I saw this picture above on Daisy Pink Cupcakes' blog under the title "Vintage wedding ideas" and fell in love. I just love the shot above of the vintage dessert stand set in a cupboard. The shelves are full of yummy pies and cakes on vintage cake stands, all labeled beautifully to match the lining paper at the back of the armoire. The shabby chic "Grandma's famous Cherry Pies" sign is so cute.
The photo comes from a shoot for Brides Northern California magazine for their Fall/Winter issue out on September 1, 2009. I thought it would be great inspiration for my Christmas table so I have started looking for vintage cake stands and bowls to add to my collection.
Here are a few that I have my eye on:
Rice melamine cake plates from Nettlegreen in mint blue and pink.
Lisbeth Dahl's vintage looking white ceramic cake stand and bell jar cake stand from Love it have it
Pastel footed dessert bowls from Anthropologie with a vintage faded wash
Lisbeth Dahl lavender glass tiered cake stands from Something
1950's looking pastel fluted ceramic cake stands from John Lewis
Glass cake stand with mirrored base and two tiered glass cake stand from Dot Com Gift Shop
1920's looking pressed glass cake stands from Amazon in green and pink
More to come on this later......
Have a sweet day! x
What a lovely idea for the holidays - a collection of beautifully presented cakes! I believe I would skip dinner and just want to sample every yummy dessert. I know where all the children will be hovering...
ReplyDeleteI love them ALL! :)

Oh I Love cake stands, particularly when they have those lovely covers. The unfortunate thing is the cake gets eaten much more quickly and there's usually none left for me
ReplyDelete=0 Love this! I had a tea party for my birthday over the summer but no cake stand! (only cupcake stand which was pretty)
ReplyDeleteTorie! I remember seeing this and fell in LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI have a post on Monday that talks about one of my favorite Cake Plate makers....Mosser Glass. Check my post on Monday - it is the Jadeite stand (also featured in Daisy Pink Cupcake's photo on the 3rd shelf)
Can't wait to see how you turn these treasures into your Christmas Decor...I simply ADORE cake plates...have a collection - and am always on the hunt for more!
Hugs from California - Tracy.
i love them all, it would be hard to choose, even hard to chose three
ReplyDeleteI love all of these...I have one very similar to the Lisbeth Dahl ones. A lovely way to serve cakes or sandwiches...or just have as something beautiful to look at. XXXX
ReplyDeleteLovely things and the polaroid templates... I found a "polaroid-ize yout photo" template somewhere online, but can't find it anywhere. Did you use a free template available somewhere or is it your own?

Your piccies are gorgeous. Like all the others I too love cake stands and am lucky to have 3 antique glass ones that belonged to my nan.
ReplyDeleteHowever I have my eye on this one at Ikea as it has a glass domed lid so keeps the cakes fresh! And it is only £12.99!! See link below. xx

I just adore cake stands! I saw the cutest idea somewhere (that slips my mind) where they made their own by taking smaller plates and gluing them to old milk vases or candle stands -- it comes out just darling!
ReplyDeleteHi Torie, only just discovered your lovely blog and oddly enough I have just started selling vintage cake stands on etsy and going to be adding more over the coming week. Please have a look. Thank you
