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.

Bakerella I have been a huge fan of your site for awhile and haven’t commented yet. I too LOVE cake stands and just started collecting them (in fact, I have a blog on my website too and recently proclaimed my love for them…check it out at http://www.amyscakestore.com). I just HAD to try to win this precious trio of beautiful eye candy…love them.

Just this past Sunday. My Mother-in-law has been sick and in hospital for the past 5 weeks. So to celebrate her birthday I dusted off the cupcake pans and made chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate cream, covered in chocolate butter cream, then dipped in chopped Walnuts (Her request). Then we threw a birthday party in her hospital room. My first homemade batch and they were good!
St Patrick’s Day~But it was not a green cake!
I think the last time I celebrated with cake was a coworker’s birthday, and I had a grand old time doctoring up a cake mix for a Bundt cake.
Cleaning out the garage, Mom and I found tons upon tons of old hobnail glass. These pink pedestals would look EPIC piled with sweet treats at a summer lemonade party, especially with all the hobnail for serving and plating. :D
My husband’s Great Grandmother’s 80th..(yes 80th) birthday. It was amazing – she is amazing and still living it up like she isn’t a day past 30. Love her to pieces.
We had cake at my baby shower after adopting our first baby, a boy!!
My 3 year olds birthday! We made a pirate cake and he LOVED it!
The last celebration with cake was my son’s 18th birthday just a few weeks ago.
I have two friends whose birthdays are within a day of mine & we’ll be celebrating together – with cake & a bonfire – in a few weeks. I love to celebrate & these pedestals would really add to our party!
The last celebration I had with cake was my son’s and daughter’s 15th and 17th birthdays. We combined the celebration because I made a 14 layer cake (yep, from bakerella) and I wasn’t about to make two of those.
Funny thing is, I don’t have a cake pedestal, so I turned a glass chip and dip server upside down and it worked. I even blogged about the process involved in making this amazing cake. It’s a hit in the Robinson household.
Just over a week ago for my son’s birthday and a week before that for his best friend’s birthday!

I so hope I win!!!
