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!

Those are the prettiest pedestals I’ve ever seen! My last celebration with cake was my daughter’s birthday in January. I made a 4 layer butter cake, used butterscotch pudding to fill the layers. It has a simple buttercreme frosting and I covered the sides in grated white chocolate. After that, I needed a rest.

Over the weekend, I went to a dance team banquet in New York. The theme of the banquet this year was diamonds and the coach’s mother-in-law (a professional cake maker) made a topsy-turvy pink and purple cake with a large sugar diamond on the top. It was chocolate and layered with raspberry mousse with buttercream frosting – amazing. Then, the coach gave me a HUGE chunk to take home to Boston… we’ll be eating it for a week!

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these cake stands as I have somewhat of a small collection of stands already. The most interesting is a wooden one with a carved scalloped edge. The cakes look amazing too. And I hope you are feeling better very soon Bakerella. My dad is on dialysis so I know it can be rough. You are in my prayers.
