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!

We had a Happy Tuesday cake last week because I was craving it!

I’m so in love with these cake stands! I’ve been drooling over them since i first discovered them. I can’t remember the last time I celebrated anything with cake (though there have been cupcakes!!!) but I will be celebrating a year of starting my own business next month. That’s definitely a cake-worthy occasion :)
Just a couple weeks ago, and it was just because I felt like a german chocolate cake.
So pretty! Those pictures were amazing too!
Just last week, made a special cake for our school custodian who just became a grandma for the first time. But really, who needs a reason to eat cake. Its good anytime. LOL

My baby boy first birthday.
It’s been way too long – my mom’s birthday in the beginning of December! I need to go bake a cake, just because it’s Tuesday =)
The last time I celebrated with cake was on Sunday. We had friends over for dinner and had a cake for dessert to celebrate being with the ones we love. If you are asking about a formal event like a birthday then the last time I celebrated with a cake for that was in February for my best friends birthday. Personally I think a cake on its own is a reason to celebrate! <3
I celebrated my birthday last week with a piece of ice cream cake. A rare treat for myself.

We had cake Sunday night, just to celebrate having cake! We never need a reason… The time before that was last Thursday, for my nephew’s b-day. I think the cake stands make them taste better:)

We had one for my daughter’s birthday last month! My sister-in-law designed it to match her owl pinata! SO CUTE!

Girls night!
My birthday last Friday!
Would you could you send it to France? The last occasion was a carrot cake I made to surprise a friend for his birthday. He’s Maldash (?) from Madagascar, so I think all the pineapple and spices were right up his alley. It was HUGE hit with the French crowd, let me tell you, especially with the cream cheese frosting.
I celebrated Valentines Day with a heart shaped red velvet cake that I made myself! :)
The beginning of the month for a co-workers birthday!
AAACK! You’ve hit my latest addiction! I’m so into cake pedastals and ways to display (specifically) sweets!!! I LOOOVE these :)
The last big occasion in which I was able to use (my measly ONE cakestand that I had at the time) was my hubby’s birthday last year in October.
I also had a bakery do some cupcakes and they lent me their absolutely gorgeous cupcake stand!!!
I found the stand in a store after the party – and it’s (to this day) taking all my energy not to run down there and buy it!
I recently bought a petit four stand that’s absolutely gorgeous and am just LOOKING for an excuse to use it!
We celebrated this past Sunday with cake for a friends’ housewarming party! We were celebrating her buying a house after leaving a very unhealthy 12 year relationship. The cake made the party!

I really need these pedestals in my life, like stat! The last cake I had was really a cupcake, a half dozen to be exact from Crumbs Bake Shop in NY. They were huge and delightful! I will definitely order them again! My favorite was the Elvis (peanut butter and banana combo, yum!).
son-in-law’s birthday, today!
The last event I bought a cake for was my wedding. Choosing a cake was more difficult than choosing my dress. What flavor? What frosting? What type of decoration? The choices were endless. Ended up going with red velvet!
Love the cake pedestals!! My baby will be one on Friday and there will be cake. Before that? We celebrated my oldest’s birthday with pirate ship cupcakes in March.
My husband’s birthday a few weeks ago. What adorable cake stands!
Oooo those look so cute! The last time my family celebrated with cake we had just finished organizing our garage! :) It was the most delicious tres leches tequila cake, YUM!
My birthday! Which is today! And incidentally, I made myself a pink cake with white ruffle frosting. It would look so pretty on a pink stand!
A cake to celebrate the life of a friend that was taken from this earth far too early. We celbrated his life – he would have been proud.

Is it wrong that the only reason for celebrating was that I made a pretty cake? Well somebody had to eat it… so why not have a party.

It is so sad…I know, but I actually can’t remember the last time I celebrated with cake :-( I have been feverishly working on my dissertation and haven’t had a chance to celebrate anything since New Years (and I didn’t even have cake then either). But I so look forward to celebrating (perhaps even eating an entire red velvet cake all by myself) after graduation this May!!!
This reminds me so much of the Mother’s Day tea party I threw for my family and friends. Each person brought their mother or mother-in-law if their own mother couldn’t be there and we had so much fun. We had peach tea, cherry lemonade and a ton of sweets, savories and croissants. We played a few games, gave prizes and everyone went home with a gift bag full of sweet things to remember the day. It was so much work, but everyone really seemed to enjoy it. If I can build up my energy reserve, I will do it again…. So I guess my answer would be tea party.
Last Tuesday when my son turned five.
2 weeks ago. I made a 3 tier Disney Cars cake, complete with about 15 of the die-cast crew for my boys 1st and 3rd birthday party!
Of course it was a birthday! With 5 sons, 4 daughters-in-law, a husband and 9 grandchildren, someone is always having a birthday, and I am the baker for all of them. I’d love to show off the cakes on these stands.
soooo great to have you back bakerella. missed you bunches. my daughter just requested a strawberry shortcake for her fourth birthday this thursday. i think im more excited than her. not sure if the excitement is stemming from her turning four or the mmmm strawberry shortcake. cant wait.
This past weekend…just because my parents were stopping by to visit. :)
