Guest Picks: Cake Stands Worth Drooling Over

Dessert won’t be the only delicious-looking sight on the table when you set out one of these footed cake plates

Christine Fox May 3, 2014

I'm an Everyday Mama to three and a San Diego-based freelance writer. I love everything that has to do with shopping and being the talk of the neighborhood when I find the perfect necklace or the perfect side table. My style philosophy is simple: that being a mom does not mean that you should sacrifice style. You can be a mom and stylish! When she's not shopping or writing about shopping, she can be found playing with her three kids at the park. My favorite stores are Target, Nordstrom and Anthropologie but when it comes to finding the perfect pair of jeans, no store is off limits. For more style finds, you can follow me on Twitter @EverydayMama, Facebook, and visit my daily blog at http://www.everydaymama.com.

I’m one of those people who like to eat dessert first. But if I can’t, dinner isn’t over until dessert is served! Dessert is one part of the meal that everyone looks forward to. And considering the amount of time it takes to bake elaborate cakes and desserts, they should be displayed as the centerpiece of the meal. These cake plates are all unique and beautiful and will make your desserts look even yummier. Here’s to lots of spring and summer parties with plenty of desserts to go around! — Christine from Everyday Mama

I enjoy a pretty cake and or dessert stand. I admire them on people's counters. I have many many stands, I always have one on my counter, even if I buy store bought bakery cookies I put it on a pretty stand!

Lovely cake stands, but I do not like the look of partial goodies on display. I bought a glass dome with reeded glass so that the image is blurred but the cake stays fresh. Of course, I could just eat all the cake...but then that leads to other problems like a whole new wardrobe.
