Cake Stands & Trays

Many types of cake stands are available, each with its unique design and purpose. Some of the most popular types include:

Round Cake Stands

These are simple and elegant, with a classic design that works well for most cakes and desserts.

Pedestal Cake Stands

These are tall and elegant, with a single stem that holds the cake plate above the table.

Using a cake stand is easy, but there are a few things to remember. For example, when assembling a tiered cake stand, you must ensure each tier is level and secure.
