The Portuguese cake stand above fits in well with my white dish theme.  It makes for a very neutral table so your food can take center stage.  I also use cake stands for sandwiches and scones when preparing a formal tea.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Thrift stores are a terrific place to find some stellar cake stands with or without domes.  The one above was less than $5 and I use it all the time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thriftingwonderland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/38413-97b16e_47e8a7a8274e44eb80c2b5b938a5dc67mv2_d_3024_4032_s_4_2.jpg?w=350\"> <\/p>\n<p>Another good option is a crystal cake stand.  This particular one is a Mikassa.  I buy Mikassa crystal whenever I see it as it&#8217;s well made, lasts a long time, and is beautiful.  Again under $5.  You&#8217;re probably beginning to sense a theme here.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thriftingwonderland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5b6cd-97b16e_3559c3feac4347f5ba511c763ea987b1mv2_d_3024_4032_s_4_2.jpg?w=350\"> <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it&#8217;s fun to buy something more colorful especially if it fits in with your seasonal colors.  This cake plate has a stylized Santa and works really well for a casual Christmas buffet.  This one was about $3 purchased after Christmas at a Thrift shop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Next time you want to put out a cake for company, a family evening, or afternoon tea try this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thriftingwonderland.com\/recipes\">carrot cake recipe<\/a>.
