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.

Congratulations Gloria!
We baked a batch of delicious cupcakes to celebrate my daughter’s 19th birthday! That was just a few weeks ago!
These were such a fun project for me. I hope your daughter enjoyed them, too!
Super cute.
I was craving it…
made a sprinkle cake, with my daughter last week, just to perk up an rainy gloomy sat morning.
My niece’s FIRST birthday!
I tried to make some cake pops for my best friend’s birthday party. they didn’t come out as cute as i anticipated but yum! (:
This week at work we celebrated 2 birthdays together. My boss and new co-worker. I am the one usually tasked with the cake and cupcakes. They all know how much I love to bake and so I made both for this occasion.
Last time I had cake was at my nephews First Communion and now I am making plans to make my daughters Quinceanera memorable!!!
I had cake at every single one of my birthday parties
I made a cake for my mom’s bday at the beginning of this month! Chocolate Cherry cake with whipped cream frosting, per her request :-)
I do candy Buffets. this would be so great for it
Check out my website soon!

My husband and I are making the bride and groom cake pops for our son’s upcoming wedding, but I can’t seem to find the black heart sprinkles anywhere . . . not even at cakeart.com. Please tell me where I can order them from. They are so cute! Thanks for your help. Judy

So cute so cute so cute, like heaven hihi. <3
Hey, girly. Just checking in on you – and hope everything is ok? I have read you for quite some time now and I want to read you for, like, the next two forevers. Be well.
We celebrate every birthday with a cake. From themes such as Dora to the now Angry Birds cake. A wedding shower is next and my thoughts drift towards the cake stand photo above and I drool. At estate sales I cannot pass any serving dishes without picking them up. I am hoping to use this as inspiration for the shower dessert table. Louise
Beautiful! Now I want to go bake something “Sweet” this photo is worth a thousand words.
Wow fantastic my mouth is watering!
Hi Bakerella! Love love LOVE your site! This morning, I saw a local Starbucks advertising their own Cake Pops for sale– please tell me you entered into some huge deal with them that’s making you fabulously wealthy :) I hope your treatment is going well and we’ll hear from you again soon! Be well!
These cake stands get my heart-a-pumpin’ ohhh… I love cake! Just had my Spring Open House and served the yummiest CAKE BITES….
Hope all is well!

wondering about you!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE cake pedestals!!!! If you’ved missed this giveaway like me… enter for mine! Go Bakerella’s!!!! http://pamcakediva.com/?p=1588
Thinking about you! I hope all is well and you are doing wonderful!
I somehow found your website and have been intrigued for the past 3 days. I am 16 years old and have decided that with my life I want to open a bakery. I have been to some of the high end bakeries near my house, ironically enough my favorite one to go to is Sweet & Saucy. I first went there to get french macaroons for my sisters birthday and then I realized, that was the type of place I want to open. Then when I was browsing your site I noticed the pictures from that bakery. I think your site is super inspirational and it has helped me already within these 3 days figure out a lot about baking. Since Friday I have made 3 different batches of different cake pops, just messing around with the flavors. If you have any tips for me in starting a career in baking please let me know! I love looking at all your recipes and pictures!
Hope you’re doing okay! Haven’t seen a new post in a while… was getting concerned. How’s everything going healthwise?
You´re so amazing Bakerella :)
:) regards from spain!! :)
come to europe to sign books PLEASE!
Hope you’re doing well.
I am absolutely smitten with cake pops. My plan is to get started with projects to do with my granddaughter.
I love the displays with the cake pedestals! I plan to use a milk glass pedestal, put a small African violet in the center, surround with green easter grass, then decorate with colored eggs for my Easter table.
wowww im so sad i missed this! the stands are just adorable. and those cakes… my gosh that is skill! now i must shop melody’s store!!!
Sadly I missed the giveaway, but wonderful pictures, wish that was my table
I love your blog, I can’t believe some of these cakes are food! They are pieces of art!
Hope that you are getting on ok, and are keeping smiling.
my thoughts are with you.
A fellow, not quite so talented baker.

Cake auction last night, big sucess!
I would like to let you know that one of your pictures from Have your roses, and eat them, too! have been used in a swedish competition called Miss Cupcake 2011 by Dr. Oetker.

We celebrated my son’s bday with a cake shaped like a number 1!
I would like to find the white “curvy” cake stand that the pink ruffle cake is sitting on, but it’s not on their website. Anyone know where I can find one?
I am baking a cake righ now!! Lol. I love cake stands. I collect them. I found a really great place in Ohio that sells beautiful cake stands in some amazing colours.
here is the link….

I need a ruffle cake in my life too. I think everybody needs a ruffle cake. Absolutely beautiful! Sorry I missed your contest. My last cake was a chocolate cheese cake; recipe by Alice Medrich. It was, as always, yummy. Oh and I made an icebox cake with homemade chocolate wafers, that was good too (birthday celebrations). I am gearing up to make your version of the 12 layer cake (14 layers). Love your instruction and the idea to use inexpensive disposable pans. Your photo of the finished product is just too enticing to resist. So glad to hear that you are managing well. Thank you for the link to organ donor information. I wish you and your mother vitality and good health!
the last occasion i celebrated with cake was… monday. today is tuesday, so we will probably have more cake this afternoon to celebrate tuesday.
I was inspired by your pictures from Sweet and Saucy, so I hunted down two pink hobnail cake stands. One came in time for my daughter’s fairy birthday party and had to join the festivities!
We stacked strawberries dipped in white chocolate and colored sugar on it. I’d leave a picture, but I can’t seem to figure you how to do it.
We had a dinner party last night and had a roll cake for dessert. Mmmm…delicious!
Sweet & Saucy Shop is right down the street from my house. I love that place!!! My boyfriend surprised me with a box of their cake pops in every single flavor. So good. Also their candy bar cupcake is amazing. I have made a copy but theirs is still best.
My parents Birthday!!! Yummy Black and white cake from Glaus bakery in SLC
Hope you continue to do well, and you continue to receive good news as you and your Mom wait for test results.
I baked a great lemon bundt cake this weekend with such a nice, thick Key-lime-juice-mixed-into-10X-sugar glaze, with shredded coconut on top. Just the thing to welcome spring!

Hi! This is Jake from Restoration Furniture, now Dusty Gem Decor. I want to let our followers know that in order to make things easier, we brothers have decided to have two seperate websites. Restoration Furniture will be doing summer sales and will try to continue to post items for sale as well as provide custom refinishing for customers. Dusty Gem Decor is based on the same principles as Restoration Furniture. They too will post items for sale and offer refinishing for customers.
Wow these pictures are amazing!! The sweet creations are so unique and definitely made me want one of each now. It’s so important for bakers now to be creative in the ways they construct their cakes, since there are so many different baking shops out there today. I would love to visit your friend’s shop one day!
Looks delicious and beautiful as always! Thanks for posting!
Totally un-related. but I was at urban outfitters yesterday.. I was looking at one of the tables, until I saw your book. I squealed a little bit. People thought I was strange. It was just awesome to actually SEE the book. It does exist!
Well I’m super jealous! I want those!!
I know the giveaway is over but I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I nominated you for a bloggers award! If you have time, check it out!
Jess = )
I celebrated my nieces 7th birthday party by making her a Hello Kitty cake. It was a hit ! Everyone loved it !
my birthday….enjoy my last year I can claim that I’m still in my 20’s!!!!
I celebrated with cake this last Friday. I used the sheet cake recipe that you posted from Pioneer Woman. I made that cake twice in March for both work and friends.
I also baked a birthday cake on March 18th for my son using the same cake pans that my mother used for my cake every year.
I had some cake during Christmas time…
We had a baby shower at work for a co-worker. These cakes and pedestals are beautiful!
I’ve been looking for cute cake stands everywhere! and I haven’t been able to find them. Thanks!

I baked a vanilla cake for my son last weekend! I don’t have cake stand :( This cake stand is beautiful!
A group of friends at my church brought a chocolate mousse cake to our Wednesday night pot luck dinner to celebrate my birthday – YUMMMMMMM!
In Winnipg we celebrate everything with a cake. At the workplace,school or home, a cake either baked or brought in from our famous Jeannes Bakery. Our granddaughter just celebrated her birthday with a cake. I like to display my baking on pedestals or platters. Hope I can add these to our Easter dinner. I usually serve 5 desserts. I try to please our 4 daughters and their husbands with their favourites. Enjoy your blog. Louise

I’m thrilled! Thank you so very much.

I could completely use these! I just started out a small cupcake, cake pop (thank you for the inspiration) and mini-cheesecake business and this would truly add a bit of class to my displays. Thank you for the chance.
Hope you are well! – Kari
St. Patrick’s day! The cake wasn’t green but it was delicious.

Definitely cake worthy!!!
We celebrated my youngest son’s birthday in our home recently. We had a magic show and magic cupCAKES! Yum!
I completely missed the deadline, but still wanted to comment on how pretty those pedestals are. They remind me of the antique Candlewick pedestals that I have. Cake always looks prettier, and even more delicious perhaps, on a pedestal. I always give them as wedding gifts. Every couple should have at least one. :-) Thanks for the reference!
A few days ago when my son decided we needed one. Can never pass up an opportunity to be in the kitchen with him. He will make a great cook later in life.
My birthday 2 weeks ago! Love those cake stands!

I celebrate EVERYDAY with cake! The most recent one was my friend’s 23rd birthday.
