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!

Just a couple of weeks ago for my brother’s 24th birthday, I made a big chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (but I’ve baked two cakes since then “just because”).
We had cake last month, no special occasion. I love the cake stands from Sweet and Saucy. They remind me of the Depression glass platters and cake stand I have of my mom’s.
The beginning of spring break for my girls!!!
The last time we celebrated with cake was our wedding! Chocolate, pistachio and champagne with lovely fillings. :)
Valentines Day! Cupcakes & Cake Balls!
My great-niece’s birthday party two weeks ago. It would have looked so much better on these pedestals!
My daughter’s first birthday and her first taste of that sugary joy known as cake. At first she was not sure what she was supposed to do, but after one tentative bite, she went to town!
P.S. Glad to have you back, Bakerella! Happy thoughts and well wishes!
Last cake–cub scout cake last Friday. But the best recent cake–malted milk cake for my birthday earlier in March!
A family get together just last weekend – red velvet with cream cheese frosting. YUM!!
The last occasion was for Valentine’s Day when my daughter and I made a cake for our family to have on Valentine’s day. These are absolutely beautiful stands, thanks for sharing and having such a great giveaway!
Oh my. Be still, my cake stand-loving heart.
BFF came all the way from CA to spend her bday with her VA family. We celebrated with beer, a crabfest and, of course, an ice cream cake.
Last Friday, it was my nephew’s birthday and I brought him a cake on our way through town that my mom (his nana) had made for him. It was a Chocolate Chocolate bundt cake! Yum!
The last occasion I celebrated with a cake was last weekend when I took a class on how to make a topsy turvy cake. It was a “hands on” class so I came home with my very own topsy turvy cake and my family loved it!
My daughter’s 12th birthday on March 13th! She made it herself!
My Mom’s Birthday on the 16th, with her favorite Caramel Apple cake… yum!

Saturday Night
It was a Cappuccino Cake
Oh My!
my oldest sweetie pie’s third birthday we celebrated with a delicious cake…. and oddly enough I went searching high and low for pink cake pedestals, but was unlucky and settled for a pretty plate :(
I baked several batches of cupcakes this past Sunday for a fund raiser for a friend. I had some leftover batter and made my husband two mini cakes because he helped me all day ~ he washed bowls and spatulas repeatedly without any complaints! The best part of baking cakes (or any goody) is seeing him smile with a crumb or two on his lip.
we celebrated my nephew’s 5th birthday with cupcakes last night!! They were “good colors” cupcakes (no artificial dyes bc my nephew has adhd)
My husband and I celebrated our wedding in June with a beautiful cake decorated with tons of fresh flowers. Now its almost our one year anniversary!
The last occasion We celebrates with a cake was to wish good luck to my little and only sister that was leaving to LA to work for ESPN. She loves 3 leches cake and chocoflan….
My birthday last week. We had to make two cakes after the dogs helped themselves to the first one as I was cooling off. :)

The last time? I make cakes every other weekend! I have to practice somehow, you know!
Who needs an occasion for cake? I brought in piña colada cupcakes to work yesterday – just because it was Monday! Cakes make everyday yum-may!
My beautiful granddaughter Bella was christened Sunday, March 27 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.
The last time I celebrated with cake? It’s been too long! Crepes, chocolate fountains, ice cream sundaes? I can remember those, but not cake!
I can’t wait for my daughter’s first birthday to decorate a pink ruffled cake. Maybe I should worry about her birth first, but this time next year, you can bet there will be a pink ruffled cake on my brain!
The last time i celebrated with a cake was two weeks ago for my fiancee birthday. I must say i’m proud that i did it myself and it would have looked great in a cake pedestal! :P
I belong to a group of parents who all had their first children in February/March 2010. We had a joint first birthday party for all of them this weekend at a local play gym. Can’t have a first birthday celebration without yummy cake!!
We celebrated my nephew’s birthday Sunday with a fantastic chocolate cake!
It’s been awhile. I’ve been on a brownie binge. :) but with this I’d be making cakes all the time.
The last time would be my nephews 1st birthday – with a mickey cake :)
I’m a poor university student, who loves to bake! These would have been perfect for the chocolate/red velvet marble cake I made for my room mate’s birthday (see it here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150459863190145&set=a.10150206050040145.431498.525180144&theater).

The last occasion we celebrated was our daughters second birthday. I made high hat cupcakes and everyone loved them!
I made a yummy Farmhouse Chocolate cake for my sister in law’s birthday back on the fifth of March. I don’t have any other birthdays to celebrate until June. That’s a long time without cake!
Last Friday – four special yaya girlfriends having a night of fun, laughs, and good eats!!!
There was no occasion, really. Just that we stopped at Carlo’s City Hall Bakery in Hoboken (of Cake Boss fame, though we have been going since before then) and got a delicious cake that my husband loves.
Hope you are feeling OK. Hang in there!
My brother-in-law passed his final exam in airplane mechanics.

The next will be mothers day! :D
The last cake occasion was my son’s 12th birthday earlier this month. He wanted a Pac Man cake. I complied to rave reviews. I love making my kids happy.
Wow, that question makes me realize that I haven’t made a cake in months. I haven’t had cake since my coworker moved from Charleston to Little Rock back in September.
I guess it’s time to make a cake to break this no cake fast I have going on!
