Why this curved glass cake display fridge earns its place
This is a curved-glass cake display fridge — a chilled cabinet whose rounded glazing wraps the display so cakes, tarts and desserts are seen from more than one angle. That curved front is a merchandising choice: it opens up the sightline onto finished product, which is what a patisserie or coffee shop wants when the display itself is doing the selling. Chilled sweet lines that customers can see close up sell harder than the same stock hidden in a back-of-house fridge. The 900 mm width makes it a single-run unit for a modest counter space rather than a flagship centrepiece — it slots in alongside other equipment without dominating the line.
It works as a chilled display cabinet, holding finished patisserie at a cold serving temperature (+2 to +8 °C) while the double-glazed curved glass keeps everything on show and readable. Interior LED lighting makes the display sharp and appetising throughout the day, and the cabinet is lockable, which matters when closing down for the night or securing valuable stock. Because the whole point is presentation, keep the display grouped and well-faced and rotate stock through the day so it always looks full. A curved-glass cabinet rewards a tidy, deliberate layout — how the product is arranged behind the glass is a big part of what the customer buys.
Plan its position before it arrives: the cabinet weighs 150 kg on delivery, so give it a level base that can take the load without rocking. Leave ventilation clearance around it so the refrigeration can shed its heat properly, and keep it out of direct sunlight and away from ovens and other heat sources that make it work harder. It runs on a standard 230V single-phase supply and draws 33 kW at full load. Measure the space (900 mm × 680 mm footprint, 1200 mm tall) and the delivery route first so both work. Craven Cooling can advise on siting and supports the cabinet after it's installed.
