Three cheers for cake stands!

One of the things I loved when I met my mother-in-law (or Mil, as I call her) was her amazing cake stand collection. She had every shape, size and color stacked beautifully about her kitchen. I was hooked (on both her and the cake stands!)
There is just something so whimsical about cake stands that I just adore. They make everything seem so special. In the past 8 years since Ross and I have been together (and I laid eyes on those glorious stands) I've built a fairly substantial collection myself - Mil gave many of them to me as gifts, including my favorite, a clear glass vintage stand (pic below). Whenever I stumble upon a great cake stand my heart gets a flutter and I just want to squeal. Get yourself a cake stand or two... You'll be hooked!

Here are some of my favorite sites for cake stands for when you can't find vintage:
