Suitable for 8-Inch Cakes, Cheesecakes and Gateaux

The 8-inch format provides a practical base for medium-sized cakes and desserts that need reliable support and an attractive presentation.

Typical uses include:

• Eight-inch round celebration cakes
• Birthday and anniversary cakes
• Cheesecakes
• Layered sponge cakes
• Gateaux and mousse cakes
• Chocolate and ganache cakes
• Fruit and custard tarts
• Premium chilled desserts
• Whole cakes for retail display

Always measure the finished product before packing. Piped borders, side decorations, fruit, chocolate pieces and cake toppers may increase the total width or height required inside the compatible dome.

Black Finish for Premium Cake Presentation

The black base creates a clean border around the cake and provides strong visual contrast against colourful decorations. It is particularly effective for cakes finished with white icing, fresh fruit, cream, chocolate, gold details or brightly coloured toppings.

This presentation is useful for:

• Chilled bakery display cabinets
• Dessert counters
• Customer collection orders
• Takeaway cake sales
• Event and wedding catering
• Restaurant dessert displays
• Retail cake counters

The plain surface may also be used with compatible product, price, ingredient, allergen or branding labels, provided the label does not interfere with the cake or the fitting of the dome.

Pair with the Matching 8 x 3 Inch Clear Dome Lid

Complete the presentation set with the GPI Actipack 20DXN03 Clear Cake Domed Lid.

The compatible clear dome:

• Keeps the cake visible during chilled display
• Helps reduce direct contact with icing and toppings
• Creates an enclosed presentation for collection and takeaway
• Has a stated size of approximately 8 x 3 inches
• Is supplied in a matching pack quantity of 210 lids

Use the recommended 20DXN03 lid for the intended fit. Compatibility with domes from another size, manufacturer or product range cannot be guaranteed.

• 8-inch round format
• Model: 20DXN30
• Clear domed lids are not included

The compatible GPI Actipack 20DXN03 clear dome lid is sold separately in a matching pack of 210.

Cake Packing and Handling Guidance

• Place the base on a clean, flat and stable surface
• Position the cake centrally on the base
• Check that the cake fits within the usable base area
• Allow space for side decorations and piped borders
• Chill delicate cakes before packing where appropriate
• Lower the compatible dome carefully over the cake
• Align the dome evenly around the complete base
• Check the connection before moving the assembled pack
• Carry the container from underneath the base
• Keep the cake level during display and transport

The base helps support the cake during normal handling, but the assembled container should always be lifted from underneath rather than carried by the clear dome.

Add an Outer Cake Box for Delivery

For delivery, event catering or longer journeys, an outer cardboard cake box can provide additional protection around the assembled Actipack container.

Browse our Cardboard Cake Boxes and check the internal width and height against the complete base-and-dome pack before ordering.
