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 celebrate ANY occasion with cake! Birthday’s, holidays, ummm MONDAY!!!! LOL!
These cake pedestals are absolutely stunning! With such a great presentation like this, who says the dessert needs to taste good? Haha, obviously I’m big on aesthetics. The last time I celebrated with a cake was a couple of weeks ago when a coworker left the company I’m interning for! Yummm..
Yum! My own birthday cake in December :)
A nephews bday. His mom made the cutest angry birds cake!

The last cake we celebrated with was for me! Since I make everyone around me a cake for their birthday (they get to decide on cheesecake, cupcake, icecream cake, layered cake, etc.) I was surprised with over 17 cakes in the course of a week. There were cakes at work, game night, the restaurant, yoga class and at my parents. Best birthday present ever!

The last time I celebrated with a cake was for my friend’s husband’s birthday. I attempted an ice cream cake for the first time and ended up slicing the whole thing so small that it became a single-serving cake. I was trying to win a game with melting ice cream and weak chcoclate cake that was just impossible. He loved the cake, and I learned that ice cream cakes are not my forte.
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was buying a new car last week! Red velvet, yum!
Back in February for my birthday – heart shaped chocolate cake!

Yumm… I want to make more but I need another occasion to do it otherwise I’d finish the whole cake by myself! :)
