Diverse Design Styles and Market Demands of Cake Stands

From the perspective of Midas Company, the design styles of cake stands must be closely aligned with brand positioning, target customer needs, and market competition strategies. They should not only possess differentiated competitiveness but also balance production feasibility and commercial value.

I. Core Mass-Market Models: Consolidating the Basic Market with "High Adaptability + High Cost-Effectiveness"

Targeting customers such as bakeries, supermarkets, small and medium-sized catering businesses, and ordinary households, these are the company’s "volume-driven models," with the core focus on "strong versatility and controllable costs."

Minimalist Basic Models: Made of durable materials such as stainless steel and food-grade plastic, they feature mainly single-layer circular or double-layer square shapes with straight lines and no redundant decorations. Colors are limited to versatile options like silver, white, and black. Through "standardized molds + mass production," costs can be reduced. These models are suitable for mainstream cakes such as chiffon cakes, cream cakes, and mousses, meeting customers’ needs for "daily display and high-frequency use" and serving as the "standard tool" for bakeries.

Lightweight and Portable Models: Designed for takeaway scenarios and small events, they feature detachable brackets and lightweight trays for easy storage and transportation. Meanwhile, they are labeled with "food contact certification" to emphasize practicality and safety, attracting efficiency-focused small and medium-sized users.

II. Scene-Customized Models: Binding "Segmented Scenes" to Create Solutions

Focusing on high-frequency scenarios such as weddings, afternoon teas, and festivals, these models are designed to integrate deeply with scene atmospheres, becoming part of customers’ "scene decoration" and enhancing repurchase rates and cooperation stickiness.

Wedding Customization Line: Highlighting "sense of ceremony," 3- to 5-layer multi-tiered cake stands are launched, made of materials such as gold-plated metal and transparent acrylic. They even offer "laser logo engraving" services and cooperate with wedding companies and high-end hotels to become the "exclusive partner" for wedding cakes.

Afternoon Tea Series: Catering to the "exquisiteness" needs of cafes and dessert shops, 2-layer small-capacity stands are designed, featuring matte brass brackets paired with frosted glass trays, or bamboo trays with fine rattan decorations. These compact and "atmosphere-rich" models can be bundled with in-store afternoon tea sets to help customers increase their average order value.

III. Functionally Innovative Models: Establishing Technical Barriers by "Solving Pain Points"

Starting from customers’ "hidden needs" in use, these models form differentiation through functional design, making the product not just a "stand" but a "tool."

Vintage Luxury Models: Drawing on European classical and new Chinese aesthetics, they use materials such as aged brass and hand-painted ceramics, with details like embossing and gold gilding. Suitable for fondant cakes and vintage cream cakes, they help high-end customers create an atmosphere of "high-end afternoon tea" or "private banquets," becoming a "plus point" for their brand image.

Multi-Functional Combination Models: Featuring a "one-stand multi-use" structure — for example, the bottom tray can be flipped to serve as a fruit plate, the middle bracket can be detached as a cake shovel, and the edge of the top layer has slots for placing cutlery. These models meet customers’ needs for "one-stop meal preparation," especially suitable for small family gatherings, and enhance product cost-effectiveness through "function."

To sum up, from the company’s perspective, the design style of cake stands is not an isolated "aesthetic choice" but a comprehensive reflection of "market positioning + customer needs + business goals." By covering mass-market basic models to ensure sales volume and scene-customized models to capture segmented markets, we can meet the procurement needs of different customers, form a "high-low matching" product matrix, and ultimately achieve the dual improvement of commercial value and brand influence.
