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!

Last time we celebrated with cake was 2 weeks ago at my son’s 8th birthday party….football theme.
My friend Christy’s birthday…the big 4-0!
My friend’s 60th birthday.
My husband and I went on a date night last Friday, and capped the evening by sharing a piece of cake. It counts as a celebration since we’re counting down our last few footloose-and-fancy-free days before baby comes!
My sister’s birthday last week!
My hubby’s birthday. Next will be my daughter’s First Holy Communion; these would be perfect for that!!!
My husband bought me the most beautiful cake for my birthday on March 21st. It was decorated just like a present!
My birthday!! Just a couple of weeks ago. =]
These photos are BEAUTIFUL!!
My husbands birthday was the last occasion for cake. But easter is around the corner and it would be great to celebrate with one of these cake stands!
Future sister-in-law made a cake for a surprise mini-bridal shower at Bible Study last week!
I made a CherPumPle Cake for a co-workers Birthday a little over a week ago! It was such a fun (and yummy) challenge!
My husband’s birthday. Coconut cheese cake. Also, my daughter’s is tomorrow! There will be ribbons and lace!
A 5 year old birthday party on Sunday. Cake made by grandma, eaten outside in freezing cold!
Oh it was a monday and I needed some cake:) Great way to celebrate!
My own birthday!
We just celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday (3/22) with cake! (Lots of cake, it was a “baking” birthday party!)
Why, my birthday of course! And I didn’t even have to make it myself!
We had cake a week ago for my daughters 13th Bday……actually we had three cakes and a ton of cupcakes. She is my daughter totally and started baking and cooking when she was 8. She decided that she wanted to take cupcakes to each of her classes in school….that would be 7 classes times 23 (approx). She also wanted to take cupcakes for her swim team…roughly 65 girls and coaches. We had a family cake and then we had two cakes for her birthday party since some of her friends have allergies. She did all most all this by herself……she is awesome!!!
My husband’s birthday!!
Last time I had cake was about at my sister-in-law’s birthday celebration about two weeks ago. Mine’s next!! :)
I did a baby shower for a friend of mine. We had a wonderful time celebrating the life of her 2 baby.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway.
I just had both of my kids birthdays in one week and my husband’s birthday is today! That’s a lot of cake!! :)
I am always randomly baking cakes etc for co-workers or family. My best friend is getting married in June and we will be having in her bridal shower next week. Im hoping to make that beautiful pink ribbon cake…would look gorgerous on one of those stands haha
The last time I baked a cake was…..in February? For my little brothers birthday!
Crossing my fingers!Claire
This past weekend! Celebrating my son’s 6th birthday.
My 3-yr old son’s birthday – the 5th cake finally turned out, what a disaster!
Oh how I love cake! My daughters second birthday 2 weeks ago with chocolate cake and strawberry cream cheese icing (homemade of course). Delicious… And messy:)
We had margarita cupcakes for the Super Bowl – going with a Tex-Mex theme for the Dallas locale.
WELCOME BACK!!! So good to hear from you again. We should celebrate this post with cake! :)
The last time we celebrated with cake was probably my husband’s birthday in December! That’s too long, I know.
Blessings!
I make a lot of cakes and sweets for other people’s celebrations and we keep what cake pops or cookies I make extra, so I guess you could say we celebrate the average day with cake. :) But I think the last time we made an actual cake just for us to celebrate with, it was my birthday in January. Chocolate cake filled with strawberry ice cream. Yum!
We celebrated my daughter’s 8th birthday with an American Girl themed party with a beautiful table scape of pinks and light greens. We used my Great Aunt’s antique dishes. It was just gorgeous! The girls had a ball and I think I had just as much fun planning it! Those pedestals would have been perfect! Love them!
My friend’s daughter’s 3rd birthday with butterfly and flower cupcakes made by moi!
Such beautiful replicas of true Depression glass. I just want them all! (and am so happy to see you posting again, too!)
You need a special occasion for cake at this house we have a BIG sweet tooth so you can find cake here every week.
I had cake last weekend for my mom’s birthday but I don’t need a celebration or excuse for cake. I think you can eat cake any day!
We had cake at work to celebrate my promotion!
I bake for every weekend and never require a special occasion to display the treats on a pretty pedestal.
My daughter’s 4th birthday in November
These are just beautiful! The last celebration we had with cake was my baby boy’s 3rd birthday and it was a Toy Story cake, or “Kids Story” as he says ;0)
My birthday was yesterday, and a fabulous coworker brought me cupcakes to celebrate! :) Love the glass pedestals. They remind me of the glassware my grandmother had when I was growing up. I was never allowed to touch it, but I loved the way the light shined through it. Simply beautiful!
I throw an annual St.Pattys Day party. We had cake there.
my bridal shower a few weeks ago! and the next time will be at my wedding!
I truly celebrate with cake and/or cupcakes whenever I can! I adore cute stuff like the pedastals that you always feature on your website. I suppose the last time I celebrated with a cake that I made (from scratch of course!) would be for my husbands most recent birthday. It was made with Valrhona Chocolate and was DIVINE!
I attended a tea party at my daughter’s pre-school. It was super cute and one of the moms made the most adorable cupcakes for the event. What a lovely Mama-Daughter moment.
That ruffle cake is gorgeous! And the cake stand is soooooooo pretty…
The last time I had cake was a pink princess castle I made for a three-year old. I warmed some pink frosting, dipped sugar cones, and rolled them in sparkly sugar for the castle towers. Fun!
my nieces b-day

I am going to celebrate my birthday on Thursday the 31st and I’m baking a three layered Red Velvet Cake. There won’t be a party though… this year, the cake itself will be the celebration and the gift to myself! (although I promise not to eat it alone)
We had cake for my second son’s 2nd birthday on March 20th. Would love to have those pretty stands for my daughter’s birthday!
So happy to hear you’re feeling better!!
The last time I actually made a cake to celebrate was for my daughter’s birthday last December. But any time you get to eat cake makes it a celebration!
I just made a cake for my daughter’s Father Daughter Dance. It was a 50’s sock hop. They had a blast!
A friend’s 30th Birthday – carrot cake!
I hope cupcakes count! I made cutie ones for my son’s 6th birthday on Thursday. I’m due with baby #3 in 2 weeks so a whole cake seemed too daunting this time! We’ll do a big cake in a few weeks when we have his big party! And I’m not sure how having a newborn and making a cake doesn’t seem daunting, but hey! I’ll figure something out! =)
Two weeks ago I made a cake for my son’s 13th birthday. It was an iPod touch! First time I ever used fondant and it turned out perfect!
This month has been filled with cake (co-worker’s 40th bday), cupcakes and cake pops! But, really, do you need a reason for cake?
My neice’s sweet 16th. I didn’t make the cake but I did make 300 assorted ‘cake’ pops from oreos and wafer cookies. They were yummy! I dipped the tops of the strawberry cake pops in strawberry pop rocks. The kids loved them!
We just shared a chocolate cake in a mug Sunday. No special occasion just hungry for something chocolatey!!
A co-workers birthday a few weeks ago!
I celebrated Monday with cake…

I am about to make a cake for my daughter’s 6th birthday.
I can’t remember the last time I celebrated with a cake! I make them on the side so I don’t ever think to order or make one for myself… I had brownies for my birthday. Does that count? :)
Sunday- It was cheat day!
:)
Saturday for my daughters 4th birthday!
The last time I had cake was for my 10 year olds birthday party last September. I love cake but don’t get it too often. Though I did pull out some Cake Pops from the freezer. Tasted great. They were from Christmas time.

My last sweet treat was for a dinner party last weekend. Homemade banana cream pie. My kids are still begging for more. In fact, my daughter has changed her birthday request from chocolate cake with buttercream icing to another banana cream pie.
Just gorgeous!!! Melody is a super talented lady with spectacular taste! Would love to win the cake stands… Especially since the one I have dips in the middle, leaving my cakes having a sunken middle look. :(
*fingers crossed!
I had cake on my birthday!
I celebrated that it was Friday (last Friday) with cake pops!!!! What a great end to the work week!!! Plus, I has so many left over I was able to share the fun with many others!!! :-)
Everyday is a reason to eat cake! But I would have to say it was my Birthday!
Oh my, these are beautiful!! My daughter’s birthday was in January, so it’s been awhile since we’ve celebrated with cake . . . but there’s a baby shower in April coming up and this would be perfect!!
What an unbelievably enticing table of sweets. Just beautiful. The last cake we celebrated was my mother’s 80th birthday. She flew to Ohio from Florida for the event. Wish she still lived in Ohio!
Sadly, there has been a dearth of cake in my life as of late. The last cake we celebrated with was my boyfriend’s mom’s birthday in November. However, it was awesome! :)
I think the last time I celebrated with cake well actually cupcakes was right before St. Patrick’s day. I made some for my colleagues.
Yesterday we had a baby shower for one of my co-workers, and this past weekend we had cake for my niece’s 8th birthday! Lots of cake celebrating around here!
why a birthday party of coarse, well, that was the last celebration at least…and since then, I think I made one just because :) I may just have to learn how to do that ruffle frosting thing if I win the pedestals…that would be awesome!!!
Beautiful birthday cake for a student.
A dear friend on Sunday!
Last Saturday niece’s birthday, having cake again this Saturday, nephew’s birthday. Yum! =)
For absolutely no reason in particular just a couple weeks ago with my sister. You says you have to have a reason to celebrate to eat cake :)

Do cupcakes count? Because I hosted a girl’s night at my house and desert was key lime cupcakes and cookies & cream cupcakes. The last “traditional” cake for a celebration was for family birthdays in January.
Last week I made 2 wonderful cakes as a thank you to a committee of volunteers who worked hard on pulling together a fundraiser for a children’s charity. They both disappeared.

I frequently bake cakes and other desserts for fundraisers and birthdays, and with these, my cakes would look even more beautiful! (and I wouldn’t have to keep cutting up cardboard boxes to make a sturdy carrying table…ah, the life of a recent college graduate). Simply beautiful, and I hope whoever gets them enjoys them in person as much as I am enjoying them in my imagination!
By the way, I hope you are feeling much better, Bakerella!
