: I am looking where in this world I can get cake stands to buy.This will be for displaying wedding cakes. I am looking for a metallic stands, chrome plated in different shapes; some to take two cakes some three cakes. any help will be appreciated.
If you are looking for English-style metal cakestands, try Beryl's Cake Decorating Equipment (800) 488-2749. She imports a very elegant, though somewhat pricy, line from the UK by Cynthia Venn. A few of these cakestands were featured way back in 1991 in a book by Nick Lodge called "Cake Styling: Presenting and Photographing Your Cakes." The other products that I have seen, including Wilton, are rather inelegant and I cannot recommend them. If the English cake stands are out of your price range, try using plexiglass instead, which tends to "disappear" when you style a table. Linda Pawsey, in her most recent book,"New Wedding Cake Designs," uses alot of plexi rather well. Also look to the current issue of American Cake Decorating magazine (Jan/Feb 1998) for a great example of a separated tier cake, by Kerry Vincent, that is displayed on plexi stands made by Paul Eyraud and Company. Kerry is an ex-patriate Australian living in Oklahoma and is the best sugarcraft artist working in the United States today.
