US meets UK

I really do. I started dreaming about cake stands after I saw this one on Mrs. Penguin’s blog. le swoon:

I let my mind wander to the cake buffet idea and decided to search out cake stands to share with you all. I bake all the time so I can easily justify cake stands as wedding/life purchases. I can’t really purchase any cake stands in England because I worry about their fragility in transit. So I’ll just share my day dreams with the hive.

Sunny Yellow? Why yes…I did just add this to our registry…

It’s also available in olive and chiffon.

I’m not usually a huge glass cake stand fan, or the “plate attached to base” cake stands. But I think this city cake plate is adorable!

I like the details on this one – but would I honestly use it past the wedding day?

Oh Martha, why do you do this to me? I can’t find this one anywhere, but I think it’s very pretty.

Poppies? Cake? Cake stand? Yes please!

There are tons of gorgeous milk glass and jadeite cake stands on ebay – I had to fight the power to bid!  Cake stands are the one wedding purchase I can think of that I’m quite happy with making. Particularly because I know I’ll continue to use them long after August. Thanks for following along in my cake stand day dream!

Are you making any combo wedding+life purchases?
