Culpitt 8" Round Silver Cake Drum Board & White Cake Box Combo
The Culpitt 8" Round Silver Cake Drum Board & White Cake Box Combo is a straightforward, practical way to present and transport a homemade celebration cake, whether that’s a birthday bake, a Christmas cake or a cake for any other special occasion. Don’t risk damage in transit: this cake drum and box combo is affordable, easy to store, and built for the everyday needs of home bakers and cake decorators alike.
The cake board is a 12mm (1.2cm) thick silver cake drum, the strongest type of board Culpitt makes, finished with a decorative silver foil pattern that suits festive presentation as well as everyday celebrations. As a general guide, the 8" drum is sized for a 5" fruit cake, ideal for a traditional Christmas cake, or a 6" sponge cake, giving you a stable, food safe base that can take the weight of a well-filled or heavier tiered bake without flexing.
The matching white cake box is plain and windowless, keeping your decorated cake fully protected from knocks, dust and light during transport or while it waits to be served over the festive season. It arrives flat-packed for easy storage and is simple to assemble: the base is pre-folded with die-cut tabs that slot into place, while the separate flat-packed lid is pre-folded and glued so it opens straight into shape, giving a high-quality finish every time. Assembled, the box measures 8" (L) x 8" (W) x 6" (H).
This board and box combo suits fruit cakes and sponge cakes, Christmas cakes, celebration bakes, batches of cupcakes or traybakes, and is a handy option whether you are making your first Christmas cake or you decorate cakes all year round. Culpitt has been manufacturing cake boards, boxes and cake decorating essentials in Northumberland, Great Britain, for over 100 years, so you can rely on consistent quality from the wider Culpitt cake boards and cards range.
