What Is The Point Of A Cake Stand?

Range and usage of cake stands

They say there's always room for dessert. Whether it's a wedding, a birthday, or simply an afternoon tea, there are plenty of cake stands to hold and display your sweet delicacies.

There are various types of cake stands, such as pedestal cake stands, which are probably the most common of all types. Pedestal cake stands are the kind you often see in cafes and bakeries. Pedestal cake stands consist of a main base which is also known as a cake plate with a strut underneath the plate.

Cake stands are also available as tiered stands, often referred to as cupcake stands, and are primarily used to display a range of cupcakes and pastries. Tiered stands are available as two-tier stands, three-tier stands, and sometimes even four-tier stands. The most sought-after cupcake stand by bakers is the rotating cupcake stand, which typically has a wooden cake pan supported by a regular board with wheels underneath.

This helps the baker to frost and dress the cake with intricate frosting. Cake stands generally have a dome, which is a clear lid that protects the dessert on the cake pan. A cake stand with a dome keeps the cake away from flies, dust and spills.

Accessories

Accessories for a cupcake display go beyond flowers. Get ideas from the cupcake decorations or theme of the party. Consider the following display decorations for these themes:

  • Animals: Display cupcakes with a farm animal theme using a child's barn or fence. Add accessories like a tractor and plastic hay bales throughout the display. For a jungle animal theme, look for small stuffed animals to place amongst the cupcakes, such as lions, monkeys or giraffes.
  • Baby Shower: At a baby shower, place useful items throughout the cupcake display. Pacifiers, small four-ounce bottles, rattles, bibs and baby shoes are perfect for adding a little something extra to the cupcake display. Use a baby blanket instead of a tablecloth underneath the displayed cupcakes.
  • Luau: Tape leis around the edge of a tiered serving platter. Small coconuts and tiki centerpieces are also perfect for adding to the table around the cupcakes.
  • Hunting: Decorate for a hunting theme by using shotgun shells scattered on the table around the cupcake stand. Place feathers or antlers around the table, too.
  • Sports: Get into the game by decorating for a sports theme using favorite memorabilia. Small posters, photos and awards are perfect for placing around the cupcake display. Remember to add shoes, skates, or the game ball to the table as well.

Interspersing a few tea light candles throughout the table will help create a sophisticated or romantic look to the cupcake display. This is a good idea for a dinner party or anniversary party display of cupcakes. During the holidays, use typical décor like Christmas ornaments or Easter eggs to the cake table.
