Cake drums?

I cannot help you with that one, Angel. I make mine out of cardboard packaging boxes that I get from the grocery store…..cut the number of pieces necessary to give me the thickness I want, glue them together with hot glue and tape the edges to be sure they are tight, cover with two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil, then cover with fondant and trim the edges with ribbon. If I did a lot of cakes, I know this would not work, but with the limited number that I do, it works very well and I can get the exact size and shape that I want.

I do know Angel that you can buy them online. Amazon, Global Sugar Art are two. Sure there are more. You’ll have to investigate for the best price. I’m fortunate enough that I can get mine from a few stores near me. If your using for just you, not customers, you can do what Sandra does and make your own. I’ve done it too, pretty easy. If for paying customers, buy your cake drums in bulk and incude the cost in your cake price.

I definitely wouldn’t have time to make them, although that is a great idea. I found them on GSA for $2.99 each for the 12" if I buy in multiples of 12..that’s for the 1/2". The 1/4" are $1.49 in same multiples. Wondering which thickness would be better…what do you guys think?

I’d go 1/2" because if you have a heavy cake, you’ll end up doubling the 1/4" anyway….

True…thanks Miss June.

I agree with June…1/2". That is about what I shoot for when building my own.

Just ordered the 1/2" thanks!

👍👍

Dallas Foam, Global Sugar Art, Sweetwise all sell nice cake drums. I prefer the ones from dallas foam because they are not wrapped in the foil paper. This lets me put scrap book paper covered in contact paper a lot better.

I do know AC Moore or Michaels also sells limited size cake drums. I believe they carry the 12" drums

I’ll check those out too Jennifer! Thanks…never thought about contact paper..great idea
