How to Keep a Clean Cake Plate

To have a nice clean cake plate or board after you are finished decorating your cake you need to protect it from spills. See details below on how to protect it with wax paper.
  • Use wax paper to catch the crumbs or other spills that may occur while working with the cake to end up with a clean cake plate or board when you are finished.
  • Cut 4 pieces of wax paper and slide them under the cake on four sides. Slide under just far enough so that the plate or board will be protected on all sides of the cake.
  • The wax paper should remain on the plate or board until you are confident that there isn't a risk of spilling anything or getting frosting on it. But it should be remove before any type of border or decoration is placed along the very bottom edge or you may run the risk of causing damage when the wax paper is slid out from under the cake.
  • To remove the wax paper, slowly slide the paper out by carefully sliding it left to right as you gently pull it out. Do not just pull it out towards you because you will run more of a risk of damaging the bottom edge of the cake and frosting.
