Pretty Pedestals

1

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.

5z

Oh dear. I need a pink ruffle cake in my life.

Pronto.

5

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.


3

Yes, pedestals. Like this pretty little pink one. Perfect for a petite little cake.

6

Or stack two and you can fill it with sweet little treats.

2

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.

  184. I celebrated St. Patrick’s day with the ‘green velvet’ cake recipe from the site!! :)

  185. Last weekend, when my friend celebrated her birthday with a homemade cake that was a small, 2 layer chocolate cake covered in LOTS of chocolate frosting and absolutely delicious!

  186. my birthday! I made tres leches:)

  187. The last occassion I celebrated with a cake was a baby “sprinkle” for a friend of mine!

  188. I baked my last cake in August for my son’s 8th birthday. I know shame on me for not baking more often.

  189. The last occasion I celebrated with cake? That was probably my birthday, which was last summer. My boyfriend decided he wanted to make me a cake… though he was a couple of months late in getting around to doing it, he still did it, which is impressive because he isn’t very confident in the kitchen on his own yet. I don’t know why; he helps me in the kitchen all the time. Before that, I made a cake for his birthday, which was kind of an adventure. I decided to try my hand at making an ice cream cake. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that the pan I’d grabbed for the cake layer was a different size than the ones I used for the ice cream layers, and I ill-advisedly tried to conceal this fact with excessive amounts of frosting. It was so egregiously sweet that we could only eat tiny slivers of the cake at a time. Ah well, learning experience! Next time all my pans will be the right size, and I’ll use buttercream (normally buttercream is too cloyingly buttery for me, but I can handle it a lot better when it’s frozen).

    I’ve probably made a couple of cakes since then, but lately we’ve been focusing more on cookies (I finally found a great chocolate chip cookie recipe!) and truffles. I’ll be making another cake in May for my friend’s birthday; she’s said she wants a flourless chocolate cake.

    And wow, this comment was rambly and stream-of-consciousness. Sorry. >_>

  190. celebrated my son’s 13th birthday 3-20!!

  191. Yesterday was my daughter’s 10th birthday. We had cake twice!!

  192. My best friend’s birthday! The cake was gluten and egg free…I’m really not sure it qualified as cake…

  193. A couple weeks ago it was a friends bday. . .however, she lives out of town. But as a good excuse to eat cake, I made a basic yellow cake with a vanilla glaze and texted her a picture of it for her birthday and then my husband and I ate it!

  194. My sister’s b-day cake. I made a mini-stacked marshmallow fondont tiered cake… my first adventure in Fondont and it was easy and fun… can’t wait to try more.

  195. At the annual fundraiser for the National MS Society held in our backyard, we have cake to celebrate our generous friends for their amazing support and love.

  196. I made myself a birthday cake a couple of weeks ago.

  197. Awesome just beautfiul.

    The last time I had cake was my daughter’s 1/2 birthday 2/10.

    I love those tiny pink cakes in the dome, what are they

  198. last celebrated a friend’s baby shower with a beautiful 3-tier cake decorated by yours truly!

  199. The last time I celebrated with cake was on Fat Tuesday :)

  200. I would LOVE to have this set!! We just celebrated my oldest daughter’s 6th birthday yesterday and I have two more little girls that have birthdays a week apart this summer! They would be perfect for their pink poodle/monkey celebration for a 1st and 3rd birthday!
