosotros take a few bites and throw the cake in the trash mostly because we brand too many cakes). Anyway,I don't know if that would work with food condom rules and stuff.
