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 son’s 3rd birthday last week…we had cupcakes and icecream cake!
We had a cake decorating party with instruction at a church event a couple weeks ago.
We celebrated my 30th birthday with my family over the weekend with delicious cake. And I am hoping that my husband gets me my most favorite cake for my actual birthday tomorrow!
This past Sunday, I was a hostess for a baby shower.
Two weeks ago to practice my buttercream skills :)

My daughter’s 10th birthday! Yummy homemade king cake!
I will celebrate my daughter’s first birthday this Sunday with a circus themed cake!
We celebrated my sister’s first baby! We made it all pink! My sister found out that she was having a little girl at the shower…it was a wonderful surprise for her!
My niece’s 4th birthday. Black icing –you know everyone was sporting an awesome smile afterwards. :-)
The last cake I made was to celebrate my daughter’s 5th birthday…we went all out…two tiered Ariel cake!! She loved it!!
The last occasion I celebrated was my little sister winning her first MMA fight (terrifying to watch!) She had to lose 20 lbs before she could fight so that meant no sweets for months poor girl! I made her a giant tiered chocolate & red velvet cake with fondant figurines which she devoured after winning! Her next fight is next month and the cake sure would look nice on a pretty pedestal!
Good to have you back Bakerella!
A co-worker’s birthday a couple of weeks ago!
I made a cake just last Saturday. It was a pink champagne cake at that!
Well, I usually make pies, but my husband wanted a coconut cake for his birthday. Of course he got his wish.
We celebrated Sunday – for no good reason other than the sun was shining – with lemon chiffon cake.
red velvet for my 25th birthday <3
I have been obsessed with making lemon cakes. Easiest recipe ever. I made 8 cakes last week!
Made a cake like my husbands favorite football field to celebrate when he passed his Series 7 Financial exam!
We made a wonderful dark chocolate ganache and peppermint buttercream cake for a dinner when I went home to visit my family and introduce my new boyfriend to them!
I brought Pioneer Woman’s chocolate sheet cake for my boss’s birthday a couple of weeks ago. Love these cake plates!!

A friend was learning how to decorate cupcakes, so of course we celebrated with the cupcakes!
Baby shower. It was so much fun!

So pretty! I have three boys. I need a little pink in my life!

I am in love with that ruffle cake!
I had ice cream cake last weekend to celebrate the husband’s birthday with his family. Yum!
My birthday!
My sister-in-laws baby shower last month . . . I made a Very Hungry Caterpillar cake for her along with accompanying cookies. Our next cake celebration will be this weekend for my 8-year old son, Xander! Love cake, love celebrating the ones I love!
My friend’s birthday – it was from a mix but made with love nonetheless!
My youngest son celebrated his fifth birthday on Mach 14! We celebrated with cake on the 13th, 14th, and 17th!
I made an Irish Tiramisu cake for my boyfriend’s sister, who’s birthday happened to be on St. Patrick’s Day :)

My boyfriend’s 30th birthday last month complete with a carrot cake… our favorite!
I made a yummy molasses cake a few weeks ago when we had some friends over for dinner – just because! :)
The last time I made a cake was a couple weeks ago. I think I’ll just call it the March cake. It was celebrating Marchness. Other than that, I did do a cheesecake for a friend’s birthday sometime last year. Cakes really are a “whenever I feel like it” event.
The last cake in my life was simply to celebrate cake decorating. Is that terrible? Cake doesn’t require a special occasion to participate in my life.
We celebrated a coworker’s birthday. It was our fourth cake in two weeks!
the last time I saw my dear friend.
I love, love, love cake stands!! And cakes :). Our last cake was a crane cake. I baked, my dearest beloved decorated. That’s how we roll. I’m a sucker for a cute cake stand, though… :)
Last night. Our square dance caller is moving to FL, and I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for his send-off!
The last occasion was our sixth wedding anniversary in January!!
My mom stayed up all night for a week making costumes for my dance company – so we bought a Jewel Osco cake!
That place is the only non-homemade baked goods we eat1
I made boozy carrot cupcakes for my Dad’s 60th birthday this year. The only thing better than cake is *crunk* cake!
I’m glad you’re feeling better and up to posting these days.
you’re the best Bakerella! and so is Melody!
last cake occassion: my daughter’s 20th birthday in January… too long ago!
My friend’s Top Chef Party, the cake would have looked even better on a pedestal!
My Dad’s 65th birthday!
January 15th, my birthday!
My birthday on Thursday!
My Birthday!!!
my birthday last Saturday!
I made a chocolate cake for my dear friend’s birthday just last week.
That would be my husband’s birthday, which was March 16th! Our youngest turned 4 on March 22nd, but we did a brownie pizza dessert that day, complete with fondant dinosaurs!
My daughter’s 4th birthday at the start of this month!
Oh my gosh I’m totally loving the…. ehm… CAKE PLATES also! They are adorable. The desserts are also heavenly looking!! What a lovely contest and so nice of your friend!
The last time I celebrated with a cake it was my own birthday on February 23rd of this year. My fantastic gentleman friend bought a decadent delight for me from a local cake shop called Confection. Such a sweetie! (Both him and the cake!)
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was my birthday in March 16…next year’s could be prettier with these cake pedestals & dome!!
I just celebrated my 10th anniversary and made a stunning 10 tiered stacked cake covered in white fondant, with lavendar gumpaste 3D butterflies going from the bottom of all the layers all the way up to the top, graduating in size and color, with the darkest purple largest butterflies on the bottom layers, and the lightest lavendar small ones towards the top! It was absolutely magnificent!!! These stands are stunning and I’d LOVE to win them!
Who needs a reason to make a pretty cake anyway?!
Glad to see you back online. Godspeed Bakerella!
Our friend from out of town came home to stay with us this weekend, I always make him treats & cake was one of them!
Last time I had cake was for my mom’s birthday in January…Lady M’s mille crepes cake. :)
My daughters 6th birthday last week. Fairy cake!
The last time we celebrated with an actual cake was my mom’s 71st birthday just last weekend. Red Velvet..but I am embarrassed to say store bought. Still a yummy treat and a wonderful reason to celebrate!
Comment! These stands are ADORABLE!!! PS: I made blue & pink cake pops for a baby shower today – they were a hit!
My co-worker’s birthday a week ago… Ice cream cake! The next one I’m having is next week when my brother and sister-in-law do their gender reveal for their first baby. When they cut the cake it will either be blue or pink inside! I’m so excited! : )
Today! First time to make a cakeball. My son’s were so excited!
For my daughter’s 2nd birthday! I made my first two tier cake and with bright neon colors. I loved it!
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was my friend’s little boy’s 2nd birthday. He LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba so I made him a Yo Gabba Gabba smash cake.
My sister’s birthday!!!
My Wedding Day!!
I love Sweet and Saucy! Their cupcakes and cake pops are my favorite!! I’m super excited to see them featured on your blog! Last time I had cake was 2 weeks ago when I made Nutella/Chocolate cupcakes and Raspberry/Chocolate cupcakes for a visit from my parents.
Last time we had cake was this weekend at my mom’s, grandpa’s, and my aunt’s birthday. All of which where born within the same week of march. I love these pedestals! So adorable!
The last celebration I had with cake was my mom’s birthday this February. I made your Red Velvet Cake and cream cheese frosting :). But instead of making the cake red, I made 4 different colors and made it “tie dye” with neon tie dye icing (it was a groovy themed b-day :P…we played awesome music like The Monkees and such).
My sister’s baby shower on February 19th!
Last week was my uncles birthday. We still celebrate every birthday in our family at my Aana’s (maternal grandma) house. All 94 of us. We eat cake ALL THE TIME.
And muktuk and fish and seal and caribou. But most importantly, Cake.
This week are two of my cousins birthdays, then next week is my nieces birthday, then the week after that is my daughters birthday, then right after that its MINE…and one of my other cousins. Then the sixth of May is two of my aunts, my brother in law and two of my cousins birthday…etc. for the rest of the year. :)
We celebrated TODAY. :) We made CUPCAKES!! :0 My daughter and I can usually celebrate with CAKE everyday ;)
My Mom came to visit two days ago with my brother and sister and a friend and made chocolate and cherry jello cake with white chocolate pudding frosting… just to celebrate being together (and, of course, this new growing baby in my belly). I think when cake appears on the table it creates its own celebration.
My sweet little son’s 2nd birthday.
I ADORE these cake stands. They’re perfect. I had cake at a baby shower I threw for my sister a few weeks ago. :)
Meringue and more meringue. The cake I made was a meringue layered cake with lemon custard in between the layers. The top is an italian meringue frosting. For my mom’s birthday =)
My son’s 6th birthday was last week – we celebrated with a delicious 2 layer chocolate cake with rich vanilla buttercream frosting topped with a wonderful chocolate ganache. Oh my gosh it was so good!!
When didn’t I celebrate cake? The MOST recent was my father’s birthday with a cake i decorated to look like a golf course (with a bunker of course). I made duckling cupcakes for my twins birthday party at preschool the month before, and in January I made a monarch bedecked chocolate cake that I would literally have eaten by myself if no onwas at home to see me (Oi!!!!)
When one of my favorite bosses left for WA in February. I sent her off with an entremet of cherry cake, rice pudding, cherry mousse, and chocolate ganache.
My litte girl’s 3rd birthday party. It was toy story theme and the cake was sooo GOOD!
The birthdays of my husband, sister and sister’s boyfried (which happen to fall on three consecutive days … lot’s o’ cake!)
I don’t know if an international comment can participate of the giveaway but there is no harm in trying… The last occasion i ate cake was to celebrate the end of the school.
You need a reason for cake??? Well if that’s the case we celebrated CHOCOLATE! Mainly because mommy needed it.
I think I need a pink ruffle cake pronto as well :) lovely photos!
Earlier this month I made rainbow cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday tea party. :)
I made chocolate covered cherry cake for what would have been my grandma’s 61st birthday. She died 3 years ago, and was my inspiration for starting nursing school. Chocolate covered cherries were her favorite candy, so I decided to remember her with her favorite candy in cake form.
I have died and gone to heaven. Which do I look at first, the cakes or the pedestals?
You know, I need more cake in my life, the last time was at my husbands birthday last fall. Much too long.
Jen @ Muddy Boot Dreams
LOVE THESE!!
Last celebration with cake was for a friend’s going away party last Friday. Berry lemon chiffon cake…. yummm
The last time I celebrated with cake was for my grandmothers 89th birthday!
My 5 year anniversary at work =)
For my daughters friends 3rd birthday and the party (I made the cake and cupcakes) was featured on Amy Atlas!!! Talk about celebration, I almost made a cake to celebrate making a cake!!!! :)
My fiancee’s little brother’s birthday. We have celebrated several birthdays since but not with cake :(
I can’t even remember! If cupcakes count, it would have been around St. Patty’s day. I made some Chocolate Peanut Butter Irish Cream Cupcakes. :)
The last celebration was my very own birthday! Banana cake with chocolate frosting… mmmm!
Oh man, how gorgeous! And I never need an occasion for cake — the last cake I made was a four layer chocolate cake for Sunday dinner!
OOOOOO!!!!!! I was just talking to a friend about my desperate need for a cake stand of my own! For the last year or more I have been baking little sweets for friends and family; the last of which was my friend Ali’s wedding shower! I have been borrowing cakestands from friends and coworkers because I just haven’t found one I really wanted… but this… PLEASE!!!!!
I mean… PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP?!?!
I would use it for my weekly bible study
I have not had a cake this year so far. Hopefully I will soon..next month for my love’s bday.
My husband’s birthday, it was in Febuary, I made yellow cake with green frosting and strawberry jelly for the middle layer.
I celebrated my craving for cake with a chocolate cake with chocolate covered strawberries on top. there’s still some left in my fridge. I think I’ll go have some now :)
A very nice lady in our office made Cake Pops for Valentine’s Day. . .
Nephew’s birthday – but it wasn’t on a nice pedestal! How wonderful it all looks stacked.
Best of health to you…
In love with cake stands and their versatile uses!
At age 50 I am just now venturing into the baking world, with some trepidation. Recently I made a German chocolate cake for my father-in-law’s birthday party – – from scratch. I was so nervous about the frosting but it turned out to be delicious. I think I was more proud of myself for the cake than my father-in-law was at turning 75!
My hubby’s birthday on Friday. A yummy Tres Leche Cake!
What occaison DON’T I celebrate with cake?? The last one was a visit from friends out of state, and I brought an assortment of cupcakes – all recipes I’d been wanting an excuse to try out. Before that it was a baby shower… but we really don’t need an ocaission….
And I love these pedestals! Gorgeous!
I made a triple layer mandarin orange cake for my nephews baby dedication =)
A co-workers birthday. I made a rich flourless chocolate cake. Yummy!
The baby shower for my first granddaughter!
My baby shower about three weeks ago.
We celebrated my husband’s NEW job after being unemployed for over a year a half!! We had a double chocolate cake with chocolate sprinkles to celebrate!!
The last time we celebrated with cake was my hubby’s birthday way back in September of last year. It’s just awful, I know but having a new baby 6 days before my own birthday really threw my baking time out the window. But I know that if I had a really pretty pedestal set then I would totally bake more.
this weekend we celebrated my sweet son’s 5th bithday!
The last occasion I celebrated with a cake was Valentine’s Day. My hubby loves peanut butter, so I made a heart-shaped 2-layer PB mini-cake with choc frosting and put it on my mini cake stand (the only one I own! I know, tragic, lol) and served it to him for V-Day dessert.
It’s amazing how the right cake stand can fancy up even the simplest cake!
I Really Like Them all U.U
Last time i had cake in my sis Birthday and it was really yummey (=
That would be my son’s 8-month birthday cake. Up until he turns a year old, I am and have been making cakes each month to celebrate him turning a whole month older :)
We had cake Sunday, just because.
My sister in law’s birthday! We made your peanut butter cup cake…yummy!
The last occasion was Friday. No, seriously, just because it was Friday! No other reason.
My fiances birthday!
A Sunday…at my grandma’s…just because! :)
For breakfast with my little girl…just because. :)
the last time i had cake was the happy coincidence of Mom’s tree having too many lemons and Polly posting her Lemon Bundt Cake recipe, so YUM!
My brother, not quite a year younger, and I celebrated our birthday together with 2 cakes, one chocolate with mousse and the other yellow with sweet fondant yellow flowers.
At a baby shower for a freind a week ago.
We celebrated my son’s 1/2 birthday with a 1/2 cake. He was super excited and I thought it was such a fun idea. We didn’t have a party with friends or anything….just our little family and some super yummy cake! I even put in 3 and a half candles (smooshed one of the candles down so only 1/2 would be visible out of the cake).
Double Baby Showers with tons of the sweetest mini cupcakes!
Mmm… the last cake I made probably would have been around the holidays. I made a pumpkin praline cake. Awesome!
Love those pedestals! I made a triple-layer chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for my husband’s 32nd birthday. It was my first ‘fancy’ cake and turned out wonderfully!
My third baby’s first birthday, Sunday before last. Carrot cake. He loved it.
A very belated birthday for my bestest friend when she visited recently.
Celebrating my sons 6th Birthday (trying out fondant for the first time).
I must say I love Melody…..been following her for about 2 years :)
My father-in-law’s surprise birthday party. He doesnt like a big fuss, so we had to fib and say he was coming to our house for dinner. We showed up to start setting up the party, while he was in the shower getting ready. We were praying he didnt come out in his underwear! LOL!
Love your blog by the way!
The last time I made a cake was for no reason other than I had not made a cake in a while. I think that’s the best reason!
My birthday was on the 16th, and my husband made me the most scrumptious chocolate cake with caramel and chocolate crunches in the middle.
For Christmas I made a chocolate spice cake with a chocolate bourbon buttercream…it was amazing!
Well I don’t really need a special occasion for cake but my 14th wedding anniversary was last week and now I want some cake! Thanks for the chance to win.
I made a BIG cheesecake for my brother’s 22nd birthday!!
I made a chocolate cake for my 3-year-old son’s “potty party” last month. We finally got him potty trained by promising him a potty party where we invited friends and celebrated becoming a “big boy” with chocolate cake (his favorite) and balloons!
I would use these babies for the 4 birthdays I have in May!!
<3
My nephew’s 2nd birthday earlier this month – we made Mickey and Minnie cake pops!
Christmas is one of the holiday’s we celebrate with cake!
I had cake last night! My brother made a mojito-flavored cake with rum buttercream icing for no other reason than he wanted to try out the recipe. He and my cousin are having a bake off and he wanted a test run. I will gladly be a test subject!
Oh my gosh! Every girls DREAM…what beautiful stands and cakes! Crossing fingers……My last cake celebration was actually beautiful cake pops for my mother-in-law. They turned out so cute. The last traditional cake I made was for my daughter’s 6th birthday in Feb. So cute!

I serve cake and any other SWEET at any holiday I can, I think I even make some up, LOL!!! Those are stunning….thanks for the ideas!
wow I have 25 grand and greatgrand kids and 5 grown and married kids so we have a lot of birthday parties with cakes and cupcakes all year long and my plates are functional but not pretty and dainty like these. My grandgirl would feel so special if i had these pretty cake stands hugs grama sally

I love, love, love cake plates and stack them everywhere. I served my fav choc cake for my best friend’s birthday last week.
My son’s is on Saturday!
We celebrated my son’s 1st birthday on St. Patrick’s Day!!!
Christmas!!
sadly, I can’t remember the last time.
The last “official occasion” would be a few weeks ago I made chocolate cupcakes with coconut buttercream for my friend’s birthday. But, I celebrate cake at least once a week. In our house, we don’t need a reason to eat cake :) Thanks for the giveaway :)
No special occasion needed! I had cake simply because it was Saturday!
my daughter’s birthday on Valentien’s Day!
I last had cake for St Patty’s day…and would love this for Easter!!
The last time I had cake was my mom’s birthday last week, we had strawberry shortcake.. yum! And so pretty!
i celebrated with a cake for my 22nd birthday last week!
Last thing I celebrated with cake was the opening of my show! And I made all my actors some amazing cake balls! It was a hit, and there will be many more to come!
Well, I eat gluten free (allergic to wheat) so I don’t celebrate with cake very often. But the best occasion to celebrate with cake is for no reason at all!! :-) I have yet to visit Sweet and Saucy, but I have heard it is great! (I am about 30 minutes from it). But if I had these stands, it would be a good occasion to make a gluten free cake or cupcakes!
For breakfast this morning, no real occasion…..but, than again every day is a special occasion!
I celebrated Sunday with cake, because it was supposed to be the last day before my big diet. I ate cake while cooking healthy foods for this week :)
A friend’s birthday!
I celebrated with a cupcake last night! And I will be celebrating my mom’s 59th birthday this Saturday with cupcakes as well. I am in LOVE with these pedestals!

I had cake for my 31st birthday last week. We moved to a new state the day before and I was feeling sad, so husband supplied a BR ice cream cake to cheer me up!
Leftover wedding cake from a co-worker’s child’s wedding. Wasn’t that nice of them to bring the leftovers to work? I could not say no. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures. I hope you are feeling better and that all the ongoing tests come back well!
