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 very last cake celebration was my son’s birthday — with my handmade cake stands… so to win one of those beautiful cake stands from Melody’s shop would be magic!
xxx wish you get well soon.
I absolutely love cake! :) It’s what I look forward to when going to a party.
It took me 3 looks at this blog before I noticed it was about the stands! They are gorgeous! I was really distracted by all that cake though. I celebrate Sundays with cake. I bake one every week!
My friend’s 24th on Sunday! It was rainbow cake!
My older brother’s birthday. we had a mocha chiffon cake with caramel filling frosted with custard
Oooh, it matches the pink cupcakes my daughter and I planned for her 12th birthday. I have bought the pink melt, icing, glitter sprinkels…..:)
Friend’s birthday on Sunday!
Just a Happy Day. I was feeling happy for absolutely no reason, so I went and celebrated it with Cake :)
Look who’s Wearing (LwW)
On St. Patrick’s Day. My daughter and I attempted to the 14 layer cake that you had made. We ran out of frosting so it ended up being 7 layers. But it was still sweet!
Last time … saturday, 3 gorgeous cake, & one green-red-pink for a cousin birthday
Actual last celebratory cake was at Christmas! But there have definitely been cakes since then for the heck of it.
Me and my boyfriend have the cakes I bake just about every 3-4 days. But the last cake I baked was a vanilla layered cake with whipped chocolate+raspberry filling frosted with some whipped cream cheese frosting!
We had a joint bday celebration over Christmas with the entire family—two cousins’ birthdays, mine and Jesus.
My brother in laws birthday! But since her prefers pie, I made an apple pie with Happy Birthday written on it. It was a big hit!
we dont need an occasion to eat cake! but the last official celebration with cake was for my daughter’s 6th bday :)

It’s my birthday! I hope I win! Adorable stands and I won’t be made if they come with any of those sweet treats! Yum!

We celebrate our daughter 4 birthday last Sunday, but she insist to celebrate her birthday every day….
I made a cake last week just because I wanted cake hahaha
I will never say no to baking-maybe that’s why I’ve packed on 20 pounds??? lol
Not so much a celebration, but a good cause. Tonight I made cake pops for a bake sale we’re having at work for Tsunami and Earthquake relief in Japan. I, of course, had to try one to make sure they’re good.
Last saturday I made a cupcake tree for a baby shower. I was inspired by the idea you used from Martha Stewart. Thanks!
Just this past weekend we threw a fishing themed surprise birthday party for my aunt. 16 mini cheesecakes, and a strawberry banana custard cake! yummy!
ps. I hope you are feeling better Bakerella!
I think every day should be celebrated with CAKE! However, I don’t think my waistline would agree. Enjoyed cake for a dear friends birthday a month ago with a delish creation called the Patti Cake from YUM Kitchen. Will be making YOUR cake pops for my daughters 1st bday in May. Also, hubby has been strongly advised to purchase your book for me! :)
The last celebration with cake was my mother’s 82nd birthday. It was a triple chocolate mousse cake…pure heaven!
I hope you are feeling better!

I enjoyed cake with my twin baby boys when they celebrated their 1st birthday one week ago!
My BFF had a birthday party for my 54th in January and we all devoured the delicious cake. However it couldn’t be my favorite flavor as my recent heart condition now prohibits me eating chocolate, well can have white chocolate so not all lost! :)

The last cake I made was in the shape of a guinea pig that my daughter requested for her 9th birthday. My mom started this tradition when we were kids and I love keeping it going for my kids.
