A cake display cabinet is used to display pastries, cakes, cheeses and other foods. Its material is usually stainless steel, and the four sides are made of glass panels. It supports the function of cold buffet. A good cake cabinet can be obtained for a few hundred dollars, while a customized one is more expensive. The following briefly shares the precautions for customizing a cake display cabinet.
The following aspects need to be noted when customizing a cake display cabinet:
I. Size and Space Utilization
Before customization, measure the space reserved for the display cabinet in the store. If the aisle in the store is narrow, a too-wide display cabinet should not be customized. Generally speaking, the width of the aisle should at least ensure that two people can pass sideways, and the width of the display cabinet should be adjusted accordingly.
Also consider the height of the display cabinet in relation to other surrounding equipment. The height of the display cabinet should not block the line of sight, so that customers can easily see the cakes in the display cabinet from all positions in the store.
Internal Space Planning
Reasonably plan the display space inside the display cabinet. For the display area of ordinary cup cakes, the height of the compartments can be about 10 – 15 centimeters; while for the areas used to display cakes, cheeses, etc., the height of the compartments should be at least 30 – 40 centimeters.
Consider whether special partitions are needed, such as a refrigerated area and a normal temperature area. The temperature in the refrigerated area is generally 2 – 8 °C, which is used to store perishable products such as cream cakes, and the size of its space should be determined according to the expected number of refrigerated cakes. The normal temperature area can be used to display some biscuits and normal temperature snacks with a longer shelf life, and the proportion of the space can be adjusted according to the types of products sold in the store.
II. Material and Quality
When customizing a cake display cabinet, metal materials (such as stainless steel) are generally chosen. It is relatively sturdy and durable, easy to clean, has a strong modern look, and has a long service life. The four panels are made of tempered glass. Tempered glass has high transparency, allowing customers to clearly see the cakes, and it is also high in strength and not easy to break.
Note: If heavier cake models or multi-layer cakes are to be placed, the customized compartments need to have sufficient bearing capacity.
III. Lighting Design
LED lights are generally used as they have the advantages of high brightness, low energy consumption, and less heat generation. When customizing, pay attention to the color temperature of the LED lights. The warm white (3000 – 3500K) light can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, which is suitable for displaying cakes.
Tip: Install spotlights and light strips inside the display cabinet to enhance its visual appeal. The light strips can provide uniform background light, making the light inside the entire display cabinet soft and avoiding shadows. Ensure that the light can evenly illuminate each display layer area.
IV. Display Function and Convenience
The customized display cabinet should be convenient for cake display. It can be designed as an open display rack for customers to directly pick up cakes; it can also be a closed glass display cabinet, which can better maintain the freshness and hygiene of the cakes.
For special cases, a rotating display rack can be installed to allow customers to see the cakes from all angles, increasing the display effect of the cakes and attracting more customers’ attention.
The above has mainly shared the precautions for cake display cabinets from four aspects. Meanwhile, pay attention to the appropriate price!
