After a number of taste tests and going through so many cake design ideas, you’ve finally crossed choosing the best cake off your Party Planning To-Do List. Congrats! Now comes another fun part, finding the perfect cake stand.

It is easy to find a cake stand, but more than the style, one more important thing to consider is its' functionality. Are you going for small desserts like cupcakes and donuts? Or a single layer cake? How about a multi-tiered large cake? Whatever you’re having, there’s surely a cake stand for it! Today we are bringing a few of our favorite cake ideas together and give you an idea on how you could present these cakes in style on our new cake stands.

Fleur de Lis and Geometric Cake Stands

If you are not a fan or heavy multiple-tiered cakes, then these stands are for you. These cake stand holders are perfect in accentuating small and medium cakes, as well as those sumptuous cupcakes that everyone can’t wait to get their hands on and eat.

These stylish Fleur de lis stands can accommodate smaller cakes which is ideal for birthday parties or a more intimate wedding -- an ongoing wedding trend this year. For a contemporary-themed event, a geometric cake stand will complement your dessert table. The metal base and clear glass top will be perfect for minimalist cakes, pastries, and other confection.
