Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia CS013 is a staple for a reason. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel; it's just a beautifully simple, effective piece of displayware. The quality of the glass is excellent for the price point, offering brilliant clarity without feeling fragile. It’s the kind of reliable kit you buy once and  use for years to come.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Real Strength: Surprisingly robust for a glass stand, it easily handles daily use in a busy café.
  • Heads Up: The dome is essential for keeping goods fresh and  must be bought separately.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in Canterbury wanted a more hygienic and  appealing way to display their popular homemade scones on their self-service counter.

"We bought four of these stands with the matching domes. Not only do they look fantastic, but they keep the scones perfectly fresh and  stop customers from accidentally touching them. They’ve made the whole counter look more organised and  professional."

Eleanor Vance – Owner

The change resulted in a noticeable reduction in food waste and  a 15% uplift in scone sales in the first quarter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, carefully unbox and  inspect the stand for any chips or cracks from transit.
  • Before its first use, give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run it through your glasswasher.
  • Always place the stand on a completely flat and  stable surface, well away from the edge of the counter.
  • If using the compatible dome (CS014), check that it sits securely and  evenly on the base's rim.

Keeping It Going

  • To maintain its sparkle and  meet hygiene standards, clean the stand after every use.
  • The stand is fully glasswasher safe for convenience in a busy commercial kitchen.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or cloud the glass surface over time.
  • Periodically check for any small chips around the rim to ensure it remains safe for food contact.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Displayware

Need a hand choosing? Making your food look its best is crucial, so here are a few things to think about when you're buying displayware.

Size and  Height

Consider what you're displaying. A raised stand like this one is fantastic for drawing the eye, but make sure you have enough vertical clearance on your counter.

Cover or Open?

A dome or cover is a non-negotiable for freshness and  hygiene if items will be out for a while. Open stands are fine for things that are snapped up quickly.

Material Matters

Glass offers a classic, premium look that's easy to clean. Other materials like slate or wood can create a more rustic feel. Choose what best fits your brand's style.

Customer Interaction

Will it be used for a self-service buffet or a staff-served counter? Ensure your displayware is robust enough for customer use if they'll be helping themselves.

Ease of Cleaning

Always look for dishwasher or glasswasher-safe items where possible. In a commercial kitchen, this is a huge time-saver and  hygiene essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the glass dome included with this stand?

A: No, the compatible Olympia glass dome (our product code CS014) is sold separately. This allows you to buy just the base if you don't need a cover.

Q: Is this stand heavy enough to be stable?

A: Yes, it weighs 2.45kg. This weight is intentional, providing a very sturdy and  stable base to prevent it from being easily knocked over on a busy counter.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the display area?

A: The stand has a full diameter of 300mm (about 12 inches), making it perfectly suited for most standard-sized large cakes or a generous batch of smaller items.

Q: Can I put it in my commercial glasswasher?

A: Absolutely. The Olympia glass cake stand is designed to be fully glasswasher safe for quick, easy, and  hygienic cleaning in a professional setting.

Q: Is the glass very fragile?

A: It's made from commercial-grade glass, which is tougher and  more resistant to chipping than standard domestic glassware, but care should always be taken.

Q: Can I use this for displaying hot pies?

A: This stand is designed for displaying cold or ambient temperature foods like cakes, pastries, and  sandwiches. It is not rated for use with hot food.

Q: What is the Olympia brand known for?

A: Olympia is a highly trusted name in the UK hospitality industry, known for producing reliable, functional, and  affordable catering equipment and  tableware.

Q: Will the base scratch my wooden countertop?

A: The base is made of smooth, finished glass. However, as with any heavy item, we recommend placing it down carefully to avoid marking any delicate surfaces.

What Customers Are Saying

"A brilliant, sturdy piece of kit. Looks far more expensive than it is and  really makes our lemon drizzle look appealing. A fantastic commercial cake display stand."

Ben R. – The Corner Shop, Bristol

"Does the job perfectly. Only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because you have to buy the dome separately, but it's worth it for freshness."

Chloe T. – Guesthouse Owner, The Lake District

"We use this for our daily bakes. It's been through the glasswasher every single day for months and  still looks brand new. Highly recommended."

Marco F. – Italian Bistro, Liverpool

Why a Raised Stand Makes a Real Difference

You might wonder why you need a proper stand when a nice plate could do. Think of this Olympia CS013 cake stand as a mini-spotlight for your star bake. The raised platform elevates it, literally and  figuratively, lifting it above the clutter of the countertop and  making it the undeniable centre of attention. It says 'look at me!' in a way a flat plate simply can't. When paired with the matching dome (sold separately), it also creates a protective bubble, trapping moisture to stop sponges from drying out while shielding them from dust and  airborne germs. It's not just about looking good; it's about smarter, safer, and  more effective food presentation.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: Perfect for showcasing your signature 'cake of the day' right on the counter to tempt customers.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: An elegant and  professional way to present celebration cakes or delicate pastries in your shop window.
  • Hotels & B&Bs: Ideal for elevating your breakfast buffet or making your afternoon tea service feel that bit more special.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A brilliant stand for presenting local bakes and  tempting those impulse buys at the till.
