| Martha Stewart Brand.. Beautiful but out of my budget $179.00 Don't you just love the scallops on it.. So white and clean. |
 |
| Anchor Hocking Brand.. $39.00 So bland , after looking at the other ones. ps... but the cake looks pretty.. |
 |
| Pioneer Woman Brand . I love this one..but....... it is no longer available on the wal mart sight, so I went to ebay-- $125.00 OOPS...out of my budget too.. Looks like I will just have to keep looking and wishing. ha And using my old/trusty/ugly Tubberware gold bottom with cream top [I think the top was white in its day[smile]. I have had it for 35 years.. It still holds the cakes quiet well, and has served a hungry hubby, and 2 growing children. It has served me well. |
Judy, I had no idea a cake stand would be that expensive. So pretty though!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
It is pretty, isn't it? But not $179 pretty.lol
DeleteI am watching the thrift stores for one.. Hope you have a great day too.
Oh, that cake stand is pretty! I love the scallops on the bottom! I used to have a glass cake stand with a glass top, nothing fancy- I think I got it at walmart when we were first married. It lasted quite a while and I used it often but somehow the glass top part broke and I cant recall whatever happened to the bottom part. A cake stand is one of those things that are on my running list of "things I want to get one day" haha. I have gone to Goodwill a few times in the last several months and I often browse the housewares section. I think if I ever see one- fancy or not- I'll probably scoop it up since I found it so useful to have one in the past. And yard sales might be another good place to search for one. You just never know what some people get rid of. :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to have a beautiful crystal cake stand that had a large flat bottom (like a plate.) I recall that when you turned the bottom part upside down you could use the flat bottom plate as a vegetable tray. Another way to use that one she had was to place the knob of the top glass part inside the center of it (invert the whole stand) and use it as a fruit/punch bowl. It was pretty neat- I'd love to get one that has a multi purpose like that. :)
I love the scallops too.. It was a junk email in my inbox, when I clicked on it, I saw that beautiful cake plate, then I saw that price..whew!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to watch the thrift stores, salvation army ,etc. My grandmother had one of those crystal ones also..It was so pretty.. Would love to have it
We have a glass one and a plastic one (that locks and has a handle). No one opts for the plastic one ever! :) If any of us bakes it's going in the glass stand!! Hopefully you get one soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nakisha, I will keep looking.
DeleteLovely! I've seen them here without the glass top, for about $30, and everything here is 10x the price it is over there so don't give up. I have a real thing for those tiered stands for little cakes and have a few of those - although like my cake stand they are mostly strewn around the shop displaying haberdashery items!
ReplyDeleteI will keep looking until I find one in my budget..
DeleteLove your idea for using them for your Haberdashery, know that is pretty..
I've seen a Waterford crystal one!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, I bet the crystal one was pretty.
Deleteoooh..the scallops are lovely.. I have an old glass one, not sure where it came from, maybe Mom? She often found things she wouldn't use, but thought I would need. Even my grandma bought me a metal pan that baked checkerboard cakes, really...again, she thought I needed one...gave it to a daughter-in-law who thought she would use it. You can borrow my stand anytime...D
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that your mom and grandma gave you things that they thought you needed.[they know, alot more than we do,smile]
DeleteHow sweet to let me borrow your cake stand.. We will have to ship it back and forth.lol[I think we need to live closer to each other sister.]
I am sure, now you know what you want, that one day you will find something similar, because you are now looking for something specific. You may even find it in a thrift store. And, I should think everyone loves your old container -many memories of happy cooking shared.
ReplyDeleteYou are right...I might find it..maybe at the thrift store or yard sale ,you never know?
Deleteand until then, the "old tubberware" will keep making memories.
I have two, one domed one over a flat fancy plate, and one tall one. Both were purchased at flea markets or estate sales for around $15. I use them constantly when I bake cakes and cupcakes for family gatherings because you don't have to use toothpicks or anything to hold up saran wrap when covering them. I love how easy it is to keep the baked goods fresh, so we use it on a regular basis, even though it's "fancy." I also had a Tupperware one at some point, and that is handy if traveling with the cake---but I never seem to use it anymore.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding one reasonably!
Thank you Becky.. I am on the look..
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
I have 2 of them that were purchased for around $15 long ago at a flea market or estate sale. We use them frequently since they keep cakes and cupcakes fresh without using the toothpicks/plastic wrap method I used to use--a real pain!
ReplyDeleteI have a Tupperware for if I'm taking a cake to a family party or something, but can't remember the last time I used that one.
I hope you find one soon for a reasonable price.
Thank you Becky.. I am still looking..
DeleteA domed cake stand is very elegant. I'd keep looking at yard sales and thrift stores. In the meantime, if you want just a stand (without the cover), you'll see lots of ideas on-line of stands made from glasses or candle holders and plates, as well as wooden ones and terra cotta ones. I don't have a cake stand, but now you have me wanting one! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am going to keep looking.I was shocked at the prices of these things.. Sorry I got you to wanting one.lol Maybe , we both will find one that is reasonable..
DeleteThe scalloped stand is beautiful! Hoping you find one you like at a price you like as well. I have the plain clear glass dome and use it on a white ironstone pedestal cake stand base. Works really well. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the scalloped one too.. I think if I had not seen it first. I could have already found one..It is just SO Pretty.lol.. But, I will keep looking at the flea market/yard sales.. I will eventually find one. smile.
DeleteWhat a beautiful stand from Martha but that is definitely an expensive one. I had to laugh at your comment about the one use keep using, I'm sure I've seen those over the years.
ReplyDeleteKelly , isn't that a beautiful cake stand? I just love it.. But oh my... just to high for my budget.ha
DeleteYard sale time will be here soon! Keep watching! You never know what treasures will show up.
ReplyDeleteBe blessed!
Laura
Thank you Laura, I am still looking..Bless you too.
DeleteYou know, half the fun is the hunt! I only have the bottom, cake stand with no cover that I found at a thrift store. It really does dress up a cake! I agree with everyone's comments, yard sales and garage sales plus flea market season is right around the corner! I'm sure you find the perfect cake stand with a dome at the right price!
ReplyDeleteCathe,
DeleteFor sure... I am going to be watching for a pretty one at the flea markets.
