Cake Dome  

Having a cake in a cake dome adds anticipation to dessert time and beautifully represents your baking endeavors. Making desserts is an enjoyed activity for many, and is a gratifying task, especially when the delicious treats are enjoyed by others. Although the taste is of high importance, the presentation of the yummy creation makes the dessert even more appealing. Whether the food is visible or completely concealed, the proper dishware for your baking is a perfect finishing touch to your creation.

Cake trays are very handy to serve off of. Whether a pedestal style or flat, a tray is a convenient and attractive way to provide the desserts to the eaters. The elegant presentation just makes one feel that the dessert is a bit more special and creates a more appreciative feel that will directly relate to their overall interpretation of the food. Some of the dome style cake trays are really an elaborate design to especially impress anyone who sees it. A pedestal style looks highly intriguing sitting on a counter with a special something underneath and even more so if it’s a see through material. The wide array of choices for a cake container will bring some options and differing styles to suit your personal preferences.

For a design that you will get the most use out of there are 3-in-1's or 4-in-1's where you’ll be able to turn the pedestal upside down and get a different use out of it or turn the dome around and have a big bowl for a variety of uses. There are a few different models that specifically feature alternate uses and are designed to support the change in use, but cake trays and covers can be used for different things even if they weren’t specifically designed for it. The tray can be used for various “trays” of food like a fruit tray, cheese tray, meat tray or an attractive way to display any kind of food. Using the dome cover for preservation is a convenient option and looks rather intriguing when an elaborate and spacious cover is over your food. Designs that allow you to use the lid as a functional bowl are great as an interesting fruit bowl or salad bowl.  

A pedestal cake stand with the dome cover is made by Luigi Bormioli and has four different ways you can use it. This glass stand gracefully displays and preserves cakes with a 5.75 inch high cover. Turn the plate stand upside down to create a chip or vegetable and dip set that uses the stand as the dip bowl and the bottom of the plate for the chip tray. The stand on its own is a cheese, hors d’oeuvres, or pastry plate that looks great on a buffet table. The last intended use is a punch bowl with a tray underneath for decorations or fruit. With the stand in “tray and dip” mode the cover, turned upside down, will be supported on the bowl/stand part. Designed for those entertainers, this cake tray / chip & dip tray / dessert plate / punch bowl will get lots of use and be a favorite entertaining dish.

A cake dome will wonderfully display a number of different food items and be well appreciated by the owner and eaters alike.
