Cake topping

Chocolate cake on a cake topper

As Cake doily (also Doiles ) refers to documents for baked goods .

Sheets made of " food-safe " lace paper are used for production, which are cut and punched to resemble lace . Originally intended in a round shape for the base of cakes , they are now also made in other shapes. They are used both for decoration and to bind liquids and fat that may leak out of baked goods.

They are used in pastry shops and patisseries etc. and in gastronomy such as cafes etc., but also in private households. In addition, they are often used in the transport packaging of cakes, where they serve as a protective layer between the cake base and the transport box and as an aid when inserting and removing the cake.

Cake tips are sold in different shapes, designs and sizes as baking accessories in specialist and mail order businesses as well as in supermarkets and household goods stores, etc. They are mostly white, but some are also available in different colors and / or with a print of a motif.
