A Cake Base is a thick piece of material designed to support cakes or even cupcakes to improve the presentation and make transportation easier. It is a flat support placed under a cake, to make it easy to lift and transport. Cake boards come in different sizes and shapes. They look extremely elegant and are a great alternative from the usual silver bases. They are a must for any type of cake that requires structure so many sculpted cakes, gravity defying cakes and maybe if people are doing an insanely tall tiered cake. The Cake Base is very safe and useful.
