Masonite Cake Board —The most powerful! If you need super strong and thin boards, this is the way to go! Masonite cake boards or MDF cake boards are much more durable than cardboard cake boards. Masonite cake boards are usually about 2mm-6mm thick.
Masonite cake boards are made from compressed wood fibers and are very strong, which is why they can hold the weight of an entire cake. MDF cake boards are great for layered cakes. When making cakes with more than 2 layers, your decorating board should be at least 2 inches larger than your cake, and ideally even bigger. Patterned cake boards can be purchased in different colors.
