What are the different possible formats for dessert dishes?

For a memorable ending, offer your customers beautifully presented desserts in elegant and light dishes. With their creative flavors and variety of colors and textures, desserts lend themselves to innovative presentations.

Rectangular, irregular, square, oval plates… Discover all the possibilities available!

Opt for the modern elegance of a rectangular or square plate

For a change from the typical round dessert plate, you can opt for the more modern lines of flat rectangular plates. Their elongated shape enhances any dessert: a triangular slice of cake, a round flan with a touch of coulis, three ramekins…. On the base of a rectangular plate, you can create an asymmetrical presentation, with the dessert on one side and the rest of the plate decorated with chocolate chips, fruit or coulis. Your customers’ eyes will sparkle before they even taste the dessert!

Thanks to its large bowl, the flat square plate also allows for this type of creative presentation. You can place the dessert in one corner and decorate the plate in the other three corners. These corner plates add air to the presentation and enhance the structure of the dessert. You can let the layers of a mille-feuille show through or let the melted center of a chocolate fondant flow.

Make a statement with oval dessert plates.

Professionals who love novelty and exclusivity can also opt for oval plates for their desserts. The variety of available formats allows you to combine them with the rest of your restaurant’s tableware.

You can also opt for oval plates with pointed ends, for a look that evokes leaves and other natural shapes. Sophisticated and original, these plates enhance your round or square-shaped desserts. Oval plates can also serve as a base for an ice cream sundae or a glass bowl filled with custard or mousse. This presentation is much more elegant than an individual sundae, and your customers will certainly appreciate this detail.

Surprise your customers with irregular flat plates and original materials

Opt for triangular plates, with pointed or rounded tops, or even irregular flat plates.

There are two types:

✔︎ On the one hand, there are dishes with irregular contours, with a longer rim on one side than on the other, for example.

✔︎ In other models, the base is off-center, while the outline is oval, square or round.

To create a great surprise effect in the dessert, you can also choose dishes with original colors and patterns. At Pilsa we offer a wide range of orange, blue or green porcelain plates. You will also find models that evoke nature, with the shape of a rock or a cut tree trunk…

And don’t forget something very important! In your professional kitchen equipment, always provide sufficient and easily accessible space to properly store your dishes. Thoughtful and efficient storage saves your kitchen and service team time and prevents breakage!
