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!

Cupcakes – for my BDay on March 19
Last night!! For my friend’s birthday I made a chocolate cake with mocha milk chocolate frosting and white chocolate curls. It would have looked BEAUTIFUL on that large pink stand!!
A co-workers baby shower. It was “alice in wonderland” themed and had the cutest decorations EVER!!!
the last time i celebrated with cake was when i had red velvet cake with my friend – we bakes it ourselves – and we were celebrating it being Friday :D
The last time was for my sweet little grandson’s 1st birthday. My daughter made him an adorable cake with polka dots and a duck on top holding a birthday cupcake with the number 1 in it! Too cute!!
Last celebration was my husband’s 50th birthday–with a cherry pie!
Last Thursday when I was elected president of my son’s school PTA.
So pretty!
Our last cake here was my birthday in February. :)
I just made my husbands 30th birthday cake for the party I threw him. It was a blast and the best part was cutting into and eating the delicious cake! Now, I’m going to go have leftovers!
I made a chocolate cake to celebrate my brother’s birthday a few weeks ago!
I had a cupcake yesterday from a local cupcake shop. It was the first time buying from a cupcake store and I have to say that I’ll stick with making my own instead of buying! So, since I’ll be making lots of cupcakes from now on, I really should buy a few more cupcake stands.
Buckeye cupcakes for the basketball game this weekend :)
We celebrated my 30th birthday with a red velvet cake at work! Yum-o!!!
A friend’s daughter’s wedding a few weeks ago. Passed on the wedding cake, but the groom’s cake was chocolate mousse cake. Nummies!
At my sisters bday party a couple of weeks ago :)
It’s been a while since I baked a cake at home! That beautiful cake stand would defiantly inspire me!!
I had apple spice cake with caramel icing tonight with my husband. Everyday is a party– celebrate with cake!!!!!!
My nieces 2nd birthday. I was to make the cakes. They tasted great but looked awful. I ended up giving up in tears and ordering cupcakes.
Oh wow, how lovely!
I celebrated my birthday two weeks ago. I made a vegan maple cake and my roomie made some scrumptious maple frosting!
My husband and I celebrated our one year anniversary with cake! The wedding cake was still delicious – even though it had been in the freezer for a year. :)
We celebrated my husbands birthday on a white pedestal on march 10.. 2 days late :) he blew his candles out as he held our 1 month old son! It was so fun to celebrate the first bday as a parent! :)

At my great nephew adoption, we are so lucky to have him in the family!!!!
We got a cake to celebrate everyday life a few weeks ago. I think watching Cake Boss helped.
My 40th!!! =)
My sister’s birthday was this month. We had a delicious chocolate mint cake my mom made! :)
Oh boy, I’d love to win this. It is my new hobby to make special flavor from scratch cakes for my friends as random and unexpected gifts. I just made a chocolate spice cake for my very very pregnant friend so she and her husband could enjoy the “calm before it gets crazy”. Cakes are such a special surprise and this would help make them more special.
My Mother’s birthday. What amazing cake stands- I love them all! Thanks.
my brother’s birthday – I made a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting :)
a church event! thanks for a great giveaway!

our last cake celebration was my daughter’s sixth birthday last week…. but really, who can limit cake to celebrations only??? NOT ME, lol. xoxo, buf
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was my mother´s birthday in february …. :D
I love those and need them too! We just celebrated my 17 year old daughter’s birthday with cake. Hope you are doing well. :)
My college graduation dinner! Took me six long years to finish and let me tell you, that cake of accomplishment was sure worth the mountains of student loans I now have to start paying on! :)
These pedestals are amazing! Technically the last time I had cake was a swoon worthy coffee cake that my 17 year old daughter made, it was so delicious! She made it just because and we enjoyed every last crumb!
I wasn’t really a celebration, but I baked a cake that’s going to end up being our wedding cake! Vanilla bean cake with mango lime curd and Swiss buttercream. It was divine! And I’m planning a dessert table similar to this one for the reception, but I don’t have any sweet pink pedestals.

Tonight! We made an Angel Food cake with White Fluffy Icing and Strawberries for my Dad’s 56th birthday per his request! :)
I love all of her cakes! And of course love the pedestals! It’s been quite some time since I celebrated with cake, I’ve been on a cupcake frenzy lately. I think the last time might have been a work birthday party.
On Saturday, at my grandson’s second birthday party. My daughter’s friend made him an amazing transportation-themed cake with a modeling chocolate helicopter on top. Too cute!
Would love the pink one for my kiddo’s 5th birthday. We’ve bot some time though; she just celebrated her 4th on March 22nd!
Beautiful! My 25th birthday :) Would have been much sweeter with one of those beauties!
Oh i love these! The last occasion I celebrated with cake? My fiance was having a bad day and requested I make chocolate cake for cheering up. Not really a “celebration” but it definitely cheered him up!
We just celebrated the life of a friend today. She was only 12 years old and died in a car accident last Tuesday. Since her family was unable to give her a wedding, they had a wedding cake at her funeral instead.
Celebrated a quiet day a few weeks ago with a slice of lemon pound cake.. just the perfect end to a day.
