What Is an Oval Baking Cup No. 5
A baking cup is a pleated paper case used in pastry and bakery to hold, bake and present individual portions. The No. 5 oval size has a 40x105 mm base and 25 mm high pleated sides, the classic format for mini plumcakes and oblong pastries. The plain white paper carries no print, so the colour of the cake stands out and the same cup fits every shop style, from the classic Italian pasticceria to the modern laboratory.
The Producer: BP Cartotecnica
BP Cartotecnica srl is a paper-converting company based in Borgo a Buggiano, in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany. Founded in 1993 by Paolo Bonelli, it specialises in cardboard trays for pastry shops and paper articles for food packaging. All materials are certified for food contact, accompanied by technical data sheets and fully traceable, in compliance with the MOCA framework (Regulation EC 1935/2004 on materials in contact with food).
Technical Characteristics
White food-grade paper, oval shape, base 40x105 mm, height 25 mm, pleated sides. Carton of 1000 pieces, EAN 8052994000674. The cups are stackable and take up minimal space in the laboratory; stored in a dry place away from humidity and heat sources they keep their shape and food-safety properties over time.
Professional Uses in Pastry and Bakery
The No. 5 oval cup is used for baking and presenting mini plumcakes and oval tea cakes, for portioning sweet and savoury snacks at the counter, and for serving pastries hygienically without direct contact with hands or trays. It standardises portions, keeps the display tidy and makes packing take-away boxes faster. Pastry shops, bakeries, hotels with breakfast buffets and catering services use it daily as a basic consumable.
Practical Tips
Match the cup to the dough weight so the batter does not overflow the 25 mm sides. With rich, buttery doughs, place the filled cups on a rigid tray before baking to keep the oval shape. The 1000-piece carton keeps your stock organised with minimal volume: one box covers a long production cycle without cluttering the storeroom.
