MDF cake boards square 25cm - 3 mm (5 pcs)

With this square MDF cake board by Dasbi, 25 x 25 cm and 3 mm thick, you can present and pack a square birthday cake neatly in one go. It is white right up to the edge and comes in packs of 5.

Which cake does a 25 cm square board suit?

Besides square and round cakes, a square board is also very well suited to a heart-shaped cake, such as a vintage or Lambeth-style heart cake. A 25 cm square board suits a square cake baked in a 20 of 21 cm tin, or a round cake of that size. That leaves room all round for buttercream and decoration. The board fits in the white shop window cake box of 25 x 25 x 15 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 3 mm boards for cakes up to about 2.5 kg, depending on the shape of the cake, how the weight is spread and how you carry it. For a heavier square cake, choose a 6 mm board.

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.
