STYROFOAM DUMMY CAKES If you’re using Styrofoam dummy layers, you definitely need a 2” hole; an apple corer is a good tool for this. The center rod will go through the Styrofoam but when you go to remove it, it will be very tight and will lift the cake tier. In general, if you have any doubt that the center rod will go through the material you’re using, pre-drill a hole, and use a regular cardboard cake round with no hole under your cake. When using cake cards, plastic plates, or any hard cakeboard with a pre-drilled hole, you must always use a cardboard cake round with no hole, under your cake so that the CakeSafe center rod can make its own hole through it to stabilize the cake. + any one of these or or Cardboard Cake Drums Coast Cake Plate Cardboard Cake Rounds Cake Cards 2mm 3.5mm CAKEBOARDS WITH PRE-DRILLED HOLES website: www.CakeSafe.com Email: [email protected] Phone: 401-378-8766 To assemble your tiers using cardboard rounds, place your cake on one or two rounds and be sure that you DO NOT pre-drill any holes.
