  • Choose white for versatility or coloured for special occasions and themes.

Quality and Storage

  • Check paper weight—heavier options (40-45gsm) resist tearing better.

How Pastry Doilies Work

Ever wondered about the magic behind these decorative paper wonders? Pastry doilies are typically made from food-grade paper that's been precisely die-cut into intricate lace-like patterns. The delicate perforations create an elegant filigree effect that elevates your baked goods instantly. Most are bleached white for that classic look, though some come in various colours to match your branding. Simply place them under cakes, pastries, or confections to add a touch of refinement—the contrast between the white doily and your colourful desserts creates that professional patisserie presentation that customers expect from quality establishments.

Top Tips for Using Pastry Doilies

For best results with your pastry doilies, always handle them with dry hands to prevent the delicate paper from tearing.
