Pretty Pedestals

1

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.

6

Or stack two and you can fill it with sweet little treats.

2

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.

  45. I don’t need a special occasion to celebrate with cake, but the last occasion was my birthday.

  46. We celebrated my husband’s 34th birthday last week with a yellow cake and homemade chocolate frosting. It was my first attempt with the frosting and as a true novice, I learned that you really should wait for the cake to cool before icing it. Although, the way it melted and then soaked into the bottom of the cake made for a very rich dessert!

  47. I handed out cake pops to all of my friends for the first day of spring :)

  94. I just celebrated this past weekend. Actually it was bittersweet…I had a customer who ordered a custom Grave Digger cake and when I emailed the finished cake to her she decided it just didn’t look like a monster truck and refused the cake. I cried. I admit it. It’s my first unhappy customer and well, everyone on FB loved it. I was shocked someone would not only refuse the cake but demand ALL the money back. Long story short…I gave her half her money back and kept the cake. All 50 pounds of it. I also entered into a cake competion the same weekend and won second place. I came home and celebrated with my family and my lovely Grave Digger cake.

  101. Do cupcakes count? Then last night, just because we wanted some! Other than that, if you mean a “real” decorated cake…. then it was a party at my neighbor’s house! I could *SO* have used one of the delightful pink pedastals! At Christmas we have a dessert party for the neighborhood and — oh my, with so many cakes, we could decorate the whole room with pedastals if we were lucky enough to have some!

  118. The last time I made a cake was for my family to celebrate weekend desserts! We are trying to eat healthy and therefore only eat dessert on weekends. It was a lovely carrot cake that was stuck in a green Christmas plastic carrier because it is all I have. My baby (she is 30, I am 43) sister’s bridal shower is being held at home and these pieces would be lovely. To let you know, I love your blog. Peace. :)

  128. The last occasion I celebrated with a cake was about a month ago when I made my very own cake (including icing) from scratch! I made a 2-layer rainbow tye-dye cake with buttercream icing and filling, topped with sugar cookie “candies.” I got up early to attach the cookies on the cake and brought it into work Monday morning to celebrate my 1st home-made cake. Since then, I’ve discovered buttercream icing isn’t always the best when it’s made mostly of just butter :)

  142. The last occasion I celebrated with cake was my 42nd birthday. My hubby had a couple of my dear friends in Hawaii surprise me at our home. It was the best birthday ever!

  143. to be honest, i’m having trouble remembering the last time i had real cake! maybe it was my birthday in january? i think my difficulty to remember means i should celebrate things more often, just for an excuse to have cake!

  144. Just because at my parents’ house!

  145. A baby shower I hosted for my sister in law!

  146. A joint birthday party with 3 of my close friends that doubled as a high school reunion! We had a cake, cookies, and cupcakes. Mmmm I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

  147. My nieces birthday. About two weeks ago. Her Dad and I made her a horse cake. SUCH FUN!

  148. I made a triple layer chocolate mint cake for St. Patty’s Day. I think every holiday calls for celebration with a cake!

  149. The last moment I truly celebrated with a cake was my 25th birthday last November. I’m studying to be a baker and pastry designer at the moment, so my first thought when my birthday came around was ‘Please tell me I don’t have to make my own birthday cake!’ I love baking and it was the one day that I didn’t want to HAVE to bake a cake.

    It was a chocolate cake, with a chocolate mousse filling, and chocolate ganache frosting from a local bakery. I LOVE chocolate and have a major sweet tooth and weakness for all things sweet, and delectable, so it was a birthday to remember!

  150. For my birthday, my best friend baked me a gorgeous and delicious birthday cake which I shared with a group of friends at my birthday brunch!

  151. My boyfriend bought me a hummingbird bakery cupcake today because I had to work late :)

  161. I made a devils food cake for my birthday last weekend!

  162. I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with cake =) But then again I bake a cake for all holidays! (Mostly because I like cake… hmm and I wonder why I can’t loose weight haha)

  170. My mother turned 62 last month and I threw her a Dessert Party!

  175. My wedding this past September!

  176. March 26, 2011. My cute niece’s wedding. Congrats Kara and Wayland.

  177. I just had 2 kinds of cake on the weekend with my family to celebrate my brother’s birthday =)

  178. My son’s wedding just a week ago. I made the groom’s cake. I made fondant frogs, turtles, lily pads, goldfish and other things to resemble the goldfish pond they made themselves last year.

  179. We last had cake two weeks ago in celebration of a friend’s birthday. It was delicious!

  180. So pretty..gorgeous cakes and pedestels to match. Love the look of the pedestals, very old fashioned, look to them, I just love that look. In answer to your question, the last “cake” I had was this past Sunday. It was my birthday! Tra-da! We had an Ice Cream cake. The best of both worlds,cake and ice cream. My Children and Grandchildren were here too. Priceless! Does it get any better then that ?

  181. My Son’s 6th birthday party. I made 4 dozen cupcakes and a birthday cake!

  182. We just make cakes to have them! I love cakes! I baked chocolate cupcakes last month. I made smores cupcakes for my daughter’s western themed 7th birthday party too! Those cupcakes would have looked nice on these stands! (instead of my everyday white platter) :)

  183. We have lots of crappy cake at our office parties. But I haven’t had a decent slice of cake (ricotta chocolate cake!) that I made in February.

  184. I’m firmly of the opinion that you don’t need an occasion to celebrate. I made Boston Creme Cupcakes a week or so ago just because!

  185. The last time was St Patrick’s day when I made an Emerald green cake. Putting a cake on a pretty pedestal is truly the icing on it.

  186. my party! my friend brought a delicious Italian chocolate cake.

  187. I haven’t celebrate with cake since December when I made a cake for my friends birthday.

  188. My birthday…although it was ice cream cake! mmmmm….
    Actually cake was cake pops. My first attempt and they turned out great.

  189. This past weekend we celebrated my sister’s birthday with a Doubach cake, yumm!

  190. Last week for my mom’s birthday with a Drumstick cake – and I made a caramel pecan apple pie for my dad because he doesn’t really like chocolate (makes me wonder how we are even related!)

  191. I recently made cupcakes for a friend’s housewarming party…with chocolate buttercream icing. Yum!

  192. My birthday in December! My husband bought me a chocolate cake – so delicious. :) But we’re having cake on Saturday for my son’s third birthday.

  193. I celebrated by nephew’s bday with chocolate cake. yum.

  194. The last cake I made was for my mother-in-law’s birthday on May 17, 2011. She is a chocoholic so I was inspired by your peanut butter cup cake – I made it without the peanut butter cups, then used your chocolate cream cheese buttercream with it. It was awesome, just like all the recipes you post. Thanks for the inspiration! I need a pink ruffle cake in my life too!
