Cake card: thin support for cakes
Thin cake cards to separate layers, support a dessert, or present a pastry slice.
What is a cake card for
The cake card is a thin and light support. It is slipped between the layers of a cake to distribute weight, under a dessert to handle it, or under a slice to present it. Thin, it visually disappears while supporting the pastry.
Sizes and uses
Available in round and square, in various diameters. It is chosen to match the exact size of the cake or layer. On tiered cakes, the card is combined with a cake drum at the base and support rods.
