This pack of four 270mm commercial fondant plates brings a gentle, contemporary feel to any table with its gorgeous, understated mint green finish.

Expert Review and Insights
There's a real shift towards softer, more organic colours in dining, and this Fondant range from Olympia nails it. The mint shade is calming and very 'on-trend', but it's the combination of this aesthetic with commercial-grade toughness that's so impressive. The reactive glaze gives it a premium, hand-finished feel that belies its very practical price point.

- Pro: The unique glaze on each plate provides a bespoke, high-end look.
- Con: The specific mint colour, while beautiful, may not suit all existing decors.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Blossom Tree Bakery in Harrogate was looking to move away from their standard white tableware to something that better reflected their creative, floral-inspired bakes. They needed plates that were as beautiful as their cakes but tough enough for a busy cafe environment.
"The moment we saw these mint fondant plates, we knew they were the ones. The colour is stunning and our dessert sales have genuinely seen a lift because they look so appealing. They’re also incredibly robust, handling our frantic weekend rushes without a problem."
Amelia Thompson – Owner
The switch has dramatically improved their food's visual appeal, leading to a significant increase in customer photos being shared online.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and check each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Always give them a thorough wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- When storing, stack them neatly. The rolled edges are designed to help with this and minimise contact.
- Designate a specific shelf to keep your new tableware organised and easily accessible during a busy service.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Avoid jamming them in too tightly to prevent chipping.
- The porcelain is extremely tough, but it's always best to avoid severe thermal shock (e.g. taking a plate from a fridge directly into a very hot oven).
- Scrape off food residue before washing to maintain the efficiency of your dishwasher and prevent scratches.
- Remember, they're covered by Olympia's Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty, giving you confidence in their long-term durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates sold individually or in a set?
A: These Olympia fondant plates are sold in a convenient pack of 4, making it easy to build your collection.
Q: Is the colour exactly the same on every plate?
A: Due to the special reactive glaze, there are slight, beautiful variations on each plate, which gives them a unique, artisan character. The overall mint colour is consistent.
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean?
A: It's a high-temperature firing process that makes the porcelain non-porous (so it doesn't absorb water or flavours), much stronger, and more hygienic.
Q: Can I use these in the microwave and oven?
A: Yes, they are designed to be safe for both microwave and oven use, offering great versatility for your menu.
Q: How heavy are they?
A: As professional-grade porcelain, they have a reassuring weight that signals their quality and durability. The total pack weight is 4.98kg.
Q: What does the BS4034 standard mean?
A: This is a British Hotelware Standard, which certifies that the plates have passed rigorous tests for strength and are suitable for heavy use in hotels and restaurants.
Q: Will the colour fade after many washes?
A: No, the colour is part of the fired-on glaze and is designed to be permanent, withstanding countless cycles in a commercial dishwasher.
Q: What are the best dishes for these 270mm mint fondant plates?
A: They are perfect for showcasing main desserts, but their size also makes them excellent for premium starters, brunch dishes, or small sharing platters.
The Olympia Advantage: Style That Lasts
Choosing Olympia tableware is about more than just buying plates; it's an investment in your brand's image. For years, Olympia has been a trusted name in the UK hospitality scene, known for striking the perfect balance between on-trend design and the kind of workhorse reliability that a commercial kitchen demands. These commercial fondant plates 270mm are a prime example. While the beautiful reactive glaze catches the eye, it's the hidden strengths – the vitrified body that resists odours and stains, and the rolled edges that shrug off daily knocks – that deliver long-term value. The included Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty isn't a gimmick; it's a statement of confidence. It means fewer replacements, more consistent presentation, and one less thing to worry about during a hectic service, allowing you to focus on what you do best: creating incredible food.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy the 'Reactive Glaze' Makes a Difference
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It's a special glazing technique used during the firing process where different minerals in the glaze react to the high heat. This reaction creates subtle, unique patterns and colour variations across the surface of each plate. It’s a bit like how no two marble patterns are ever identical.
So, instead of a flat, uniform colour, you get a finish with depth, character, and an organic, hand-crafted feel. It means that while your set of Olympia CU434 fondant plates will all be in the same beautiful mint family, each one will be a tiny bit different. This gives your tabletop a bespoke, artisan quality that you just don't get with standard, mass-produced crockery.
