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!

The last time I had cake was for my oldest son’s birthday. Thank you for the giveaway.
Love these! The last time I celebrated with cake was for Valentine’s Day. I actually made your red velvet cake. It was so good!
OMG! those are gorgeous! They would be perfect for Easter with my apothacary jars and crystal cake stands.
Last time I celebrated with cake was my friend’s birthday party about a week ago. Yay cake!
The last celebration with a cake was my baby boy’s FIRST birthday! He proved to love cake as much as the rest of us!
My birthday! This would actually be a great bday present! :)

Just last week. We were celebrating… um, nothing aside from we love to make and eat cake!
Book club last week and my sister’s birthday this week! Cake for everyone!
sadly it’s been since before Christmas! I made a combination birthday/holiday cake for my work holiday party – delicious chocolate peanut butter layer cake!
Last occasion was my hubby’s birthday last month. However we have 3 birthdays within a week at the end of April, beginning May including my own. What a fun way to display them. These look so yummy.
We just celebrated my husbands birthday on the 16th and I made him a cake…I try to make one for every occasion – it’s my new love! Great giveaway! Thank You!

We celebrated a fourth birthday this weekend. Mmmm, cake.
Why, it was Monday. The celebration was for “Monday”. Perhaps tomorrow I will have a cake celebration for Wednesday. Do you notice a pattern here….I tend to enjoy cake often!!!!
Not really a celebration, but I made cake a few weeks ago when my boyfriend of two years broke up with me. Baking for me is a stress reliever and makes me really happy. But the celebration was for my brothers sweet sixteen last week!
P.S. Loveeeeee your website!!!!!!
We had cake for a church birthday party, it was nice to exchange recipes.
March 26, 2011 ….. Just 4 days ago, @ a wedding… the cakes (yes, 4 of them) had 7, yes 7, different flavors, and they were ALL woderful!
My son’s 3rd birthday… I made him a Spiderman cake!
Those sweet treats are even more beautiful than the pedestals displaying them!! I was able to eat cake TODAY to celebrate “doctor’s day”…speaking of, hoping this comment finds you feeling well…
Last time I celebrated was this past Saturday with 140 cupcakes n 50 Hk cake pops for my cousin 30th Bday!!
By the way I hope ur doing much better now :)
Who needs a special occassion to eat cake? You can eat cake any time!! :) (but I made mini oreo cheesecakes for a co-worker’s birthday)
Hmmmm….February…..a going-away, quitting-my-job cake!
I am so glad you are feeling better! i hope the everything goes well over the next little while, and that you will be back to 100% soon!
These are absolutely gorgeous. is it wrong to say that i would use them for my upcoming birthday? :)
The last event I celebrated with cake was a friend’s birthday last Wednesday…then tomorrow is Doctor’s day which is always celebrated with cake. Wait, everyday should be celebrated with cake, right?
I celebrated cupcakes & cake pops on Saturday… at a baby shower my dear friends threw for me and my little girl (expected at the end of May!) Hooray!
My Daughters wedding August 13, 2010.
I recently made cupcakes for my sister’s homecoming from Germany…..It was a fantastic night, and no one really cared that the cupcakes were horrible (I must have done something wrong with the recipe haha) we were all just happy that my sister was home :)
Just celebrated my neices 5th birthday on Monday! Yummy chocolate cake that she made herself.
Do cake balls count on a cake place? If so, last weekend we had bakerella cake balls!!!! Yummy…
It’s been too long since we’ve had cake… the last time we had cake was on Valentine’s Day!! I need these cute stands so I have a reason to make pretty (and yummy) cakes! :D
We just had a family celebration on Saturday…and there may or may not have been cake involved. :-) I’ve found a delightful (and very simple) new concoction of cake (with holes poked when it’s done), berry puree (strawberry, raspberry, you name it), pudding and Cool Whip. Oh my! :-)
Last time we celebrated was Girl’s Night! Chocolate Cake Please!
My son’s 1st birthday WEEK celebrations – 3 cakes down 1 to go! Yipee!!

My daughter’s birthday, march 22!!
I celebrated the first strawberries of the season by making an angel food cake last week. It was wonderful!
I just love beautiful, old fashioned cake pedestals! Those are amazing! The last celebration that I baked for was…wait for it…yes Cake pops for my grandson’s 2nd birthday. The theme was dirt, yep he is two! I did the cake pops dipped in green, with piping that looked like grass then dipped in oreo cookie crumbs for dirt. I used my grandmother’s vintage cake pedestal for my niece’s wedding cake I made her. Everything looks special and beautiful on a pedestal!

i love everything pink, and pastry related!! these pedestals are wonderfully pretty!
We celebrated my friends’ birthday with a vanilla strawberry mousse cake, two saturdays ago!!! It was yummy =)
My most recent cake celebration was last Monday. Every excuse to bake a cake to cheer up colleagues!
Last Saturday. My daughters mother inlaw’s 60th Birthday.
A chocolate cake that was so scrumptious it doesn’t need frosting – for my friend’s birthday!
Could these BE any cuter? As for the cake celebration, what doesn’t call for cake? I made a Bailey’s Irish Cream cake (among other things) for a St. Patty’s day party, and I’ll probably whip up some cupcakes this weekend too.
We celebrated my newly-minted 4 year old’s birthday just three weeks ago. I made a cake that looked like a giant cupcake, with a chocolate fudge bottom, and a vanilla top, filled with peanut butter cream and iced with butter cream frosting. This may sound like a typical cake, but it was far from common. My children and I are on gluten free diets, so my gorgeous cake was completely from scratch, gluten-free, and organic. It was delicious too, judging from the pathetic scrap that was leftover…even the gluten eaters devoured it!
Yesterday..with a strawberry swirl cream cheese pound cake with 2 of my special elderly friends—a “just because occasion”
My daughters 21 st birthday. I made tripled layered mocha cake oh boy it was soooo good.
Whoa. Over 7000 comments!
We celebrated our son’s 2nd birthday just two weeks ago and had a Very Hungry Caterpillar cake.
A friend’s birthday today!!! Although my normal ‘occasion’ is just because I feel like baking a cake:)
Happy “Welcome Back from Spring Break”v Breakfast…at school…I had some for lunch :)

for no reason–baking cupcakes is always a good idea. :)
Who wouldn’t love these cuties? The last time we had a cake was three days ago, it was just a celebration of thanksgiving amidst unpredictable disasters and unfriendly recessions. It was like, thankful of being alive and being able to stand amongst the rubble…
Leftover birthday cake today at work. Not curly or swirly enough for those pretty pink cake stands. I’d have to make something special for those!
I actually just made cake this past weekend to celebrate spring! (I’ll use any excuse to make cake)
P.s. I’ve been stalking her cake stands/pedestals for a while now. I want one so badly!
The last baby shower I threw for my cousin had two different kinds of cupcakes, frosted completely opposite(one choc, one vanilla) and layered on three cake stands….turned out so cute. Thanks for the link-I have been looking for great cake stands!
i celebrate everything with cake! Birthdays! christenings! Wednesdays!
2 weeks ago, my sons 2nd birthday!
Birthday Party for my son!
Hmm, that’s a great question. The last time I had cake was a couple weeks ago, for my mom’s anniversary. We ate the top layer of her wedding cake that she had kept frozen for a year. When she told me we were going to be eating cake that was a year old, I thought she was crazy. But the cake ended up tasting great, especially the frosting! Yum! :)
I loveee those pedestals! I am collecting cake domes and pedestals so I have several to use when I host events as I am older. These pretty pink pedestals would be great to have!
The last time we had cake was just this past Saturday for my little brother’s 32nd birthday! I made him this Angry Birds cake: http://www.flickr.com/photos/87832879@N00/5559088921/
To celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday . . . ice cream cake!
A birthday of course! Love the pedestals – beautiful.
Just last Sunday was my Godchild Shannon’s 9th birthday.
I made those pretty little cupcake poppers seen under the pink glass dome except I did mine in neon colors.
My sister had half yellow and half chocolate cake with pink frosting and brown peace signs.
Hope you’re feeling better, still keeping you in my prayers.
Ansa
Does cheesecake count? If so, that would be my birthday =D
My birthday…my sweet daughter made it from scratch and decorated it beautifully :)

I just made a cake for a friend today for his birthday!
My birthday – March 12. I LOVE Danish Layer Cake – not sure if that is common anywhere but Racine, WI which has Danish heritage. We also have Danish Kringle that is very well know through out the US.
A coworker’s birthday. A single cupcake, elegantly decorated with buttercream and a blue candle. Beautiful, minimal and from the heart.
The last time I celebrated with cake was just recently. I didn’t get a chance to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day so last weekend we made Chocolate Stout Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Whisky Buttercream. It would be awesome to use this for my anniversary next month!
On Saturday! I made a cinnamon cake for dessert.
Last cake I made was for my daughter’s first birthday. I made a giant cupcake as her smash cake . All the kids got thier own cupcake to decorate in the cupcake bar I made :)
At a bff’s wedding in La Jolla, CA! The rain and clouds in the morning got us all scared, but when the sun came out later in the day, it was beautiful! Whew!
Last week I made a wedding cake for my daughter’s kindergarten class. Letter Q married letter U so now they will always be together. The kids learned the waltz the week before so there was dancing too.
Just finished the frosting for my daughter’s 4th birthday party tomorrow night!
The last time I celebrated with cake was at the beginning of March. It was one of my co-worker’s birthday!

I had cake for breakfast yesterday-shouldn’t we celebrate every Monday! :)
I so need these for my sweet daughter’s FIRST birthday! Awwwww.
Wow, these are wonderful. Our last cake celebration was my husband’s birthday. He wanted to go to an island, so I made his cake the island. It had a sandy beach, palm trees and a treasure chest. There were dolphins in the water and a crab and sand castle. The tablecloth looked like water. He was so happy. These stands would be great for my daughter’s birthday cake next month. She loves pink.
To celebrate the gift of friendship with people I care about.

You need an occasion to eat cake? A friend’s birthday!
My daughters’ 1/2 birthdays in January…they each got a 1/2 of a birthday cake (to be shared!). By no means does this mean that there haven’t been sweets in this house since then, just not celebratory cakes!
A Murder Mystery Party in January but my birthday is in April so…
We celebrated a co-workers birthday eating a wonderful angel food trifle.
I’ll be celebrating my husband’s birthday tomorrow (March 30) with a cake. I’m attempting my first giant cupcake cake. Working on it tonight. Wish me luck!
A nephew’s birthday last night. I’m making a cake for my cute sister next week and this would be the perfect place to display it!!!
I’m glad you are back Bakerella! I sure missed you!
Sadly, my last chance to use pedestals was my New Years Eve party….too long ago. However I have a great baby shower coming up and these beautities would be perfect :o)
The last time I celebrated with cake was 2 weeks ago at one of my best friends baby shower. It was Dr. Suess inspired with pineapple filling. Yummy!!!!
Last night I celebrated being back home after a 11 day trip to MN for the birth of a grandson ( He was 9 days late – born on Sat pm when I had to leave to come back home Sun noon). I celebrated with pound cake made by my 85 yr old uncle-in-law.
I made cake pops for my nephew’s birthday 2 weeks ago. Cake pops and ice cream cake, mmmm. Tomorrow is my birthday so a pretty cake stand would be the perfect present for myself!
I can’t remember. But if I had those pink pedestals it’d be the afternoon they arrived!
I baked a chocolate cake for my husband and my friend’s birthdays the first week of March.
Everyday is great day for cake. I just had cake with my kids today. After carving a purse cake for my sister’s birthday this weekend, my kids and I picked up all the scraps, put them in a bowl, added a dollop of icing and ate it up! Just a normal, average day can become a little celebration of life when you add a piece of cake!
A few Sundays ago at a church meeting!
My son’s first birthday! I made Banana Caramel sandwich cupcakes. They were awesome.
Two weeks ago during dinner with family friends. They brought Costco cheesecake and my family had a Safeway fruit tart. Calorie heaven!

We celebrated 3 of our friends’ birthdays with one big chocolate cake =)
I made 24 Red velvet cups for a my friends daughters 12th birthday and decorated them with cream cheese frosting, which i dyed them with pink and green food coloring.
Who needs an occasion! I guess it would be my husbands birthday.
The last time I celebrated with cake was on my birthday (11 days ago). My boyfriend didn’t plan anything for me or give me any soft of present, not even a card (apparently, birthdays were never celebrated in his family :-(… ). So, after planning a relaxing day on my own (I took HIM hiking and out to dinner on MY birthday), I was not happy with him and how the day had ended. You see, I am an optimist, and I kept thinking that he would surprise me with something nice at the very last minute… but no. Anyway, to cheer myself up, I baked myself a cake. Lol. Sorry, I don’t mean to complain, but I’m sure any ladies out there with insensitive boyfriends can relate. At least the cake cheered me up! Now, if only I had a pretty pedastal for my future cakes…
P.S. Dear Bakerella, I love your blog, and I hope you are doing well! <3 <3 <3
my husband’s birthday, yeah cake!
Cupcakes 2 weeks ago to celebrate my mom (68 yrs young) and grandma’s (92 yrs young) birthdays. The women in this family are proud to share our ages- every year earned, many lessons learned- life is way to special not to be celebrated!
2 sunday’s ago, a farewell for a sweet gal going back to Germany :)
We had cake last weekend….. just because it was sunny outside:)
At my friend’s birthday this past weekend!
