- Pro: The single-piece glass construction, including the knob, feels robust and looks seamless.
- Con: It doesn't have a silicone seal, so it's purely for presentation, not long-term freshness.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a beloved tea room in the heart of Chester, wanted to increase their takeaway cake sales without a major counter redesign. They decided to place their signature bakes under several Olympia glass domes to make them a focal point for customers queuing for coffee.
"We immediately noticed customers pointing at the cakes under the domes. They make everything look so much more special and hygienic. It was a small change that made a big difference to how our counter feels."
Susan Clarke – Owner
The tea room saw a noticeable 25% uplift in sales of their counter cakes in the first two months of using the domes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack with care on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratches.
- Before its first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Ensure the counter or plate you place it on is completely level and stable.
Keeping It Going
- Hand-washing is recommended to maintain the brilliant clarity of the glass.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Always lift by the knob handle to minimise fingerprints on the main dome.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and replace if damaged for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the exact internal height I can use for a cake?
A: The total height is 188mm, but you should account for the curve, leaving a usable height of around 170mm at the centre for your decorated cakes.
Q: Is this dome dishwasher safe?
A: To maintain its sparkle and avoid any risk of thermal shock, we strongly recommend washing it by hand with warm, soapy water.
Q: Will this fit over a standard 10-inch dinner plate?
A: With a 200mm (approx 8-inch) diameter, it's designed to fit over smaller side plates or directly onto a counter, but it won't cover a full 10-inch plate.
Q: Is the glass fragile?
A: It's made from commercial-grade glass, so it's designed for professional use. However, like any glass item, it should be handled with care to prevent chips.
Q: Does the dome provide an airtight seal?
A: No, it is a cover, not a storage container. It rests on the surface to protect from dust and hands, but it is not airtight.
Q: Can I use it to cover hot pies?
A: This glass dome is intended for ambient or chilled foods like cakes, pastries, and cheese. We don't recommend using it for very hot items.
Q: Is the handle a separate piece glued on?
A: No, the handle is moulded as part of the dome itself, creating a single, strong piece of glass with no weak points.
Q: How can I avoid fingerprints?
A: The best way is to always lift and place the dome using the integrated knob handle at the top.
