A Heavy Duty Cake Board for a Half Sheet Cake.

Constructing a Heavy Duty Cake Board for under $4

I bought 3 sheets of foam core board at the local dollar store for $3. This will make two  cake boards that cost $1.50 each. I used a metal ruler and a razor knife to cut each sheet of foam core board in half. 

Three half sheets of foam core board ,covered with heavy duty aluminum foil,  make a sturdy cake board for a half sheet cake. 

A half sheet of foam core board is the perfect size for a half sheet cake cake board. The narrow sides will be slightly narrower than the long sides.

•  Bill helped me cut the foam core boards in half,on the thirty inch side. 
• I stacked three pieces of foam core board
• wrapped them in heavy duty aluminum foil
•  and used clear packing tape to tape down the aluminum foil on the bottom of the cake board. 

Voila! A heavy duty cake board that will stand up to a two inch thick, 12 x 18 inch cake.
