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!

The last cake I made was a rainbow layer cake for our friends and neighbors for St. Patricks day! We had a good laugh. I lost my marbles and forgot icing on the middle layer….I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why when I cut it into pieces it separated. Oh man did we have a good laugh. Oh well, great story now and saved my peeps some calories!
Hhmm… too long ago! But all of my kiddos birthdays are coming up~ yay! for cake, and birthdays, and pink ruffle cakes on cute cake stands! Hope you’re feeling better:)

I can’t remember the last thing I celebrated with cake…which means it’s been too long:)
I baked my 87 year old father a cake this past weekend. My mother always kept something sweet in the house for him and she is no longer able to do that for him.
Love those! Beautiful!! We had cupcakes for my son and daughters birthday party. I actually displayed some of them on my cake pedestal. I’d LOVE a pink one, to go with my white one…
Hi. Love your blog, your sweet treats always make me smile :) Last time I had cake was my little cousins birthday party!
I just made a fabulous Red Velvet Cake for my daughters 13th Birthday last sunday 3/27/11. I have been looking for a great red velvet cake recipe and after a few failed attempts I found a great one on your website. THank so much for your awesome website.

The last time we celebrated with cake was in November….however, I am so distracted with the contents of the cake pedestals in this photo, that I can’t think straight!
Hi! The last time I celebrated with cake was for my friends son. It was his 5th birthday and it was about a month ago. I made the cake :) It was western themed and I created my own little cowboy out of fondant!
We celebrated my not-so-little-anymore brother’s 24th birthday with a banana, peanut butter and chocolate cake. So good.
My daughter’s pinkalicious birthday party!

I celebrated science on Friday! Our lab hosted the department TGIF and I baked a cake that was decorated to look like an exocytosing cell.

the last occasion I celebrated with cake was my best friends birthday.
Absolutely classic!
Last night, we celebrated the birthdays of my husband and daughter, AGAIN! His was 3/15 and my daughter’s was 3/22, I had extra cake mix, raspberry buttercream and frozen cake balls! Needless to say, we had cake and cake pops.YUMMMY!

My sis in law’s birthday just this past Sunday! She loves Chocolate cake with Rainbow Chip Frosting!!
The last time I celebrated with cake was eight days ago, on my birthday! However, I am starting to think that celebrating Thursday with a cake might not be a bad idea. Thursdays could be considered a cake-worthy celebration, right?
Birthdays are a huge deal in my family (exactly why I need these cake pedastals) and we just celebrated one this past weekend!
my boyfriend’s dad’s birthday last week! we celebrated with a mango pomelo cake :)

My two oldest sons’ 3rd and 4th birthdays–with Toy Story green alien guy cupcakes. OOoooooo.
I love the pretty pink ones! It would be so pretty set up for a baby shower or bridal shower!! : )

Those are adorable and inspirational enough to want to make prettier cakes! Our last cake was just over a week ago to celebrate with family that baby #2 is on the way!!!
LOVE the cake stands! They look like antiques which is a passion of mine. Getting ready to make cakes for niece’s bridal shower in May so making different recipes every weekend until I decide which one (or 2 or 3) I can bake the best or decorate the best! So far, the “Great Aunt Neely’s Chocolate Pound cake” is winning.
We celebrated my niece’s first birthday last weekend. I love baking and pretty displays. Everything on her site is beautiful!
My sister-in-law’s birthday about a month ago – way too long to go without cake! Great giveaway!

Last time I made a cake was last month for my mother in laws birthday. I even bought her a pretty cake pedestal for her chocolate cake. It was almost a disaster because I forgot to put sugar In the cake. Luckily for me my daughter HAS to taste any and all cake batter.

My husband birthday, some weeks ago…
You are right…these are adorable! My last cake date was over a month ago for a co-worker’s party. I’m in a Biggest Loser competition, so I’ve had to subdue most of my cake cravings as of late.
Do you think that randomly celebrating a Wednesday morning by making chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting counts as a true celebration? If it does then the last time I celebrated was, well, today. :D
About two weeks ago I made a batch of cappuccino marshmallows ( I make gourmet marshmallows for my company Daybreak Farms) but they didn’t set up correctly. They tasted wonderful, but the texture was too soft. Rather than throw it out, I made a devils food cake and used it as the filling between the layers, then I frosted it with a mocha frosting. It was fabulous.
My birthday was last week! My hubby made me a cake :)
my mother-in-law’s birth a month ago!

The last time we celebrated with cake would be my niece’s birthday in February. It was icecream cake that my mom made.
The last time I celebrated with cake was on my father’s birthday.. which was way back in February.
Why that would be my youngest daughter’s on Saturday and today just happens to be my oldest daughter’s birthday. And of course I could totally use the pedestals and dome. Can you throw in the macaroons too?
We enjoyed a Sachertorte on Tuesday when my mum came home from a trip to Nice through Vienna!

Thanks for the giveaway!! =)
Does tonight count? It’s my boyfriend’s birthday and of course there will be cake- yum!
Last celebrated with cake this past weekend…the celebration was for…well, no reason. I’m pregnant and craving baked goods like you wouldn’t believe!
2 weekends ago it just felt like a cake kind of day so I baked one – my son would have preferred brownies (so stated as he was shoveling a forkful of cake in his mouth) – but it made an ordinary Saturday just a little bit special….
To celebrate a day all to myself during spring break :-)
The last time I had cake was the birthday cake I made for my sister-in-law. :)

We had cake on my birthday in February!
These are so cute. I throw parties every chance I have, this would be perfect for the bridal shower I have in May, or would have been great for the Baby Shower last month. Adorable!!! Heck, make every night a party if I use them as a centerpiece on my dining table.
At a pinewood derby with fun, colorful cupcakes!
I made my daughter this adorable Hello Kitty / Candyland inspired cake for her 5th birthday. I spent all night working on it and I hid it in the oven so she wouldn’t see it till later. She was so suprised when I told her to open her eyes. I had told her the cake I was working on was for a relative so she couldn’t believe it was actually for her. Best memory ever, makes the sweat and tears worth it.
You are truly an inspiration!
….p.s. my baby shower cake had a baby in a pea pod, too cute! O and I had a very sweet boy :) Samuel Lucas, our first. I’m in love all over again :*

Just this past Sunday for my sister’s birthday.
I currently have a cake at home waiting to be frosted for Mom and brother’s birthday party this evening. I’ve also got butter sitting in a bowl waiting to turned into cupcakes and these pedestals would also be great for showing those off!
