Find the perfect drum or cake board for your next cake

Four cake boards laid out — a round silver foil drum, a round white Masonite board, a square silver foil drum and a round silver card, each with the centre hole already cut — shop cake boards.

Everything you need for stacking

Built to work together

Every cake board and cake card comes with the centre hole already cut, ready to fit straight onto your Stacker. No drilling, no guesswork and no ruined boards — just easier, more secure cake stacking.

Step by step

A quick start guide

4 steps, from a bare board to a finished cake ready to travel.

  1. 1. Prepare your boards

    Choose your pre-cut boards and cake cards. Fit the stopper into the base board.

  2. 2. Measure and cut the pipe

    Measure the full finished height of your cake, allowing the pipe to sit roughly halfway into the top tier. Cut the clear pipe to size with sharp scissors.

  3. 3. Stack your cake

    Fit the stopper underneath the base drum and push the pipe firmly onto it. Lower each prepared cake tier straight down over the pipe.

  4. 4. Add the final tier

    Lower the final tier straight down over the pipe. The pipe should only sit half way up inside the top tier. Your cake is now stacked and secure.

From the people using them

Cakes that made it

The cake didn’t move an inch through a very bumpy delivery across country roads. I will certainly be using them again because it works.

I used my Sturdy Cake Stacker this weekend for the first time on a 5 tier wedding cake. I will most definitely be using them for all my large tiered cakes. Thank you, thank you
