Hi all, does anyone know if you can use a non-toxic paint or other paint type for painting a cake board? Has anyone tried this? Any feedback much appreciated.

never really seen them painted before myself , I know a kitchen cabinent maker place not far from me gives away all their off cuts of melamine (sp?) - some of which can be quite large - so that might be better

I would only paint the edge, people will be put off, or you will spend a lot of time explaining , the paint is not leaded. lol. maybe a edge that could be removed, made of cardboard.

If you go to a cake decorating shop you can buy the paper by the metre which they use to cover cake boards.Also try spotlight as they used to keep it.

You could also cover the board in fondant which can then be thrown away - I've seen boards done this way to match the cake.

If its a painted finish you want you can paint the board. Leaded paint isnt around any more. Just be sure its properley dry. Please dont put TIN FOIL on the board, it moves and rips and looks yuky.
