Confectionery Display Case

A Confectionery Display Case is the central element in any café, patisserie or dessert bar. It simultaneously serves two functions – storing products at a safe temperature and making them visually appealing. A well-lit, clean and neatly arranged display case directly influences sales volume: customers more often choose products they can clearly see and evaluate. BHS offers a wide range of confectionery display cases for cafés, patisseries and retail outlets across Europe.

How a Confectionery Display Case works

A Confectionery Display Case maintains a stable temperature of +2°C to +6°C – ideal for creamy desserts, éclairs, cream puffs and mousse products. The cooling system can be either ventilated (circulating air) or static – the first ensures a more even temperature across all shelves, while the second reduces air movement, preventing delicate products from drying out. Anti-condensation glass panels ensure uninterrupted product visibility even in changing temperatures. Integrated LED lighting with a neutral white tone highlights the natural colours of products without distortion. Adjustable shelves allow the display case to be adapted for products of various heights – from cakes and pastries to small pies and pralines.

Hygiene and food safety

Confectionery Display Cases must meet food safety requirements, as they store ready-to-eat food. All internal materials – shelves, side panels and trays – are made from stainless steel or food-contact certified plastic, which is easy to clean and disinfect. The cooling system maintains a temperature that prevents bacterial growth, in line with HACCP cold chain requirements. Glass panels prevent product contact with customers and the external environment. Regular cleaning of the display case and maintenance of the cooling system are essential for complying with food safety standards.

HoReCa usage scenarios

In cafés, a Confectionery Display Case is usually placed near the checkout, so customers see the offerings while waiting in line, which significantly increases impulse purchases. In patisseries and bakeries, the display case is the main sales tool – purchases are largely made through visual selection. In hotel breakfast areas and buffets, a Confectionery Display Case ensures dessert presentation and storage in a self-service format. In food pavilions of shopping centres, a display case with multi-sided product visibility boosts sales. BHS helps select the right display case model and configuration to suit the specific layout of your business and customer flow.

Frequently asked questions

What temperature should be set for a Confectionery Display Case for cakes and cream desserts? The optimal temperature for creamy desserts, éclairs and mousse products is +2°C to +4°C. For desserts without dairy cream – +4°C to +6°C. Chocolate products and pralines are better suited to +12°C to +16°C, which is why separate display cases without intensive cooling are often used for them.

Is it possible to customise a Confectionery Display Case to match a company’s style? Yes, BHS offers display case customisation – body colour selection from the RAL palette, material choices (stainless steel, laminated MDF, wood) and logo printing. Custom-designed solutions with specific lengths, configurations and cooling types are also available.
