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!

Friday! Mostly because it was the 19th anniversary of the date my husband and I went on our first date, but truthfully, in large part because I heart cake. (It was a 6 layer chocolate cake, mmm!)
My beautiful granddaughter Bella was christened Sunday, March 27and we celebrated at a fantastic restaurant. Her cake was a cannoli cake and was delicious. My daughter Tricia, the godmother, and I made beautiful cupcakes as favors for everyone. Awesome day.

I celebrated my grand-ma’s 84th birthday last week!
What a delicious photo. I lived in France for 5 years, and used to shop the “vide grenier” which basically means empty your attic – their version of a yard sale. i had a friend who collected cloches (those domed glass covers) and frequently saw pretty cake plates. As I look at this picture, I regret not having collected my own. It is never too late though! My 10 year old daughter and I have been baking up a storm, took a fondant class, and are happiest in the kitchen. The last cake was for my husbands birthday. Hazelnut dacquois layered with an almond cake, in between layers was ganache, and covering the top a raspberry butter cream and fresh raspberries. YUM!
My son-in-laws birthday – cake on the run since it was the beginning of a huge snowstorm here in Ohio – Dine and dash! but the cake was great!

I am pregnant, so I “celebrate” with cake a little too often. But my family celebrated my birthday on December 21st with a cake.
Glad to see you back and pray you’re doing well :) I hope things continue to go well with your mom’s tests. I’ve recently shared your site with some ladies from my church group and we had a cake ball making session. It was awesome and they loved it. I also made a batch of red velvet cupcakes for a Go Red campaign that my friend was having to raise awareness for the Heart Association. Thanks so much for all your inspiration and creative ideas!!
How beautiful! I made cupcakes with homemade lemon curd (and all low carb, too!) earlier this week…just because! :)

I love cake stands and these are beautiful. The last occasion I celebrated with a cake was my nephew’s birthday. I made his cake with large marzipan sharks swimming through pale blue frosting…so much fun! Thank you!
The last thing I celebrated with cake was getting to visit the Georgetown Cupcake storefront in person last week. Overpaid of cupcakes, but it was worth it once for the experience!
I must be doing something wrong in posting this. However, the last cake I made was last week with my daughter. We made it in celebration for my birthday which is this Thursday, March 31st. We made it early since she was in from school so we could all celebrate together as a family. We made a 3 layer carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
I wished I’d had a great pedestal stand for this luscious cake. As you can see I just had a basic platter to put it on.

Glad to have you back :) You are in my thoughts and prayers. I just love your site with all your creative ideas!! The last occasion we celebrated with cake was a double “guy” Pirate birthday party earlier this month (ages 19 & 31).
