Love is a Teacup handcrafted cake stand

One-of-a-kind cake stand

One-of-a-kind cake stand

This is a real one-of-a-kind cake stand that you won’t find replicated anywhere else.

Created from a mix of pre-loved pink and gold themed plates, held together with a crystal vase and a vintage sundae glass, the cake stand measures 19.5cm in height and has three layers ready to be filled with tempting cakes.

It would add a touch of old fashioned elegance to your tea table or, if you’re on a post-Christmas diet, you could use it in a bedroom to display your jewellery on.

Blue cake stand spotted at Laura Ashley

Perfect for afternoon tea

Perfect for afternoon tea

We love the idea of afternoon tea and you can’t possibly have one without a cake stand. Amongst all the pretty pink and cream offerings, we spyed this three tiered blue stand handpainted with dots and stripes which we think will do the trick.

It’s £25 from Laura Ashley where we found it in the 3 for 2 section, so you may as well purchase another gift and then a little something for yourself thrown in for free. Marvellous. Now, what cakes shall we have?

Vintage bespoke cake stands

Rich Bouquets vintag cake stand

Rich Bouquets cake stand (£70)

 At Cosy Home Blog, we’re big fans of vintage china and are rather partial to cake stands too. So it was rather exciting to come across a new venture which not only combines vintage china and cake stands, but also creates bespoke pieces too.

Let Them Eat Cake sells one-off vintage cake stands of all shapes and sizes. All the stands are unique, as they design and make the stands themselves (what a fun job!), from lovely mismatched pieces of vintage china.

Some of them are made up of plates, as you’d expected from tiered cake stands, whilst others have a  cup added to the third tier, for that extra quirky look.

The Regency Tea three tier cake stand has a base plate measuring 230mm, with a distinctive pink design and a middle floral plate with a navy ribbon edge. It’s topped off with a vintage floral cup and saucer and costs £65.

They’re not all tiered cake stands though, there are some really nice pedestal stands too, such as this 1920s ‘Woodland Walk’ stand (£35), which has a nice green glass base.

 But if you’ve browsed the options on offer and nothing quite takes your fancy, or if you’ve got your own collection of favourite pieces of china that you’d like recycled, then Let Them Eat Cake can create your own very special bespoke cake stand.

This is a great idea, and one of best vintage china recycling initiatives we’ve come across recently. It’s especially good if you’d like something special to match your exsiting china, or to give as a gift. Find out more about their bespoke cake stand designing service here.

This cake or gateaux server and knife set would be the perfect accompaniment to the cake stand we featured yesterday.

Made in a vintage style from silver plated metal, both pieces have decorative handles and would be ideal for serving afternoon tea.

The gateaux cake server set is available from Plumo and is currently reduced to £12 (was £18).

Mmm, afternoon tea...

Three tier white cake stand

Being  partial to indulging in afternoon tea, it’s not surprising that we were rather taken with this lovely large cake stand.

It has three tiers that you can pack with cakes, sandwiches and scones with cream and jam, and a lovely ornate handle at the top for carrying it to the table.

The three tier cake stand is white and available for £25 from Jasmine Way.
