Creating & Attaching Decorated Backdrop/Backboard to Cake Boards
Basketball Slam Dunk (& Attaching Decorated Backdrop/backboards)

The full, Slam Dunk Basketball cake project can be found in the project center and is available with a Cakeheads membership!

 

Watch the newer bubble bath cake video at time stamp 33:24, showing you a new and improved way to attach the backboard!

 

Note on Foam Boards:

1/2" thickness with a sturdy outer surface is SUPAH sturdy but a bit pricey.  1/5" and/or 3/16" thick should still work just fine.
It's actually more about the outer surface than the thickness. The outer surface of the Guildcraft kind (the ones I used in the video) are pretty thin and flimsy, but the outer surface of the ones listed in the supplies section from Amazon are much sturdier which is helpful!
