To make successful Oriental pastries, some tools are essential. Oriental cake molds in silicone or metal create signature shapes: diamonds for makrout, crescents for gazelle horns, rosettes for ghriba, and rectangles for baklava. Lace paper cups for Oriental cakes in white, gold, or silver elevate the presentation of serving trays—our designs imitate traditional doilies and resist the grease from pastries. For special occasions, Oriental pastry trays in gold, silver, or copper-toned metal are the perfect foundation for a beautiful Ramadan table or Eid buffet. Specialty cookie cutters (stars, crescents, mosques, lanterns) let you customize shortbread cookies and fondant with religious themes.

The Ramadan season and Eid Mubarak celebrations are times when baking becomes an act of sharing. Our dedicated range includes everything you need to make these occasions special: Eid Mubarak cookie cutters (stars, moons, Arabic lanterns, mosques), Eid cake stands with gold finishes, custom Eid toppers to place on cupcakes and layer cakes, and decorative flags reading "Ramadan Kareem" and "Eid Mubarak." For Eid Mubarak layer cakes and end-of-Ramadan number cakes, our tall pans allow for spectacular layers. Eid Mubarak cakes can be covered with fondant in traditional colors (gold, midnight blue, emerald green), then decorated with an edible Arabic calligraphy pen or a stencil.

Every oriental pastry has its signature tool. Moroccan chebakia, those fried flowers with honey and sesame seeds, calls for a frying skimmer and a large, steady pot of oil. Gazelle horns (kaab el ghazal) are shaped by hand but require a crimping tool to create raised patterns in the dough. Baklava requires a large rectangular metal baking pan for layering filo pastry and hot orange blossom syrup. Makrouts (date-filled diamonds), ghriba (tender semolina shortbread), and briouates (sweet honey-filled samosas) each have their own dedicated molds and stamps. Our selection covers everything traditional Arab pastries require—from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, and the Middle East.

What decorations should you choose for an Eid Mubarak cake?
Traditional colors include gold, emerald green, midnight blue, and white. For an Eid Mubarak layer cake, cover it with white fondant, add edible gold decorations (stars, moons, “Eid Mubarak” calligraphy), and finish with a printed topper. Arabic lantern and crescent cookie cutters let you make matching decorative cookies. You can also add “Ramadan Kareem” flags to cupcakes for a coordinated buffet.

How do you arrange a platter of oriental pastries for Ramadan?
Choose a large gold or silver tray (at least 40-50 cm). Arrange the pastries by type: light colors (gazelle horns, white ghriba) on one side, amber colors (chebakia, makrouts, honey baklava) on the other. Raise the center with a tiered stand to add height. Place a white or gold lace paper cup under each piece to absorb grease and create a neat presentation.

Are lace paper cups suitable for all oriental pastries?
Yes, as long as you choose the right size. Standard gold lace baking cups (5-7 cm) are suitable for ghriba, makrouts, briouates, and small gazelle horns. Larger styles (10-12 cm) can hold baklava, kaak, and individual pastries. All our baking cups are certified food-safe and resistant to the grease in pastries soaked in honey.
