Hi,

I am planning on making a 10” Rubik’s cube cake (square sponges stacked on top of each other to make Cube). I want to display it on an iced board and then place it on a cake stand to give it a bit of height. Can anyone tell me what size ROUND cake stand I would need to fit a 10” SQUARE cake? 


Thanks

here are the right angle measurements:
4" 5.66
5" 7.07
6" 8.49
7" 9.9
8" 11.31
9" 12.73
10" 14.14
11" 15.56
12" 16.97
13" 18.38
14" 19.8
15" 21.21
16" 22.63
17" 24.04
18" 25.46

A 10" square cube needs a minimum of 14.14, I'd use a board 4" larger -- so an 18" round board.

The cake stand can be whatever size you'd like depending on how much cake and board you want to hang over the edge and how stable you'd like the stand to be.

Thanks, but I'm actually math-challenged and terrible with numbers... I'm lucky I can remember my own 2-digit address! The information is available online -- if you know what to search for -- wonderful web!
