Cake Board Preparation
For round, square and sheet cakes, you don't need to cut the cake board. Simply use a board that is 2 inches larger than your cake. (For example, if the cake is 8 in. diameter, buy a 10 in. round board.)

For any shaped cakes, cut a board to fit: Turn the pan upside down and trace onto your cake board, leaving 1 inch extra around the edges. Cut board with a craft knife. Next, trace the cut board onto Fanci-Foil Wrap, making the outline 3-4 inches larger than the board.

Cut Fanci-Foil along the outline. Place your board, white side down, on top of your cut foil. Cut deep slits at several points along foil edge, creating tabs of foil to wrap neatly around the board. Secure foil tabs to the board with tape.
