Cake circles & entremet bases
There are 56 products.
Cake circles and entremet bases are essential for building entremets, mousse cakes and cakes in a cake ring. The thin circle sits under the cake, supports it while you build it and makes it easy to move onto a serving plate or into a box. In this category you will find cake circles and bases from Ø 12 to Ø 34 cm in cardboard, plastic and aluminium.

The right size for entremets
For an entremet, choose a circle the size of the ring or 1 to 2 cm smaller, so that it fits inside the ring and is not visible after glazing. For a cake built in a Ø 20 cm ring, a Ø 18 or 20 cm circle is ideal. If the cake is to be presented on a visible board, you will find larger, sturdier boards in Round cake boards. The gold and black bases, on the other hand, are designed to be the same size as the cake and look elegant in a display counter or a window box. For tarts and cakes, the plastic bases and aluminium cake trays are a sturdy alternative.
Frequently asked questions about cake circles
What is the difference between a cake circle and a cake board?
A cake circle is about 1 mm thin and sits directly under the cake. A cake board is 2 to 12 mm thick and usually larger than the cake.
Which pack size is best?
For frequent use, for example in a patisserie, the packs of 50 are good value, in white or gold/black. For a few cakes, 5 or 10 are enough.
What are aluminium cake trays for?
They serve as a sturdy base for building, chilling and moving cakes and tarts.
