Pastry Colours: cake boards, supports, and flavorings
Cake boards, round supports (drums), and concentrated flavorings from the Pastry Colours brand, for presenting and flavoring a cake.
Cake boards and supports
Cake boards (round or rectangular, plain or patterned with a wood- or metal-effect finish) serve as a rigid base for placing and transporting a cake. The thicker drum boards are suitable for multi-tiered cakes.
Concentrated flavorings
Concentrated flavorings (pistachio, orange blossom) are added in small quantities to a paste, filling, or icing to add flavor without altering the texture.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a cake board and a drum? A cake board is thin and serves as a lightweight presentation base; a drum, which is thicker and more rigid, supports the weight of a multi-tiered cake during transport.
How should a concentrated flavoring be measured? A few drops are generally enough for a standard preparation; it is best to add it gradually and taste before adding more.
Can patterned cake boards withstand direct contact with sugar paste?
Yes, the surface is designed for food contact; however, placing paper or a plain cake board under the cake remains useful for preserving the pattern after use.
