Cake Board Preparation

For round, square and sheet cakes, you don't need to cut the cake board. Just use a board that is 2 inches larger than your cake. (If the cake is 8 in. diameter, buy a 10 in. round board.) For shaped cakes, you will need to cut a board to fit: Turn pan upside down and trace onto your cake board, leaving 1 in. extra around the edges. Cut board with a craft knife. Next, trace the cut board onto Fanci-Foil Wrap, making outlines 3-4 inches larger than the board.

Now, wrap the board: Cut Fanci-Foil along outline. Place your board, white side down, on top of your cut foil. Cut deep slits at several points along foil edge, creating tabs of foil to wrap neatly around the board. Secure foil tabs to the board with tape.
