I just love old-fashioned cake stands - so I was beyond happy to find this pretty vintage-inspired glass beauty at World Market.
It was a bargain, too! The cost was actually $12.99, so a few dollars above my allotted $10 "Thrifty" budget, but I did use my 10 percent-off coupon - so pretty darn close! Isn't it pretty! Such a lovely, pale green color for Spring...
Cake stands and pedestals have so many uses beyond holding cakes - personally, I think almost any type of food looks prettier served on a cake stand...and they are wonderful for adding height to buffets and for displaying perfume bottles or your favorite beauty products (try placing one in a guest bathroom stacked with prettily packaged soaps). But for today, my cake stand is just being used the traditional way..to hold some delicious pastel meringues...
Happy Thursday!

oh, so pretty... but..., i was kind of hoping, when i saw the title of this post, that we were going to be able to see the cake you made for your mini mini you's birthday party on the pretty cake stand. Are you going to post any photos of the birthday cake? I have loved all of your cake photos in the past and would love to see this latest one too. I suppose i am getting to be a picky, nosey, noisy, fan : / i am sorry, i do not mean to be that. I just have loved and been inspired by your cake photos so much... I can live without it though... I am glad it was a fun party, and the ice cream theme really seemed to be a hit! :)

Where did you find the pastel meringues? or did you ake them?
I'm helping with a 90th birthday and we are using pastel colors.
