29 Gorgeous Cake Stands To Elevate Your Entertaining

Use cake stands to elevate your entertaining and to take your decorating to new heights.

I am a sucker for a cake stand. Add a pedestal to a plate, and I just can’t resist.

I counted the other day, and I own at least a dozen.

Big, small, tall, short, fancy, casual, rustic, refined…

I love putting food, like this blueberry lemon cheeseecake, on a pedestal.

Cake stands can really elevate your entertaining, and your decorating, too.

I’ve curated a collection of my favorite cake stands, all of which are available for purchase online.

This collection includes inexpensive stands that are perfect for casual parties and splurge-worthy ones that are sure to become family keepsakes. Prices start as low as $15.

Can you say gorgeous? This galvanized and wood stand is so versatile.

I’m a sucker for a cake pedestal with a cloche. I love this twig version for fall or for outdoor parties. It’s definitely a splurge, but the detailing is amazing.

I think Kate Spade has the right idea. Eat cake for breakfast! (Guilty!)

Don’t you just love the patina of this French-inspired pedestal?

A graceful life is blessed. Wise words on this cake pedestal from Dayspring.

You’ll find more photos and links to purchase other cake stands at the end of this post.

I own many of the stands in this collection — or similar versions of them, like this vintage-style jade milk glass pedestal that I used for my Easter decorating.

Come to think of it, I also used it at Christmas as part of my holiday display in the dining room.

The rest of the cake stands in this collection are on my wishlist because I don’t think you can own too many!

Can I get an amen? (Love this stand artwork, which can be ordered as a poster or recipe binder on Zazzle.)

Whenever I throw parties, like this champagne and cinema bash or my pink-and-green luncheon, I usually use cake plates and cake pedestals to provide height to my tablescapes and buffets.

And while cake plates are made for serving, don’t discount their decorating value.

Heck, I even use footed stands in the bathroom to hold my homemade bath bombs.
