In the bustling commercial streets, cake display cabinets are widely used. Whether it's an independent cake shop on the street corner, a dessert counter in a large shopping mall, or the afternoon tea area of a hotel, they can be seen everywhere. Their development history is quite long. In the early days, cake display cabinets were just simple wooden or glass cabinets with a single function, only capable of basic display. With the development of the times and the growing prosperity of the baking industry, cake display cabinets have continuously evolved. From the upgrade of refrigeration technology to the diversification of appearance design, from basic storage and display to the integration of artistic beauty and commercial value nowadays, it has become an indispensable part of dessert shops.
If you want to make your cake display cabinet beautiful, you can start from the following four aspects:
1.Appearance Customization
If you want to make the cake display cabinet more beautiful, appearance customization is the crucial first step. Nowadays, cake display cabinets are no longer limited to the same old style. Merchants can customize a unique appearance according to the overall decoration style of the store, brand positioning, and the preferences of the target customer group. For dessert shops that focus on a retro style, a wooden cake display cabinet can be chosen. Its warm texture and retro color tone complement each other. The cabinet body can be carved with some exquisite retro patterns, and the handle can adopt a bronze - colored retro shape, instantly creating a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere, making customers feel as if they have traveled back to the good old days. For stores that pursue a modern and fashionable feel, a cake display cabinet made of stainless steel with transparent acrylic panels is a good choice. The metallic luster of stainless steel shows fashion and a sense of technology, and the transparent acrylic panels can maximize the display of the delicacy of the cakes. The combination of the two is simple and elegant, meeting the current young people's pursuit of fashion.
In addition, you can also work on the color of the cake display cabinet. If the overall color of the store is fresh and elegant, you can customize cake display cabinets in fresh color systems such as light blue and mint green, adding a touch of coolness to the store. If it follows a passionate and energetic route, cake display cabinets in bright colors such as bright yellow and pink can instantly enliven the atmosphere of the store and attract customers' attention.
2.Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting also plays a crucial role in enhancing the appearance of the cake display cabinet. Appropriate lighting can make the cakes look more attractive and create a unique visual effect. Inside the cake display cabinet, warm - yellow LED light strips can be installed. The warm - yellow light gives people a warm and comfortable feeling, making the cakes present a more soft and attractive color, as if putting a golden glow on the cakes. For example, when the light shines on a chocolate cake, it can fully show the rich luster of the chocolate and stimulate customers' appetite. When shining on a fruit cake, it can make the fruits more vivid and highlight their freshness. Besides warm - yellow, different colors of light can be matched according to the types of cakes. For matcha - flavored cakes, light - green light can echo with them, strengthening the fresh and natural characteristics of matcha. For red - colored strawberry cakes, light - pink light can further set off the sweetness of the strawberries.
At the same time, the angle and brightness of the light also need to be carefully adjusted. The light can be set to shine obliquely downward, which can better highlight the three - dimensional sense of the cakes and avoid shadows. In terms of brightness, it should not be too bright or too dark. Too bright will make the cakes look distorted, and too dark will not be able to show the details of the cakes. Moderate brightness can just right show the charm of the cakes.
3.Reasonable Display
The display method of the cake display cabinet also has an important impact on its aesthetics. Reasonable display can make the cake display cabinet look orderly and full of beauty. First, consider the size and shape of the cakes for layered display. Place larger - sized cakes at the bottom and smaller cakes at the top, which can keep the center of gravity of the entire cake display cabinet stable and be more harmonious visually. For cakes with special shapes, such as heart - shaped cakes and round cakes, a separate area can be set up for display, and unique shapes can be formed through ingenious placement.
Secondly, the principle of color matching can be adopted for display. Place cakes with similar or complementary colors together to create rich visual layers. For example, place the yellow lemon cake and the orange orange cake adjacent to each other. The two warm colors set off each other, giving people a lively and cheerful feeling. Or place the pink strawberry cake and the green matcha cake opposite each other. The contrast of complementary colors can form a strong visual impact and attract customers' attention.
In addition, some decorations can be interspersed among the cakes, such as delicate small dolls and artificial flowers, adding a sense of fun and a romantic atmosphere to the cake display cabinet. However, the number of decorations should not be too many, so as not to overshadow the cakes and affect the display effect.
4.Detail Decoration
There are also many nuances in the detail decoration of the cake display cabinet. Some beautiful stickers can be pasted on the edges or corners of the cake display cabinet. The patterns of the stickers can be elements related to baking, such as small cakes and baking tools, or they can be the store's logo or characteristic patterns. These stickers can add a sense of refinement and uniqueness to the cake display cabinet.
Some green plants can also be placed on the top of the cake display cabinet, such as small succulents and pothos. Green plants can not only bring vitality and energy to the cake display cabinet, but their fresh smell can also blend with the sweet smell of the cakes, creating a comfortable and pleasant environment. In addition, the hardware accessories such as handles and hinges of the cake display cabinet should not be ignored. Choosing hardware accessories with unique shapes and excellent textures, such as carved handles and retro hinges, can enhance the quality and beauty of the cake display cabinet from the details.
The above is the content of this issue. For large shopping malls and bakeries, there is no need for excessive embellishments for decoration because the shopping malls already have a large flow of people. However, for small shops in the streets and alleys, in order to form a certain competitiveness, it is necessary to decorate the cake display cabinet beautifully.
