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!

My last cake celebration was my birthday back in December; it’s time for some more cake!
Our last cake celebration was a celebration for the cake itself! My 12 year old daughter really wanted to try her hand at baking and decorating a cake with fondant, so we gathered the supplies and I let her go crazy in the kitchen. The cake turned out beautifully and was delicious as well!

My hubby’s birthday last weekend – chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, on my MIL’s cake stand!
Love the pedestals and especially the look of the bell jars! I prefer bite sized treats but we always seem to have a cake for every birthday that comes along in our family. Happy slaves to tradition I suppose :) The last one was my niece’s birthday, and included the most decadent death-by-chocolate cake. Still makes my teeth ache to think about it.
Hope you’re doing well – I don’t comment often but I follow faithfully and keep my fingers crossed for you.
my moms birthday cake….. love her so much…
WOW!!! What a nice and beautiful gesture. The last cake I bake for my son’s Godmother’s B-Day was a chocolate roulade fill with nutella and vanilla ice cream topped with a sweet cajeta sauce and toasted hazelnuts. YUUUMMMM.
