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!

I baked a lemon cake for a friend’s birthday. Lemon always tastes like a big bunch of Spring! Hope you’re feeling better soon.
The last occasion I celebrated with cake was… A guest at the hotel I work at gave me and the other Front Desk person something to drink and eat, and it came up that we baked. Alyssa made cookies, and I made my signature lemon cake, even though he didn’t like lemon too much. I promised him he would.

Finishing my midterms!
does a cupcake count? :) if so, then i had some last week… if it’s a cake cake, then i would say about a month ago? tryin’ ta lose a few pounds so i’m keeping limits on the sweets… though i love making some solely for stress relief!
These petestals are amazing. I definately will be going to her site to purchase some.
The last event I was at was my son’s wedding this past Friday! I made the cake, now I am resting! ;) Other than the cake balls I will be making as thank yous to everyone who helped this past week!
Here for hoping.
I didn’t think you NEEDED an occasion to have cake :)
Just spent a quiet normal Sunday afternoon with my family. We just celebrated being together and enjoying family time… Wasn’t a holiday… Just family time. A beautiful homemade dinner and delicious cake. A simple and meaningful family day.
On Monday. We celebrated my youngest daughter’s 5th birthday! We love cake in our family!!
The last event I celebrated with a cake was my younger son’s wedding in September. In addition to the traditional wedding cake at his luncheon reception, we had a dessert table at an informal after-party and I made two fantastic (if I do say so) cakes that I served on pedestal cake plates as well as about 100 cake pops and assorted other goodies.
Keeping you in my prayers, Bakerella.
The last time I celebrated with cake was my birthday in March, but yesterday my girl friends and I had gluten free apple tea cake during our kids playdate…where 4 of 5 children napped most of the time. Is that cheating? I think not because peanut butter brownies were also involved. Glorious!
The last event that I celebrated with cake was my anniversary in January. My boyfriend and I shared an entire cherry cheese cake :)
A co-worker’s birthday a couple of months ago. I’m not a huge cake eater, but I sure do like enough other treats to always have something for display on those beautiful pedestals.
The last event was my Dad’s 60th birthday. We made a spice cake as well as a two layer simple yellow cake, both decorated with simple buttercream icing. It was a great family get-together!
