MDF cake boards Ø25cm - 6 mm (10 pcs)

This round MDF cake board by Dasbi, 25 cm across and 6 mm thick, is twice as thick as a 3 mm board. The white top with black edge gives your cake a crisp contrast, and boards come in packs of 10.

Which cake does a 25 cm, 6 mm board suit?

A 25 cm board suits a cake baked in a 20 or 21 cm tin, with room all round for buttercream and decoration. At 6 mm thick it suits a heavier, richly filled cake. It fits the tall cake box with handle, 25 x 25 x 35 cm.

Can my cake sit directly on the board?

Yes, your cake can sit directly on the varnished white top. According to the Dasbi technical data sheet, the varnish is suitable for dry, moist, acidic and fatty foods, so also for sponge, fresh fruit, jam, buttercream and ganache. The edge and the underside are not intended for contact with food.

How heavy can the cake be?

The manufacturer recommends 6 mm boards for cakes up to about 10 kg, taking size, weight distribution and transport into account. For a two-tier cake, Dasbi advises using internal supports. For a lighter cake, a 3 mm board is enough.

Material, food contact and disposal

The cake board is made of MDF with a white finish; the top is coated with a food contact varnish. Only that varnished top is suitable for direct contact with food; the edge, the underside and any damaged spots in the varnish are not. According to the Dasbi declaration, the sum of lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium in the MDF, varnish and dyes is below 100 mg/kg. In the Netherlands, MDF does not go with waste paper or organic waste: put the board in the residual waste after use, or take larger amounts to the municipal recycling centre.
