MDF cake boards Ø25cm - 3 mm (10 pcs)

This round MDF cake board by Dasbi, 25 cm across and 3 mm thick, gives your cake a sturdy, neatly finished base. The white top is varnished for direct contact with food, and you choose the edge: black or natural. Boards come in packs of 10, so you always have a few in stock.

Can I place my cake directly on this cake 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.

Which cake does a 25 cm board suit?

A 25 cm board suits a cake baked in a 20 or 21 cm tin. The board is then larger than the cake, so you have room all round for buttercream and decoration, and you can lift the cake without touching its sides.

Which edge suits my cake?

The black edge gives a crisp contrast with light fondant and buttercream. The natural edge shows the MDF and suits a naked cake or a rustic style. Both versions have the same white top and are 3 mm thick.

How heavy can the cake be?

The manufacturer recommends this 3 mm board 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 cake, choose the 25 cm MDF cake board, 6 mm thick. The board fits the tall cake box with handle, 25 x 25 x 35 cm, and the combo deals include cake boxes with matching boards.

Material, food contact and disposal

The cake board is made of MDF with a white top finished 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.
