Take a look at these beautiful cake stands. That is if you can see past the skyline of sweets. I absolutely love this photo. Love it. I wish I could enlarge it and wallpaper my kitchen with it. This photo and the rest in this post (taken by Ashley Rose Photography) are photos of cakes from my friend Melody’s shop, My Sweet & Saucy. We’ve been internet buds from way back when I had a blogspot.com address. And since then, she’s gone from blogger herself, to superstar baker, making the most gorgeous cakes and working with the likes of Tori Spelling, Miley Cyrus and more. I just wish she wasn’t all the way in California. Actually, it’s a good thing I’m not in driving distance. For my waistline anyway.
Oh dear. I need a pink ruffle cake in my life.
Pronto.
Look at all these cakes. I mean pedestals. Big ones. Little ones. Tall ones. Short ones.
Melody also has an online store where you can find them all in one place.
Yes, pedestals. Like this pretty little pink one. Perfect for a petite little cake.
Or stack two and you can fill it with sweet little treats.
Wait, you mean you don’t have a large and small pink glass pedestal or a sweet glass dome?
That’s terrible. Unthinkable.
Would you like one? I mean all three pieces in the photo above?
I thought you might.
Melody is giving them away to one of my readers. Yippee! Thanks Melody!

Love these cake pedestals!!! I used mine last when I entered a cupcake contest in Chicago. I put some root-beer float cupcakes on my crystal pedestal with a record and root-beer mug. Too fun! I need to order some more. : )
I honestly cannot remember the last time I had cake! Terrible! I think perhaps the husband’s bday in Jan… Do cupcakes count? I had some last weekend, just because a friend needed me to try out a new recipe =)
I Made a spaghetti & meatball cake (it was so fun and easy!) to celebrate a youth function at church! I’ve followed her site for a little while now and feel in love with that photo as well and that ruffle cake!

Birthday season in my family is starting in the next month, so it would great to have such a pretty stand to display the cakes I made on. Thanks for the chance and for sharing where to get them, Bakerella! Hope you’re feeling better, I bet if we all could, we’d all bake you a cake! I would!

I can’t remember the last event we celebrated with cake, but I made some for fun last weekend, no event to celebrate.
I too need a pink ruffle cake in my life! The last thing we celebrated with cake was my little brother Jacob’s 4th birthday party. We had a green dinosaur cake and individual cupcakes. Jacob is from Haiti and our family worked very hard to bring him home. His paperwork was started 2 1/2 years before the earthquake and once that struck, his papers were finally sent through the system! Cake is one of his favorite things (something he definitely was not used too) so it is always extra special when we get to eat it with him!
Oh her stands are so lovely!!! The last time I celebrated with cake, I have to think about this…my niece’s birthday in January. Oh that’s way too long!
I celebrated Spring Break with cake. I was excited to finally see my parents after being away for college. So I baked a cake.

My last celebration with cake was my birthday in December….way too long ago.
Good lord! We celebrate almost every Friday at work with cake, taking turns to buy one and scarf back with coffee for an extra afternoon kick to make it through the day. I don’t know what I’d do without it (except maybe be a bit thinner!!)
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was at a baby shower for my neighbor on Saturday. They had an almond cake with Bavarian cream filling and it was delish!
I work at a birth center. We make a cake when we have a baby. We put it in the oven when mom is in labor so the smell will remind her that her efforts will end in a wonderful birthday party. The last birth I attended was last Monday when Miss Aleeah Rose made her way into the world with the darkest head of hair I’ve ever seen. We had chocolate fudge cake to celebrate. :)
We just celebrated report card day with chocolate cake! Almost as yummy as those beautiful pink pedestal cake plates!

The last cake I celebrated with was for my birthday! I make custom cakes and do this for my family + extended family on their specials days!

It sat beautifully atop my first birthday gift, a gorgeous antique milk glass cake platter to add to my collection!
I made a pirate’s treasure map cake for twin 6 year olds!

My niece, Audrey’s 2nd birthday!! :)
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was, sadly, quite long ago, my birthday (on Halloween). It was an adorable red & white toadstool cake (fondant) with (icing) grass and (fondant) acorns beneath. I made it myself! I’ve wanted to make a toadstool cake since I first starting falling in love with fondant cakes a few years ago.
You can see it here! http://luxcakedesigns.blogspot.com/2010/11/tishs-21st-birthday-cake.html
