Decorating By tony_sopranos_ebony_girl Updated 17 Sep 2010 , 3:46am by tony_sopranos_ebony_girl
I am a 12" round cake 3 layers.
When I filled and stacked the layers I can see where I am going to have to end cutting the cake board to fit the cake once I have finished trimming.
How do you cut you board to get a nice round shape ?
Please any help the cake is for this weekend 
Once I am finished trimming it would appear to my eye that a 12" would be too big and a 10" to small

I assume you're covering the cake with fondant? Cuz if you were using buttercream, you'd want the board a little bigger than your cake.
If you're using cardboard cake circles, trace around your cake, then cut with a pair of scissors.
If you're using foamboard, trace around your cake, then cut with an Xacto knife.

Yes I am ... But what if it is already down on the cake board ?
Well i guess I could trim trace flip it onto a cookie sheet ... cut the board and then flip it back on !!!

Yup. Next time, use your bottom tier to measure the board before you fill and stack.
I've seen old school decorators extend the cake slightly over the edge of the counter and cut the cardboard with a serrated knife. Looks scary, dangerous and unhygienic to me!
