Hi Alicain

I have the same problem too. Sometimes I decorate directly on the cake drum or use a cake card which can be transferred onto the drum. If you’re based in the UK, bigger Sainsbury’s supermarket sell large stainless steel cake lifters for £3.99. I have one, it’s really helpful.

I’d definitely use a cake card underneath the cake. I’ve learned the lesson the hard way and now I never ganache a cake off the main board without a cake board under it. I have yet to buy one of the cake lifters (I use a large spatula) but I heard they are great too.
