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!

Hi!
Found your blog on etsy, looking into cake pops. My nephew’s bday is coming up and my sister is the great baker in the family. I thought she’d love to see your instructions. Thanks!
We just celebrated our dad’s bday. I made an old fashioned chocolate cake (Nigella Lawson’s recipe), but did my own thing with the icing. He loves chocolate with orange. So I did a light cream cheese icing speckled with fresh orange zest. It had a beautiful natural yellow colour. I decorated the cake with a few of the Frontiersman Smurfs. SO cute!
I have a pic, but can’t attach it here. Let me know if you want to see it.
Thanks again!
Colette
The last time I made a cake was just a few weeks ago for my Dad’s birthday. Used my plain old plastic cake stand too. But on the plus side…I did find a delicious low sugar pecan cake recipe, so there’s always a silver lining :)

We celebrated my son’s awesome report card from school with red velvet cake (his favorite) !
