GPI Actipack 26DXN30 Black Cake Base 10 Inch – Pack of 160 Bases

10-Inch Black Cake Base for Display, Takeaway and Transport

Present larger celebration cakes, cheesecakes, layered sponges and premium desserts on these professional GPI Actipack 26DXN30 black cake bases. Supplied in a bulk pack of 160 bases, they are suitable for bakeries, cafés, patisseries, dessert shops, caterers and food retailers preparing cakes for chilled display, customer collection or takeaway.

Each round base has a stated size of 10 inches, providing a firm platform for appropriately sized cakes and desserts. The rigid construction helps reduce flexing during normal preparation, packing and handling, while the black finish creates a clean border around the finished cake.

The dark base provides strong visual contrast against cream, icing, fruit, chocolate, decorative piping and colourful toppings. This helps cakes stand out in chilled display cabinets and gives collection or takeaway orders a polished, professional presentation.

This product contains cake bases only. Clear dome lids are not included. Complete the presentation pack with the matching GPI Actipack 26DX03 Clear Cake Domed Lids, 10 x 3 Inch – Pack of 160.

Suitable for 10-Inch Cakes, Cheesecakes and Gateaux

The 10-inch format provides a practical presentation base for larger cakes and whole desserts that require firm support during display and packing.

• Fruit and custard tarts

Always measure the completed product before packing. Side icing, piped borders, fruit, chocolate decorations and cake toppers may increase the overall width or height required inside the compatible dome.

Black Finish for Premium Cake Presentation

The black base creates a defined border around the cake and helps colourful toppings and decorative finishes stand out. It works particularly well with white cream, fresh fruit, chocolate, gold details, glazed finishes and brightly coloured icing.

This presentation is useful for:

• Chilled bakery display cabinets
• Patisserie and dessert counters
• Celebration cake collections
• Takeaway cake orders
• Event and wedding catering
• Restaurant dessert displays
• Retail cake counters
• Hotel and hospitality service

Compatible product, price, ingredient, allergen or branding labels may be applied where required, provided they do not interfere with the cake or prevent the compatible dome from fitting correctly.

• Is supplied in a matching pack quantity of 160 lids

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 sufficient space for piped borders and side decorations
• 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 completed pack should always be lifted from underneath. Do not carry the assembled container by holding only the clear dome.

Add an Outer Cake Box for Delivery

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

Browse our Cardboard Cake Boxes and compare the internal width and height with the complete base-and-dome pack before selecting a box.

The outer box should provide sufficient room for the assembled container without pressing against the dome or the cake decorations.

For more clear display and takeaway options, browse our Cake and Patisserie Plastic Containers.
