Cake Stands

Cake Stands are essential for presenting cakes, pastries and afternoon tea selections with height and style in professional hospitality settings. This range includes single pedestal stands, revolving cake stands and multi tier afternoon tea stands in wood, slate, glass, chrome and melamine. Ideal for cafes, hotels, bakeries and event caterers, they create eye catching displays on counters, buffets and dessert stations. Durable construction and stable bases help maintain food safety and presentation standards during busy service.

• Single pedestal cake stands in acacia, mango wood and melamine for showcasing signature cakes and tarts.
• Three tier cake stands and afternoon tea towers for serving sandwiches, scones and pastries with classic presentation.
• Revolving cake stands to make decorating and serving large cakes easier and more efficient.
• Slate and glass cake stands and bases for contemporary dessert displays in cafes and hotel buffets.
• Plate stands designed to hold multiple plates securely, perfect for afternoon tea service and self serve counters.
• Compact footprints to maximise counter space while adding height and impact to your food display.

How to choose the right Cake Stands

• Consider the size and diameter of your cakes and plates to ensure the stand comfortably supports your usual portions.
• Choose materials such as acacia or mango wood for a warm rustic look, or chrome, glass and slate for a modern, premium finish.
• Decide between single stands for hero cakes and three tier stands for afternoon tea or mixed pastry selections.
• Match the stand style to your service area, whether front of house counters, buffet stations or table service.
• Check overall height and footprint so the stand fits under gantries, in display cabinets or on narrow counters.
• For high volume sites, select robust, easy clean designs that can withstand frequent handling and daily service.

Care and maintenance

• Clean stands promptly after service, following manufacturer guidance for wood, metal, glass or slate finishes.
• For wooden cake stands, wipe with a damp cloth, avoid soaking and dry thoroughly to prevent warping or cracking.
• Use non abrasive cloths and mild detergents on glass, chrome and slate to maintain clarity and shine.
• Inspect joints, screws and tiers regularly to ensure the stand remains stable and safe for loaded service.
• Store stands carefully between uses, protecting surfaces from chips, scratches and impact damage.
• Rotate stands in use so wear is evenly spread, extending the life of your display equipment.

Pair your stands with matching food display trays, tableware and buffet equipment to create a cohesive dessert and afternoon tea presentation.
