Cake stands & cake plates
There are 21 products.
A beautiful cake stand turns any cake into a centrepiece, whether on the coffee table, at a children's birthday party or on a wedding dessert buffet. In this category you will find cake stands, display stands and cake plates for every occasion: the white 3-tier cake stand, which doubles as a tiered stand for cupcakes and slices of cake, the Romantik cake stand with Ø 22 cm, the white Vintage ceramic cake plate on a 12 cm foot with Ø 23 cm and a glass cake dome with Ø 22 cm. There are also cake plates in white and in the colours Strawberry, French Grey, Cornflower and Mustard. For kids' parties we offer themed stands with football, ninja, dinosaur, triceratops, bunny, insects or Easter designs, the giraffe donut stand, the Grave donut stand and an ice cream cone stand. If you prefer a natural look, try the wooden Bar à sucettes stand and a copper and wood pretzel stand. This way every cake, donut and cookie gets the stage it deserves.
Ideas for your dessert table
A great dessert table plays with different heights. When cakes, cupcakes and small sweets stand on several levels, the buffet looks generous and invites guests to help themselves. A few ideas for your next celebration:
- Weddings and christenings: the white 3-tier cake stand holds macarons, cupcakes and mini desserts, while the wedding cake takes pride of place on the white Vintage cake plate. Flowers, ribbons and a table runner complete the picture.
- Sunday coffee and cake: the Romantik stand or a coloured plate in French Grey or Cornflower makes even a simple plaited loaf or tart look special.
- Children's birthdays: a stand matching the party theme, such as dinosaur, ninja or football, becomes the star. The giraffe donut stand and the ice cream cone stand make little eyes light up.
- Easter and garden parties: the Easter stand, the cardboard bunny stand and the insect stand go perfectly with spring bakes, and the Strawberry or Mustard plates add colour to the table.
- Aperitif: serve pretzels on the copper and wood pretzel stand and lollipops or cake pops on the Bar à sucettes stand.
How to choose the right cake stand
- Several tiers for many guests: a 3-tier cake stand offers lots of space on a small footprint for cupcakes, macarons and mini desserts and is the classic choice for a wedding dessert buffet.
- Cake plate on a foot: a single cake looks more festive on a raised plate and stays within easy reach of every guest.
- Keep it fresh under a dome: the glass cake dome protects cakes and bakes from drying out and from insects, ideal for garden parties.
- Themed stands for kids: donut and themed stands match the party theme, and the Bar à sucettes stand shows off lollipops and cake pops beautifully.
Tips for arranging cakes on a stand
Place the cake on the stand just before serving and keep it cool until then. On a tiered stand, the heaviest pieces go at the bottom and light cupcakes and macarons at the top. Leave a little space between the cupcakes so the frosting does not smudge. A cardboard stand is light and perfect for a one-off party, while ceramic, glass and wood will serve you for years. Think about the buffet layout too: tall stands at the back, flat cake plates at the front. For a stable cake, cut it directly on the plate and have a cake knife and server ready. After the party, clean ceramic and glass with warm water and a soft cloth.
What to look for when buying a cake stand
First consider what you want to serve. A large cake needs a sturdy cake plate with a diameter slightly larger than the cake. For lots of small bakes, a tiered stand is more practical. Then think about the style of your event: white and vintage suit weddings and christenings, colours like Strawberry and Mustard suit cheerful parties, copper and wood suit rustic aperitifs and themed stands suit children's parties. If the cake will be on display for a while, add a cake dome.
Frequently asked questions
Which cake stand is best for a wedding?
For the wedding cake or a dessert table, a tiered cake stand is ideal. The white 3-tier cake stand suits almost any style and can be dressed up with flowers, ribbons or a table runner.
Can I use a cake stand for cupcakes?
Yes, a tiered stand is also a cupcake stand. Place the cupcakes on each tier with a little space between them.
What is the difference between a cake plate and a cake plate on a foot?
A flat cake plate is for serving directly on the table, while a cake plate on a foot raises the cake and shows it off better. Add a matching glass dome and you have a cake stand with a lid.
Are the themed stands reusable?
The cardboard stands are made for parties and can be used several times if handled with care; ceramic, glass, wood and copper last for years.
