One time of year when customers are likely to treat themselves to a tasty pastry or rich dessert is the holiday season. Tis the season for indulgence, so why not present your holiday cakes, cookies, pies and pastries in an attractive display case?

The display case is a fine way to showcase your best work and increase sales. Proper presentation can be key to encouraging orders. A tantalizing tiered dessert case on the front counter can remind guests to save room for dessert. The case also offers a visual stimulation for the customer’s appetite without having to incorporate pictures into the menu. A glimpse of chocolate drizzles or sugary pipes of icing can lead to more profits, especially if you are showcasing higher priced items.

Another benefit of putting your cookie or cupcake selection before customers in a direct serving fashion is the visible insight into which varieties are most popular. Observing that other customers have snatched up half the pieces of your chocolate mousse pie, may be an incentive to try a slice. 

Reasons for shelving your baked goods on a display case extend beyond aesthetic and profit-making purposes. Holding your food behind glass or plastic conforms to food safety guidelines. The display case helps protect food from bugs and germs in the air. If you plan to pull your muffins straight out of the oven and onto the shelves, be aware that a bit of cooling time is necessary to avoid trapping moisture with your banana-walnut bounty. Closing the doors on your display case when the goods are ready will ensure the freshness of your food.

Display cases are a simple addition to the front-of-the-house layout that can increase sales, showcase new specialty items and protect your fresh-baked creations. Invest in one now to showcase the delicious indulgences that await your guests.
