Oval cake rings

Oval cake rings suit cakes that look longer on a table: festive, elegant and a little different from the classic round. We stock ten oval rings from Ø 14 to 30 cm, almost all 5 cm high, plus one shallow 2 cm ring.

Which oval rings do we have?

• Oval ring x 5 cm: Ø 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 cm. You can build cakes with two or three layers in them.
• Oval ring Ø 18 x 2 cm: a shallow ring for bases, tarts or single layers.

When does oval fit?

An oval cake sits well on a long festive table and is easier to cut into even slices than a large round one. It also looks great as an Easter egg cake in spring or as an anniversary cake with a monogram or number on top. The Ø measurement refers to the main axis. If you plan a pattern or lettering, the oval shape offers a lovely calm surface.

Tips from the bakery

Place the ring on baking paper and cut a piece of paper in the same shape beforehand to check the size of the board or cake stand. With long shapes, spread the batter evenly and tap the tray lightly to release air bubbles. For even slices, cut the oval cake in half lengthways, then cut across.

Frequently asked questions

Are there oval rings with holes?

Yes, in perforated rings you will find oval rings for tarts. They are intended for bases with a moist filling.

How big does the board need to be?

Allow a few centimetres of margin all round. Similar shapes are teardrop and round cake rings. A simple recipe for a base is the very best strawberry short cake, and you can practise decorating at the cake decorating course in Adliswil.
