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!
Enter for a chance to win this dome and two pretty pink pedestals.

My roommate made a cake last week to celebrate the end of spring break! It was more of a sad event, I guess, delicious cake though.
i celebrated with cake on sunday…for no reason:)
Well, today’s my boyfriend’s birthday, so there will be a cake for that!
Valentines day for my husband! After I finished that one (http://bakography.blogspot.com/2011/02/not-for-faint-of-heart.html) I had to take a “cake break” for a bit… it was a LOT of work! But if I had these cake stands I think I would want to make a cake every day! :)
My birthday 3 wks ago!
Just this past Saturday, my nephew’s 10th birthday. White cake with bavarian creme filling with fresh strawberries from Knott’s Berry Farm Bakery. Yum, yum, yum!
my mom’s 45th surprise birthday party
We had key lime cupcakes on Sat. because I found key limes on sale at the store. Doesn’t happen often in Pittsburgh. Great excuse to eat cake… they were on sale… I had to buy them…honest honey :)
My husband’s birthday was this past Sunday and I made a bunch of different flavour cupcakes. :)
My niece’s birthday this past Sunday. I made her a custom rainbow-zebra print cake as requested!

I celebrated my new job with Red Velvet Cake over the weekend. Oh, how I wish there were leftovers…
YAY! Gorgeous! I love it!
The pedestals are gorgeous, would love to have them to display my treats! This last weekend, I went to my college BFF daughter’s 1st birthday, which I happen to coordinated the invites and cake pops favors (included my 1st attempt at cupcake pops). They also had cake at the party!
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was Valentine’s Day. Cupcakes, actually.
These are so amazing! Yay, Melody!

My daughter and her boyfriend came to dinner this past Sunday, so, of course, cake!

They’re lovely!!
Does anyone really NEED a reason to celebrate with cake? ;-) Last time was St Patrick’s day!
We had a gender reveal announcment recently to let all our friends and family know we were having a little girl by having the cake colored pink on the inside. Cakes make everything more fun!

Entirely too long ago! Will hopefully get back into the kitchen very very soon.
A baby shower a few weeks ago, for two moms-to-be. The ladies were craving coconut, so I made coconut cupcakes filled with orange curd and topped with a coconut buttercream. They were life changing, I tell ya.

I celebrated my niece’s 2nd birthday last week with a “You are my sunshine” themed cake!

The last time I had cake my dad and I went into Houston and had a slice at the Chocolate Bar. It was sooooo good. If you are ever in Houston go there. We were celebrating me coming back home.
My grandfather’s birthday, last week
These cake stands remind me of my great aunt’s home when I was a child. She collected everything red and pink and while she didn’t bake she insisted on having many beautiful cake stands to display her bakery purchased items!
Thank you for offering this generous gift! And I adore your friend’s shop!
Wait? We need an occasion to have cake? Ha. Is Saturday considered an occasion?
We had friends over for dinner a few weeks ago and made a super easy sponge cake for dessert. I even broke out my glass cake stand :)
Those look super cute and they are the perfect excuse to bake some cakes! … not that I needed an excuse anyway :-)

Love your site and these cake stands and domes are adorable. I love using cake stands to display and decorate.
St. Patrick’s Day! Yummy cupcakes, and I made “Irish Cakebombs” with Bailey’s.
My 37th birthday!
Last time we had cake was to celebrate a Tuesday! Really, do you need something major to have cake? Nah! Weeknights are so much nicer with cake, and gorgeous cake plates.
These are adorable. My last celebration w/ cake was Red Velvet Cake Pops for my class participants at the Y Tone & Sculpt class for Valentine’s Day! I consider it “Job security” feeding my class attendants “cake” in an exercise class! I hope you are feeling better and I am keeping you in my prayers.
Love this site…last time we celebrated with cake was Saturday, the 19th at my daughter’s bridal shower…8 different flavor cupcakes…huge hit. would have looked perfect on one of your pedestals!

To Melody of My Sweet & Saucy – Love your cakes and your name! ;-)
Even though I like creating dessert tables…I’m not a BIG cake eater. The last time I made a cake was for Thanksgiving for the family. Rich almond cake with vanilla buttercream!!!
My daughter’s second birthday on Sunday :) We actually did cupcakes, but only because she had already had two cakes before this weekend – lucky girl!
I made cake balls (ok, they were more like cake blobs) on Saturday to take to my daughter at college and we celebrated just being together on Sunday!
Hi Bakerella and Melody.
Let me just say that is an absolutely beautiful dessert table. If I were to choose what heaven would look like, THAT would be it! I just celebrated my birthday in February and did a cake for myself and the family. Yum!
We last celebrated with cake on February 12. My beautiful daughter’s 4th birthday! :) I LOVE this set! My girly girls will love it, too!

The last occasion I celebrated was my friend’s sprinkle shower. The next will be my husband’s this weekend!
I love making cakes! I make my kids special cakes for their birthdays (so far my favorite cake was a 3d cake for my son’s bday- it was Andy’s Bed from Toy Story with little Buzz and Woody on top.
About 2 weeks ago, we celebrated with a cake that Husband & I made together.
I guess you could say the celebration was because I was feeling better after my hysterectomy & finally felt like helping him out in the kitchen. :)
I actually just made mini black bottom cheesecakes for my twin friends’ birthdays this past Saturday. =] yum!
My mothers birthday and I need these for my soon to be 8 year old daughters birthday! Please and thanks!
Two days ago!
February 19th we celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a zebra-striped cake. The top tier was green with purple fondant stars, and the big bottom tier was zebra striped. My daughter drew what she wanted it to look like, and I made it for her. Then she made a fondant frog to put on top. It was a cool cake, but an even cooler memory making it together.
The last cake I made was for my daughters birthday – my 1st topsy turvey cake! I had never worked with fondant before but I was pretty proud of how it turned out!! Evreyone LOVED it!
I have not had cake since my son’s first birthday – December 20th – but we had 4 cakes for his b-day!! I figured he’ll only be 1 once – so I went all out!!! ;)
My dad’s birthday….homemade ice cream cake!
Those are beautiful! The last time I celebrated with cake was for my nephew’s birthday!

This past weekend for my daughter’s 7th birthday.
Just celebrated my aunt’s birthday last night with a Chocolate-Ricotta Icebox cake!
We surprised my dear friend on her birthday with song and cake at our workplace. We sang. She blushed. We ate cake!
I actually made a pink ruffle cake for my mom’s birthday last week! Mine didn’t turn out quite as perfect as Melody’s, but the chocolate cake inside still tasted wonderful.
Hope you are doing well!
My husband’s 30th birthday–just two weeks ago! I actually made the 14-layer cake you featured, complete with chocolate buttercream: )
I made a chocolate stout cake with a vanilla buttercream and espresso ganache for my dad’s birthday a month ago. It was the only time I’ve seen him go for seconds on dessert!
The last time I celebrated with cake was last Friday for my Birthday!
The last cake celebration was my husband’s birthday on March 20, but I must admit that I’m looking more forward to the next birthday in the family. I think I might make a cake!! Baby number 3 is due in a week and I’ve been craving a decadent pavlova. Would look lovely on the stand!!! :)
Beautiful! Last cake was my daughter’s birthday! And the cake was Rapunzel’s tower. I really need to learn to make cakes that are easier to transport to the party location!
My 4 year old daughters birthday… It was a homemade chocolate cake with a can of sweetened condensed milk drizzled over the top instead of frosting. She absolutely loved it and for months afterwards would tell random strangers that, “Yesterday was my birthday and Momma made me a chocolate cake!”
Oh, these are just too cute and beautiful! I’m a really big cake fan but when it comes to decorating, I usually keep it simple because I’m scared of messing up the frosting. One day I shall just practice and practice until I feel confident, but until then, I’ll stick with my tried and true methods. :)
The last event in which I had cake was my mom’s birthday, which was Saint Patrick’s Day! :D The cake was a chocolate cake with a thin layer of strawberry jam inside and covered with chocolate frosting and shavings. It was topped with 3 lovely strawberries, which my mom happily nommed.
Does ‘it’s Saturday and I’m pregnant and I want cake’ count? It would definitely have been more of an occasion with one of these gorgeous pedestals!
Wow LOVE those pedestals….beautiful. The last time I celebrated with cake? Last week….Me and my boyfriends first aniversary….decadent chocolate cake with pecans…..
We celebrated my mum’s birthday on Monday!! And I prepared her a cake decorated with buttercream. It was DELICIOUS
celebrated my dear husband’s b-day in october with strawberry cheesecake! yum….
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was at my best friends wedding rehearsal…it was a cannoli cake and later that night I went to my boyfriend’s brother in law’s birthday party and his wife made him an amazing banana cream chessecake!
Does pavlova count as cake?? I had my first pavlova on Christmas day; it was excellent!
My daughter made her favorite white cake, cream cheese frosting, no reason…just wanted cake!
My husband and I went to a cake shop just because. It was a nice little date night.
A going away party at work!
We had a cake about 3 weeks ago for no occasion at all. We made a lemon cake, and I made lemon pudding with it, but it wasn’t really our cup of tea… Next time, it will be a homemade buttercream frosting with a strawberry or vanilla cake!
My daughter’s birthday in October was the last actual celebration and it was a white chocolate with strawberry cake :)
I just made one because a good friend of ours asked if I would make him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting – poor guy is single and it gave me an excuse to whip something up! I just fell in love with a couple of cake stands on her site! I will need to save up my pennies!
My son’s Third Birthday…. A wonderful Toy Story Theme!!!!
Oh wow, the last time I celebrated with cake was a co-worker’s birthay, and we had a delicious chocolate cake!
