I'm re-creating my sister's wedding cake for her 30th anniversary. The cake was pillars & plate construction. Do I put the cake directly on the plastic plate or should I use a cake board first?
Thanks, Mary

It depends... if you're using disposable plates that aren't to be returned, then it doesn't much matter if the plates get scratched during cutting.
I'd still use a cardboard on top of the plastic plate. I like to decorate on the cardboard and you'd need that underneath to pick it up and transfer it to the plastic plate.

My reasoning, too, for suggesting using a cardboard.

Another reason to use a cake board between the cake and plate: yrs ago I didn't. Made the cake the night before and in the a.m. found the plate (an *old* one) had cracked! Fortunately the cake wasn't stacked and it was a pain to get it off the cracked plate and onto a new one.
This is why i love and refer to this site so often. I love all the advice! Thanks everyone!
