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 birthday!! The only thing that would have made the coconut cake any better would have been one of these beautiful cake stands!!
It is my dream to have a Bakery…I am always dreaming up names, like Sugar Pies or Shoogarbaker’s. Anyways…these cake stands are the cutest ever. The last time I celebrated with cake was on March 5th at my brothers wedding. My sister baked the wedding cake and it had delicious butter cream frosting. My new sister-in-law, Jana chose three of my favorite colors…red, white, and black. It was a classy affair with delicious cake!!!
My engagement party to the man of my dreams
My friend’s daughter’s first birthday!
My best friend from high school’s wedding!
March 20, for my birthday. It was a store bought gluten free cake. I have been making cakes for over 30 years, but couldn’t eat them the last 15 years. Your blog has inspired me to start experimenting with gluten free cakes. They make GF cake mixes, so cake pops are in my future!
I have been looking all over for pedastals and these are FABULOUS!!!!
My (now) two-year-old’s birthday this past Thursday!
I had cake last night because I had made cupcakes a few days ago and had an intense craving . . . but it wasn’t on such a pretty pedestal like these ones:)
This past Saturday, at our teams gymnastics meet- we had a “cupcake wars” theme and each team brought 4 dozen cupcakes which were judged at the end of the day, then every gymnast got to take some too :)

Cake Celebrations every week around this home! Most recently a co-worker. Love your blog; hope you are well!
I took my gma out for cupcakes a couple weekends ago. Cupcakes count as a kind of cake right? (of course they do!)
The last time was my birthday! I had a delicious chocolate cake with vanilla icing made by my sweet cousins :)
Love the cake stands and hoping you are feeling better! The last celebration with cake was March 4, a carrot cake for my honey! You are in my thoughts!
My friends birthday was last week! Got a generic cake from Wal- Mart, but on a college student’s budget, it was delish!

These stands are beautiful!! I think every occasion is one that should be celebrated with cake!! The last one celebrated with cake at my house was my son’s 14th birthday. He is such a great kid and lets me chose his cake so I can experiment with either new flavors, twists on old flavors, or new designs!
A baby shower!

My daughter’s bday. She doesn’t like a lot of bday cake so I made a crepe tower with nutella to substitute a cake (on a pedestal stand!)
What pedestals??? Just kidding! Gorgeous. Last time we celebrated with cake was my son’s 5th birthday. I made a Thomas Cake….with fondant. There’s a first and a last time for everything, right???
My daughter’s bday. She doesn’t like a lot of bday cake so I made a crepe tower of nutella to substitute a cake (on a pedestal stand!)

My son and I celebrated last Monday (and Happy Spring) by baking a quatre-quarts cake. Simple vanilla goodness!

Every occasion is celebrated with cake at our house! Most recently, it was my birthday.

My daughter’s 6th birthday a couple weeks ago -it’s been too long since we had cake. Thankfully, my son’s 4th birthday will be here soon. On Easter. And he wants carrot cake – I think that is adorable!
My daughter and my son-in-love both turn 30 this month. They requested cupcakes. I made Little Mermaid cupcakes for her and Pirate cupcakes for him. They loved my effort and we also had Pirate ship ice cream boats. Also a good effort, but like you said in your new book. Who doesn’t like sweets, no matter what they look like. Thinking about making the monkey cake pops for my 4th grandchilds birthday Friday.
I hate to say it, but the last occasion was a funeral for my grandpa this past weekend.
Those pics are lovely!
We celebrate every occasion with cake, but the latest one was St. Patrick’s day with Guiness cupcakes. I made 6 dozen mini cupcakes & sent them to my husbands office.

We celebrated the birthday’s of the little Chinese orphan girls we have sponsored- they share March 10th as their birthday. But why have to have a reason to celebrate to have cake- cake in and of itself is reason enough!
