The Silver/Gold Double-Sided Cake Support Rings are thin round pastry trays (1 mm thick) designed for professional pastry chefs and cake designers who assemble multi-tiered cakes or seek a versatile presentation support. Their special feature: a silver side and a gold side on the same ring, allowing you to choose the color tone at the final plating according to the event theme (gold wedding, silver baptism, chic birthday). Available in 5 diameters (15, 20, 26, 30, and 35 cm) and packaged in sets of 3 rings of the same diameter, they are the ideal tool for cake design workshops producing wedding cakes and tiered desserts.
In a few words
Detailed information
Why choose these Gold/Silver double-sided rings?
The Gold/Silver Double-Sided Support Rings stand out with 6 advantages that make them the reference for cake designers specializing in tiered cakes:
- Reversible double-sided: each ring offers a silver side and a gold side. You choose the color tone at the time of plating, without having to buy two separate references in stock
- Thin 1 mm format ideal for separators: reduced thickness that discreetly fits between tiers of a tiered cake, unlike thick cake drums (1.2 cm) which are more visible and only suitable for the base
- 5 complementary diameters: 15, 20, 26, 30, and 35 cm. Allows you to create a complete 3-tier cake (for example 35 + 26 + 15 cm) by purchasing the right sets
- Sold in sets of 3 identical rings: professional packaging suited for workshops producing in series, multiple orders of the same size within the week
- Reusable with care: with proper care (gentle cleaning, immediate drying, flat storage), these rings can be used for multiple consecutive events
- Versatile as separator or tray: can be used as separators between tiers of a tiered cake OR as presentation trays for individual cakes and desserts placed on a table

Difference: Thin 1 mm Circles vs Thick Cake Drums
Patissland offers two distinct families of round supports. Here is how to position these 1 mm double-sided Circles compared to the thick Cake Drums in the range:
| Criterion | Double-sided Circles (this product) | Thick Cake Drums |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 1 mm (thin) | About 1.2 cm (thick) |
| Preferred use | Spacer between tiers, individual cake tray | Single base of a layer cake or tiered cake |
| Visibility in the cake | Discreet, almost invisible | Highly visible, part of the base decoration |
| Load capacity | Light to medium cakes | Heavy cakes and whole tiered cakes |
| Packaging | Set of 3 identical pieces | Often sold individually |
| Unit cost | Economical (pack of 3) | Higher price per unit |
Our recommendation for professional pastry chefs: have both in your workshop. Use a thick Cake Drum as the base of the cake for overall stability, and place these 1 mm double-sided Circles between each tier to stabilize the upper cakes without visually weighing down the composition.
For thick bases, discover the Golden Azucren Tray 25 cm, the FunCakes White Round Cake Drum 25 cm, or the Rose Gold Round Cake Drum according to your color preferences.
Choose the right diameter for your project
The 5 available diameters cover all professional pastry configurations. Here is a guide to choose the right size:
| Diameter | Preferred use | Typical combinations |
|---|---|---|
| 15 cm | Top tier of cake, individual cake for 2-3 people, portioned dessert | Top tier wedding cake, premium bento cake |
| 20 cm | Intermediate tier of a 3-tier cake, cake for 6-8 people | Middle tier wedding cake, standard layer cake |
| 26 cm | Bottom tier of a 2-tier cake, base for large layer cake | Compact wedding cake base, birthday cake for 12-15 people |
| 30 cm | 3-tier cake base, presentation tray for multiple desserts | Standard wedding cake base, buffet presentation |
| 35 cm | 4-tier cake base or XL event piece | Impressive wedding cake, corporate event cake |
Pro tip: for a classic 3-tier cake, buy sets of 3 in 15 cm + 20 cm + 30 cm. You get 3 rings of each diameter, enough to equip 3 identical tiered cakes for a multi-table event or for 3 different orders in the same week.
Main professional applications
The 1 mm double-sided rings cover 7 main professional uses in cake design and pastry:
- Spacer rings for tiered cakes: placed between each tier of a wedding cake, they stabilize the upper cake while remaining visually discreet
- Presentation trays for individual desserts: a 15 cm ring under a portioned dessert gives a boutique pastry finish
- Showcase enhancement: the gold side creates a "showpiece" effect for boutique displays, the silver side gives an elegant "set table" effect
- Wedding cakes with Gold and Silver themes: adaptable to the wedding’s color theme by flipping the ring during final plating
- Baptisms and family events: the silver side matches blue, purple, and cool atmospheres; the gold side suits red, beige, and warm atmospheres
- Event pastry buffet: used as individual bases under each creation to structure the presentation on the reception table
- Premium boutique pastry: integrated in the transport box under the client’s cake to mark the workshop’s signature
For stable multi-tier assemblies, add dowels (support pillars) that maintain spacing between tiers and prevent the upper cake from collapsing.
How to use the double-sided Gold/Silver?
The reversible nature of the rings offers unique flexibility during final plating. Here are the best practices:
- Event theme validation: before assembly, confirm with your client the desired color dominance (gold for classic chic weddings, silver for modern ceremonies)
- Choice of front side for filling: turn the ring with the chosen side facing up before placing the cake, as handling becomes impossible once the cake is positioned
- Color consistency of tiers: on a multi-tiered cake, use the same side on all spacer rings for visual consistency
- Food protection: always place a sheet of parchment paper between the cake and the circle if the filling is moist or greasy, to prevent oxidation of the metallic finish.
- Clean handling: wear latex gloves during decorating to avoid fingerprints on the shiny metallic finish.
Storage, maintenance, and reuse
To preserve the shine on both sides and ensure optimal reuse:
- Immediate cleaning after use: wipe both sides with a soft damp cloth right after the event, without letting cream or ganache residues dry.
- No abrasive products: avoid scrubbing sponges and strong detergents that scratch or dull the aluminum metallic finish.
- Immediate drying: wipe the circles with a clean cloth after cleaning; prolonged moisture can cause stains.
- Flat storage: store the circles flat in a dry place, protected from dust, ideally stacked with a sheet of paper between each circle.
- Check before each use: inspect the edges to ensure no deformation affects flatness before placing a cake.
- Reuse limit: with careful maintenance, expect 5 to 10 uses depending on the type of cake placed. Beyond that, the finish loses its original shine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between these thin circles and a thick Cake Drum?
The 1 mm circles are designed for layer separators in a tiered cake or as a lightweight base for an individual cake. Thick Cake Drums (1.2 cm) are instead dedicated to the single base of a tiered cake to support all the weight. Both are complementary in a professional workshop.
Can you place an entire wedding cake on these circles?
For the base of a heavy multi-tier wedding cake, we recommend a thick Cake Drum (such as Plateau Azucren or Cake Drum Rose Gold). For the intermediate and upper tiers, these thin 1 mm circles are perfect as they remain visually discreet.
How to build a 3-tier cake with these circles?
Buy 3 sets: 15 cm (top tier) + 20 cm (middle tier) + 30 cm (base bottom tier, to be completed with a thick Cake Drum underneath). Stack each tier by placing a circle between each, and stabilize the whole with dowels (food-grade plastic pillars).
Which side to choose: Gold or Silver?
The choice depends on the event theme: Gold for classic weddings, luxury events, red/beige/champagne atmospheres. Silver for modern ceremonies, blue/purple/white events, neutral baptisms. The advantage of double-sided: you decide at the last moment based on the theme confirmed by the client.
How many times can a cake ring be reused?
With careful maintenance (immediate cleaning without abrasive products, gentle drying, flat storage), expect 5 to 10 uses depending on the type of cake and following instructions. For high-end event pastries, plan regular replacement to maintain impeccable presentation quality.
Is there a square version?
Yes, Patissland also offers the square version of the same product, in 3 complementary sizes (20, 25, 30 cm). Prefer this for rectangular cakes, number cakes, and tiered cakes with square layers. For round cakes and round desserts, stick with this round version.
Are they freezer-safe for frozen desserts?
Yes, the aluminum finish and cellulose support withstand refrigeration or freezing without damage. Be sure to wipe off any condensation before and after cold storage to avoid stains on the metallic finish.
