There are 19 products.
With our number and letter cake tins you can bake a number cake or letter cake that makes every birthday table shine. These cakes are very much on trend and popular in Switzerland too – and with the right tin they are easy to make at home. For every digit from 0 to 9 you will find a suitable shape: a number cake tin, a number cake ring or a baking ring for sponge and layer cakes; the 6 / 9 tin even works for both digits. There is also a number and letter tin, the «Noël» letter cake template kit with four letter templates and our number cake templates.
Our blog features number cake ideas such as a unicorn number cake for a birthday, a Valentine's number cake that also suits Mother's Day, and a Christmas number cake as an alternative to the traditional yule log. Each recipe links the accessories, tins, kits and tools used, with step-by-step photos for a result worthy of a great pastry chef.
Tips for base, cream and tin
- Shortcrust or sponge: number cakes have either a shortcrust or a sponge base. Some love the crunch of shortcrust, others prefer the sweetness and softness of a sponge.
- Ganache and cream: usually a ganache – lemon, vanilla or chocolate – is piped onto the base. For the second layer, try mascarpone cream, whipped cream or a second ganache; a crémeux adds extra flair.
- Even sponge: on the silicone sponge cake mat your sponge bakes smooth and even. Then cut out the number with the templates so that every digit is regular.
- Bake straight in the shape: alternatively, bake the sponge directly in the number ring or baking ring. For a taller number cake, our Novelty & 3D cake tins let you bake a loaf cake or brownies and then pipe ganache or whipped cream on top.
Frequently asked questions about number cakes
How do I make a two-digit number?
Place two digits side by side, for example the number rings 3 and 0 for a 30th birthday. Simply turn the 6 / 9 tin depending on which digit you need.
Can I bake letters and initials too?
Yes. With the number and letter tin you can spell initials or short words to match your theme. For the festive season, the «Noël» kit gives you the four letter templates to cut your base to shape.
