Choose The Perfect Cake Stands

A Complete Cake Stand Selection Guide

Without a doubt, cake stands significantly enhance the overall display at an event. It plays an important role in providing support to a tiered cake with the added benefit of the decorative element. However, choosing a suitable cake and cupcake stand is not a piece of cake. A cake display stand should make the cake or any other food item placed on it look decent while also fulfilling its intended purpose. While selecting a cake plate stand there are many factors to consider such as the size of the cake stand, weight of the cake, theme of the event, design of the cake, and cake plate material. All these factors impact the overall look of the cake centerpiece. To help you pick the ideal cake stand that ticks all the boxes and is perfect for your event, we have gathered some important points for you to consider that will make it easier to choose a stellar cake stand for your event.

1). Choose an Appropriate Size of the Cake Stand

The most important factor to consider before you go out looking for a cake stand is to know the correct size of the cake. Though cake stands are multi-purpose and can be used to place almost anything, people usually look for cake stands to exhibit the cake at an event. If you are planning to use the cake stand for either a wedding cake or a birthday cake, determining the size of the base of the cake is crucial. All cake artists use cake boards beneath their cakes. Talk to your cake decorator and find out what size of cake board they will be using to get a precise idea. Cake stands that have smaller cake plates than the cake board are not recommended as it will not provide a secure base and the cake might tip over to one side and ruin your event.

Preferably, if your cake is simple with little detailing on the edges, the size of the bottom tier cake board should be the same as the size of the cake plate. A perfect fit will give your cake the needed finishing touch and make it magnificent to look at. However, if you are unable to find a wedding cake stand that fits your tiered cake perfectly, then opt for one that is slightly bigger than the bottom tier cake board. Choosing a slightly bigger cake plate will help you place your cake efficiently and securely.

Moreover, if your cake has embellishments that need to be put on at the event venue such as succulents or you wish to add flower arrangements on cake stands, then a bigger sized cake plate will be more suitable to provide a ledge for your decorations.

However, if you plan to use the cake and cupcake stand for placing finger foods or dessert cups, consider the quantity and size of the items you need to place on the stand and choose accordingly. Most cupcake stands come with an estimated capacity of the stand which will help you determine the number of cupcakes it can hold.
