Cake Stands

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

The object of my hearts desire....cake stands. Yes, its true I  absolutely love cake stands. While most girls have a collection of fabulous shoes or handbags I have a fabulous collection of cake stands. From vintage milk glass to hand painted ceramic I love them all!


These cake stands from Clara French have been on my "wish list" for years. The sheer amount of work that is put into each one of them is unlike any other stand I have seen. They are whimsical, and a stand that you will be proud to display for a lifetime. My favorites are the Elle in Blue, Beaded Bijoux, and Pink Droplet.  The best part about these stands is that you can add a custom monogram or personalized message! What a beautiful shower gift this would make.


I first discovered these mini cake stand pedestals for single cupcakes at Big Sugar Bakeshop in Studio City, CA. I thought they were so cute. Wouldn't they look adorable if you had them at each persons place setting for a shower or birthday party? Alternating colors or one color would look soo adorable! If you don't live  near Big Sugar Bakeshop you can order them online at origincrafts.






Milk Glass is another favorite of mine. Vintage milk glass cake stands are beautiful. There are many reproductions ones now but nothing beats the original milk glass. You can find milk glass cake stands on ebay, vintage stores and flea markets if you look hard enough.




I love this website called sweet and saucy . They sell beautiful cake stands, domes and other pretty baking display items. So sweet and yet so saucy :).



Although some of these "decor bon bon" may not be "cake stands per se" they would make the perfect accompaniment with any cake on your table. You want to make sure your have dimension including height when you create your table display. You can buy these beauties at rosannainc.

Marie Antoinette inspired

Thursday, January 27, 2011

Ahh...must be nice being pampered surrounded by stunning pastries and gorgeous french interiors. One can dream....

I remember watching Sofia Coppolas movie depicting Marie Antoinette and being blown away by the beautiful interiors of Versailles, the clothing, and meticulous attention to detail. Of course, I know it was only a movie but you can imagine how beautiful it must have really been.



How stunning are those pink tea cups? I can just imagine this for a bridal shower tea. The shades of pinks and purples in the centerpiece are to die for!! Love the silk taffeta fabric they used for the chairs. What gorgeous inspiration.


A modern adaptation of Marie Antoinette pastries she was known to love. Cute for a little girls birthday party or shower.



Can you imagine how stunning your bridesmaids would look in all pastels? Look at these dresses by Ian Stuart.




Absolutely no Marie Antoinette inspired wedding would be complete without french macaroons. The original french macaroon came from laduree. Even their packaging is to die for!
