6 cm high cake rings

Cake rings 6 cm high are the standard size for the classic layered cake: two to three layers of sponge, cream or mousse in between, and the ring holds everything in shape. We stock 34 items, from a 12 cm ring up to 30 cm diameter.

Which 6 cm high rings do we offer?

The choice runs from 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 up to 30 cm diameter. Several sizes are also available as Decora rings. This category also holds Decora rings of 4.5 cm height for flatter cakes. Plastic or stainless steel cake dividers (8 to 18 pieces) and cake strips 6 cm wide, on rolls of 10, 50 or 200 metres, belong here too.

What is a 6 cm ring good for?

For classic cakes with two to three layers and filling, such as a strawberry cake or a Black Forest gateau. For mousse cakes the ring leaves enough room for base, mousse and glaze. For something lower, choose 5 cm (cheesecake, mousse). For taller builds there is 10 cm, and for tarts and fruit cakes 3 cm.

Tips from the bakery

Place the strip in the ring before you put in the base. The cake then releases cleanly after chilling and the sides stay smooth. Choose the diameter by the number of guests; our article How can I scale a cake recipe? helps you adjust the recipe.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 6 cm ring enough for a cake with three layers?

That depends on the thickness of the layers and filling. With roughly a centimetre per layer it is a tight fit, but there is still room for cream. For very tall builds, take the 10 cm ring.

Where can I find other heights and shapes?

All heights are in the round cake rings. Suitable bases are in the cake boards & cake discs, strips in cake discs & strips.
