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, Love, Love these cakestands. I’m with you Bakerella, that would make fantastic kitchen pics….buth then again so would so many of your pics…
Our last cake was likely for my husband’s birthday back in August! We are moving into our birthday “season” though, so I will soon have many more cakes in my future.
Today!! In fact: the cake is in the oven as I write this… and the buttercream is ready to use.
I have to practise my skills for a workshop to school kids soon, so that is the reason. And since SPRING has started, there is always a reason for (cup)cake!!
St. Patrick’s Day with green cupcakes!!
Made super cute rainbow cupcakes in honor of St Pattys day. Stands and cakes are beautiful!

The last time I celebrated with a cake (German Chocolate – yummy) was for my husband’s birthday back in December. Love those pedestals!
Girls day out! Yummy cake, great friends, what else do you need?
I bought Cake Pops book today! I was so excited to see it at my local K-Mart (like Target) in Australia.
I saw a cheap imitation of your book as well Pop Bakery or something like that. No where near as lovely as yours, her Clowns & Tigers were very amatuerish.
Love what you do!
Cakes are my hobby!! I had the honor of making my friend’s little girl’s first birthday cake for last Saturday!
St. Patrick’s Day – cake with green sprinkles!
Do cupcakes count? I mean, they’re tiny cake universes, right? I wrote out one of my chocolate cupcake recipes, and created a pretty recipe card for a class. I baked 30 cupcakes (3 times, actually – it’s a long story of spilled & stolen cupcakes – it wasn’t pretty, but I digress….) and I taught the class how to prepare and bake up the yummies.
I just got cute silicone skull cups, to make some gothic cupcakes, too.
We celebrated Friday last week at work. It’d been a looong week, and I decided to bring surprise cupcakes. With pink icing and silver dragees!

St. Patrick’s Day — I made a deiicious Irish Cream bundt cake for the first time. The recipe is very similar to the rum cake recipe that has been around forever, but uses Irish Cream instead of rum.

My last memorable cake celebration was my wedding (on 10-10-10); it was a 4-tiered cake covered in chocolate ganache!
I love baking cookies but cakes intimidate me! I’m trying to muster up the courage to make this one: http://www.womansday.com/Recipes/chocolate-cake-with-coconut-cream-recipe.html
The chocolate is for me, the coconut is for my husband!

When’s the last time I celebrated with cake? That’s easy! Shabbos comes once a week and I always prepare a cake. Cake is my family’s indulgent shabbos (saturday) morning breakfast treat.
Just yesterday! It was a co-workers b-day celebration. I have a serious cake stand problem & these are gloriously beautiful!
A sweet, dear friend suffered a miscarriage last week…she was just starting to process that she was pregnant and they lost it. When I talked to her Saturday morning she was laying out everything to start baking–but healthy things like wheat bread and zucchini bread. What the woman needed was chocolate! So I baked her a chocolate cake…piped the chocolate frosting on in ruffles (a lot like the pink cake). Took it over to her and we celebrated her life and the lives of her three healthy, wonderful children!
Honestly, why don’t doctors prescribe chocolate? It’s the best medicine out there!
Last time we celebrated with cake was for my son and husband’s birthday…I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t bake it myself!
St. Patrick’s Day…. Rainbow Cake!!

Those cake stands are so pretty!
Chocolate cheesecake last week with family from out of town. Mmmmm.
I live on campus in Australia, and so the last occasion I celebrated with cake was the birthday of one of the girls on my floor. Her mum made her a cake and brought it in, and even though it fell over and turned into icing-covered chunks of chocolate cake, it was still the best cake I’ve had in a long time.
I celebrated our friend’s birthday a few weeks ago. They were able come over with only a few hours notice so I made a chocolate box mix but of course I topped it with the buttercream recipe you’ve shared. He said I could make him a “quick cake” ANY time :-) Wow, this prize is simply gorgeous!
