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!

Last weekend… a party with colleagues.
Everyday is a great day to eat cake! But the last special occasion would have been my best friend’s daughters birthday this past weekend!
I celebrated my dad’s birthday with a coconut cake. It was so moist and delicious; perfect for this cake pedestal.
St. Patrick’s Day…green velvet cake :)
The last time I ate cake was Monday morning for breakfast. Because it is delicious and sometimes, Monday mornings just need a little cake to get going.
We celebrated my son’s birthday (12) this past weekend with family and will celebrate it again this weekend! Any reason to have cake :)…
After a weekend at a 4H cake show we had MORE cake at my sweet friend’s 3-year-old’s birthday party. Mickey Mouse cake!
My daddy’s birthday last Saturday!
A Baby Shower. But the surprise was the Mom to be went into labor and delivered the baby hours before the shower. We took the cake and food to the hospital for the family and hospital staff.
I made cupcakes for my mum who was having a tea party with her friends! Carrot cupcakes with orange cream cheese frosting and lemon cupcakes with lemon zest frosting. Delish!
Just finished my Wilton Cake Decorating class final cake. It was a white cake (from scratch), white frosting with pink wilton flowers on top. It looked so cute, but it tasted BAD! It WAS NOT a Bakerella cake recipe and it’s going in the garbage. My bad.
I celebrated my 5 year old daughter’s friends birthday Sunday March 27 and made Strawberry, Bananna’s Foster, and Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes!
My niece’s birthday party. My daughter made a chocolate chip cookie cake and a white-chocolate peppermint cookie cake for those freaks that don’t like real chocolate. We presented them on cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil :o)
Oooh, pretty! We celebrated the fact that it was Tuesday yesterday with red velvet cupcakes and homemade cream cheese buttercream frosting! No other reason, we just made ’em! :) Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Just last week I made my dad’s favorite german chocolate cake for his retirement. Cake doesn’t need a reason to celebrate in my book. ;)
I made a chocolate cake from the recipe on teh back of the can of Hershey cocoa for my son’s 16th birthday last week. His friends went nuts over it-it made me feel good they enjoyed it so much.
…my co-worker’s birthday.
For my son’s birthday. In fact I have another birthday coming up that I need to make a cake for.
my two boys had their birthday party this past friday
i made 2 video game army-themed cakes
my first attempt and it turned out well!

Last time I celebrated with a cake was my birthday in January. I made myself a heart cake covered with marshmallow fondant & flowers.
Hope you are feeling better :)
Oh my God… those pedestals are too prety!!!
I made a simple chocolate cake just last week.. to celebrate life!
I wish all the best of luck to you during this dificult stage in your life.
Last Wednesday, while celebrating birthdays of 3 co-workers.
oh sorry I am so impressed of the newest blog entry so that I forgot to write about the last occasion for my cakes – it was yesterdays dads birthday and I made a hungarian “dobos-torta” and three kinds of cupcakes and it was all fine :D
A princess cake to celebrate my new job!

Jan 20th, my boyfriends B-day
Ok, this isn’t cake, but chocolate souffle to celebrate Sunday evening with the love of my life. (smile)
My husbands Birthday…a fun little Car shaped cake.
My neighbours birthday – my 3 year old and I baked him a chocolate cake :)

Last night with friends for no reason!
“reunion” with college friends and our kiddos!
The last time celebrated with cake was for my friends birthday I mailed a cupcake to her, vanilla bean with redskin ganache. A total surprise when she opened the post, she lives seven hours drive away, I miss seeing her lots.
Oh my word, these are gorgeous! The last time I celebrated with a cake was last week….just because I was in the mood for cake :)
My birthday …a year ago …
last week, for my 40th bday!!
The last time I celebrated with a cake was Cousins and Cakes day. Never heard of it? Why, it’s the newest holiday! All you have to do is gather five toddlers and three female cousins in one little house, and bake a cake!
Of course, if you’re rushing to finish before naptime is over, you have to settle for a cake that falls apart with crumbs in the frosting, but our standards weren’t very high, we just wanted the chocolate and frosting.
If only we had a pretty cake pedestal for the next time, I’m sure our craving would wait to frost and eat the chocolatey treat. Maybe.
Made some YUMMY Chocolate Cupcakes for my husband’s birthday in February! Delish!
Does a cheesecake count? If yes, it will be tonight to celebrate the halfway point to a great semester abroad! :D
Last week, a birthday for a friend, I made a DB-30, an alternative to the classic TB-909 drum machine for his 30th!
My son’s birthday. I made a cookie cake:)
after seeing this post I do think I need a pretty little pink cake stand. After all, sweet as the plain ones are every woman needs a bit of pink in their life.
To beat my sister in a bake off!
My boyfriend’s birthday with cake pops included!
The last time I celebrated with cake…..my youngest daughters birthday….made cakepops! ;)

March 10th….. My husband and Daughter’s birthday…..
Wait, you need a reason to have cake? It was last Friday night when friends were over…
Weddings!!! Yeah for cake!
My last celebration with cake was just last week. March 22nd was my birthday and my 9 year old daughter (foodie like me) made me a cake and decorated it herself, then she put it onto my cake plate (that has interchangable ribbon weaving). Needless to say I was a proud mama! :)
We had a Victoria sponge cake for my mum’s birthday last week (and I made flapjacks too).

I made Duncan Heinz cake for my SIL’s party last week.
“My name is Deanna and I am a cake stand addict!” I love these pink cake stands. We last made yellow cupcakes with chocolate and vanilla buttercream when our good friends came for dinner.
My 21st birthday about 3 weeks ago. The cake was delicious and even had my picture on it. I told my mom years ago that I wanted a cake with my picture on it. I didn’t think she remembered but I’m glad she did :)
Just this afternoon actually! With a guava & passion fruit cupcake – it was just for the sake of cake and oh-so-delicous!
Thanks for the link, I’ll be throwing some clamms that way surely xx
WOW! You would think that would have been really recently, but four of the seven birthdays in our family are in September, so that would be that last occasion we celebrated with cake. These pedestals are just adorable! Thanks to you and your friend for sharing!
I made a chocolate peppermint cake to share with my partner, MIL, and aunt-in-law the day we saw Wicked together! It was a perfect afternoon. It only would have been improved by a pink cake platter. ;-)
My youngest sons first tooth came out about two weeks ago. He was so happy and excited about it. To make it feel like something very special to him we stopped and got cupcakes to share with everyone at home. He loved it! But he doesn’t

I asked my best friend to prom by putting the note asking inside of a (cup)cake.
A friend’s birthday as part of our “birthday club”. 5 ladies that get together to celebrate their birthdays because husbands don’t know how to throw a party! LOVE the cake stands!!!
A BIRTH PARTY 4 DAYS AGO, WITH A RED VELVET CAKE…
My friend’s 25th birthday was the week of St. Patrick’s Day. His favorite drink is a grasshopper, so of course I had to make him a green grasshopper cake! (I’m not counting last week when I made myself a chocolate chip cake just because…:))
Does Tuesday count as an event? We have cake at our house “just because”. It can be one we make ourselves or that we pick up from the bakery. Doesn’t matter to us, cake is cake, right?
Thanks for the images of the gorgeous cake stands and for the opportunity to win one.
The last occasion I celebrated with a cake was Valentine’s Day. I will be celebrating with cake this weekend for my baby shower. I love this cute adorable set.
