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!

I made a Red Velvet Cake this past weekend. It actually didn’t turn out very well, partly because I didn’t have anywhere to put the cake when it was done baking, and I had to frost it on one of my cutting boards =)
I hope you’re feeling better!
I made a celebration chocolate cake yesterday for my family, for being great. It was gorgeous!

We celebrated Sunday two weeks ago with a cake! Hey, we like cake, so any day we have it is a celebration! ;)
Our last cake was for my DD’s bday, she turned 9 and I made a 2-tier buttercream cake with bavarian creme filling, with pink roses all over the top and cascading down the side like a wedding cake. She loved it! Also this year her baby sister was born the day after her birthday, so I think celebrating next year with 2 different sized cakes on these lovely cake stands would be perfect!
A church service at a flea market.

Is it bad that I want to fill the space above my cabinets with JUST cake pedestals. And maybe I could find really good replicates of cakes to place in them.

I was missing terribly our oldest dog Chin Chin (our surrogate child) who passed away on March 16. Feeling extremely down, I baked a Carrot Cake, a flavor she and I had shared before, to celebrate her being in my life for almost 13 years.
