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 sisters birthday today :)
We just celebrated my 29th birthday last week, (ok I have celebrated that birthday for a few years now….) We were on vacation in California and we had cupcakes for my birthday cake. It was great! I wish I had known about this bakery, I would have love to go and see (taste) this store… I LOVE the ribbon cake!

Oh my gosh, there are a lot of comments here! I’ll add mine anyway because those are adorable pedestals and I LOVE cake :) I currently have a cake in the fridge (it includes Jell-O and Cool Whip) because we had my daughter’s birthday party this weekend. It’s calling my name…
I celebrated my dads birthday with a strawberry shortcake!
My husband’s 25th birthday last week! Normally I bake it myself, but this year I was pregnant, frazzled and unmotivated, so a grocery store cake had to do. Still super yummy. :)
The last cake I made was a Lemon-Blueberry Cake for my neighbor’s mom. It was her birthday and we wanted to make her something special :)
Today actually, well they were Cupcakes, but darned good ones too! It was the office birthday party and we had the most yummmmmmy cupcakes! They weren’t on an awesome display plate though i’ll tell ya that much! ;)
The last thing I celebrated with cake?
That it was Tuesday.
I love baking. Need I say more?
I had a delicious Bailey’s Irish cream cake on St. Patrick’s Day! Erin Go Bragh!!!!
Just a few weeks ago, when some friends and I just decided to make molten chocolate cakes in our dorm’s kitchen!
Last week was my 6 year old son’s birthday. We had a chocolate cake with strawberry filling. Chocolate buttercream frosting and chocolate covered strawberries covering the top.
Too bad, I’m not eating sugar right now!
The last celebration with cake was a few hours ago. I made a basket of flower cupcakes and put them in an Easter basket for people with April birthdays. I lalso made cupcake pops out of little cupcakes stuck together with frosting (mini cupcakes with bottoms cut off) in bright, bright colors. Stuck them and the large cupcakces on colored popsicle sticks.
we went to an old friend’s wedding 2 weeks ago!
at my friend’s wedding last weekend!!
I last celebrated my husband’s birthday with a “pizza” cake. Served up in a pizza box. The man really likes pizza.
this cake display is my “inspiration photo” for my own reception! i love it! and speaking of which, my mom practiced one of the cakes she plans to make for our wedding this past weekend… so i guess it was celebrating my upcoming marriage… delicious!
My boyfriends birthday! I made him a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting :)
My Mom’s birthday which also happened to be Valentine’s Day!
For no special reason!! Just because I love to bake for my family
It was Friday and there was no special occasion. It was actually the last day of my vacation so it was kinda of a pick me up.

If cupcakes count, then it’s last Friday night. We volunteer at a homeless shelter and I bring baked yummies every Friday. Cupcakes are their favorite!
I think it was my Mother-in-Law’s bday back in Feburary. Oh, it’s been waaaaaaay too long since we’ve had cake!
I made Red Velvet Cake for Valentine’s Day! :)

My cousin’s baby shower. i was planning a beautiful 3-tier cake, but only baked it that morning and it was so fresh the only tier that looked good was the top one. we actually took it apart before the shower because we were worried it would fall over (yes, it was dowelled). everyone had a huge laugh from it though and it tasted great!
Last week, at a friend’s open house.
At my older sister’s birthday on the 16th. Chocolate chip cookie dough baked inside a chocolate cupcake! :o9
Thanks!
Just getting this in in the nick of time! The last time I celebrated with cake is March 11 on my birthday. We went to Arizona and my husband hauled a cake all the way there without me even knowing it! What a guy and WHAT BEAUTIFUL PEDESTALS!

I made a Michigan State Spartan head for a my co-worker’s birthday! He’s an avid Buckeye’s fan :)
Oh, man, we need so much cake in out lives right now. This week, my boyfriend finished and turned in his dissertation for his PhD! AND (get this!) he’s already got a tenure track job at a great college lined up to start in the fall. In this hiring climate, academia being in a state of crisis, for our teeny tiny peripheral field of study — that is HUGE. I’ve been meaning to bake him a cake, but my own studies are keeping me so busy I haven’t had a chance (though I did make him cupcakes on St. Patty’s — guiness chocolate cake, whisky chocolate fondant filling, bailey’s buttercream!).
Those stands are adorable. I wouldn’t be able to bear seeing them empty!
Those are so wonderful! The last time I had cake was for my Mom’s birthday. I made Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing… Super yummy! :)

Does Cheese cake count? Then it was Christmas.

At a teacher appreciation lunch today!
This is a plenty-o-cake month. We had cakes on March 6 and 12 for my son’s and hubby’s birthdays and another cake on March 31 for mine!
The last cake I had was actually a cookie cake at my daughter’s 6th birthday on March 18! I am going to bake a cake for our pastor at church which he gets to blow out candles from in front of our congregration! I am so excited! I love these pedestals as well!
For my son’s 2nd birthday, I made him a rainbow bundt cake (divide a white cake mix into 5 or 6 bowls and mix in food coloring so it’s the colors off the rainbow and layer into a bundt pan). He LOVED it! It was a fun way to celebrate his day and the birth of his sister which happened the day before his birthday :)
I love those! I’ve seen that picture before on her website, and fell in love immediately. The last time we had cake was to celebrate UK’s win and entrance into the final four!!
A friend’s wedding recently was the last time we had cake for a celebration. Wow…that was a while ago…
My mom bot me a gluten free cake for my birthday last year and I can’t believe it but I think that was the last time I have had cake…. October. Definitely due, maybe I will have to make one just because.
Ice Cream cake for my nephews 16th birthday last Wednesday. It was ok, but nothing beats home made!!

This past Sunday it was cold and rainy so I decided to bake all day…. I made pumpkin applesauce cupcakes with creamcheese icing, topped with crushed pecans. Also made a london broil….warmed up everyone at my house quite nicely. I am so happy to see you back online…praying for your health and happiness in every way possible.
I celebrated being over my first trimester of pregnancy by eating a can of cream cheese icing (over a few days, of course, because that makes it sensible). I always keep a can of icing and red velvet cake so that I can make cake balls on a whim. But now I have cake and no icing…
My son’s 12th birthday.
I last had cake on March 11th after a church bake sale. :) It was a lovely lemon cake that I simply couldn’t resist.

We celebrated with cake at a teacher’s baby shower last week!! Yumm!!
one needs an occasion? I think not. And so I had some last night, just because. And my very own pink pedestal(s) would make me swoon.

I celebrated last Friday with a cake!

I would love one of those precious pedestals.
I have frequent “cake” days…cupcakes or cakes that I pick up or bake for my husband and sons. I’m having a custom cake created in the toy story theme for my son’s 3rd birthday this weekend. He absolutely loves cake! YUM YUM! Hope you’re doing well!
We have cake at least once a month at the office to celebrate everyone’s birthdays. We all wish it was every week!

The last time we had “cake” was for my son’s 4th birthday party, but it wasn’t actually a cake. I made the whole thing from rice crispy treats and then decorated it like it was a cake. He doesn’t like cake – Crazy, I know! I hope you are doing well!!
We just had cake for my nephew’s christening!
A gluten-free cake for my daughter–just because :)

Yesterday! It was leftovers from a birthday cake. A six-layer (full-size, nonethless) square Neapolitan cake with strawberry icing. Delicious!!!
We just ate cake an hour ago-first time I made angel food cake and it was delicious! The reason we ‘celebrated’? No reason. That’s the best reason for cake :)

My niece’s bachelorette party. Yes, her mom and I were invited and it was totally G rated! Well, maybe PG.

A few weeks ago for my friends St. Patrick’s Day birthday!
The last time I celebrated with cake – I made one for my husband’s co-workers for St. Patrick’s Day. It was a Guinness Chocolate Cake w/chocolate buttercream frosting. It was so tempting to make a green-mint buttercream frosting, but I held my love for mint in check! ;-)
