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.


3

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.

  5. I celebrated my bff’s birthday last Saturday with a macaron cake. All that was missing was a cute pedestal! Pls pick me! :)

  6. All special holidays deserve a cake. A pink cake stand would be Easter/Mothers Day/Princess Ally’s birthday.

  7. We celebrated my hubby’s birthday with a chocolate layer cake with peanut butter icing. It was fabulous!

  8. I am so glad you’re feeling a bit better! Enough to post beautiful pictures of confections and gorgeous plates! I made a trifle on Saturday. Made up of yellow cake, drizzled with kahlua. In between the layers of coffee yum-ness was some blueberry preserve, fresh blueberries, coolwhip and a sprinkling of coconut. Sounds weird? Maybe. Totally delish? Absolutely!

  9. End of FCAT Writes….. Any reason for cake. :-)

  10. My nephew’s birthday!

    I hope you’re doing well!

    I recently celebrated my “birthday weekend” with different cakes on the 6th,7th, and 8th!! It was awesome.

  13. My birthday! the pedastals are soo pretty :)

  14. My cousins 15th birthday on Saturday and we got to bring home leftovers so I’ve been sneaking a bite everyday!

  22. Hi Bakerella!
    I thought about it and the last time I’ve had a cake (chocolate molten cake, YUM!) was for my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend! I hope you don’t count slices too because I’ve had plenty since then! :)

  23. Valentine’s Day. I made cheesecake pops for hubs and me.

  24. Oh my I am almost addicted to pedestals…they just really showcase even a plain cake. Right now I am making a “Lifetime Achievement” award cake and celebration cupcake roses for two of my friends who are leaving our profession (Nursing) and pursuing their life dream (AKA Retirement). I am planning a wonderful Easter Nest cake that would look spectacular and really ‘take the cake” if it was sitting proudly on a pedestal!!! But with a cabillion comments I have just a crumb of a chance of winning :D but just maybe……

  61. We celebrated my brother-in-law’s 30th birthday over the weekend with apple streusel cupcakes one night and a tiramisu layer cake the next night.

  62. Special holiday occasions always warrant a cake. A pink cake stand would be Easter/Mothers Day (but I shouldn’t make my own cake) and Princess Ally’s birthday.

  63. We made a cake for my sisters birthday, yellow with chocolate frosting. The funny part is we had to make it three months early. She has been back from teaching in Sout Korea for almost a month but will leave tomorrow for Australia, but her birthdays in May. We have been doing this for 3 years. The cake was good.

  64. Friends over for a Friday night dinner. I made Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake.

  65. I really want those pink pedestals. They will make everything taste pretty! Last celebration with cake was coming home from NYC. Magnolia Cupcake has a shop in Grand Central Station now! So any commute to the city can be celebrated with cake even if I don’t have time to bake it!

    The last time that we celebrated with cake was for Saint Patrick’s Day, when I made an Authentic Irish Chocolate Cake (made moist with Mashed Potatoes and flavored with Irish Cream). I was rather disappointed b/c I left out the self-rising flour, but after refrigerating the dense cake was like a fudgy Irish Cream brownie- yum!

  83. My fiance’s birthday!

  84. The last cake celebration was my mother-in-law’s 71 birthday last Sunday. We had a humongous cake from a favorite French bakery that’s a family favorite. It was chocolate rum with pineapple filling (not my favorite, but is my mother-in-law.)

    when it was finished, i realized i didn’t have anything to transport it in…so i did what any desperate housewife would do…

    i proceeded to place the cheescake on a plate, and fetch the largest tupperware bowl in my collection…placed the plate on the inverted lid of the bowl, then placed the inverted bowl on top over the cheesecake and sealed the lid in place…

    i’m quite proud of that ingenuity ;)

  196. My birthday was on the 8th and we had yummy red velvet cake! I love love love these pedestals! They are adorable! Just might get me in the cake making mood :)

  197. My parents host a bowling tournament for all the grandkids every year at March Break so I made a fondant bowling themed cake this year as an extra added bonus. It sure was a tasty end to a fun filled day with family.
    I also have your wonderful tasty apple cake in the oven right now – super duper yummy!

  198. I made lovely little cake balls for valentines day!
    (Nice to have you back, Bakerella!)

  199. I am celebrating on Saturday by making a 50th wedding anniversary cake for my best friends parents! Would love to have these cake pedestals! So, so, so cute!!!
