The Many Choices Of Wedding Cake Stand

The cake is one of the most important things in the wedding, in fact nearly as important as the bridal gown or the decorations at the wedding cake gallery. The wedding cake stand on which the cake is displayed has its own significance as well. After all, it gives a chance to the wedding cakes to 'stand out in the crowd of guests'. At the time of checking out the varying wedding cake prices, you must also select a wedding cake stand that suits your budget.

Remember, the cutting of the wedding cake is going to be one of the most treasured moments of your life and you surely wouldn't want it spoilt by any untoward incident with the cake stand. Your cake stand has to hold the cake well, as all eyes are glued upon it when the couple-to-be cut the cake. It has to be strong and sturdy yet attractive to look at.

Take A Pick

There are number of wedding cake stands that you can pick from. Here are some popular ones:

• A round or square wedding cake stand is ideal for a traditional three -tiered wedding cake. It comes in the form of a flat cake plate; a plateau stand which is flat or raised uniformly off the table; or a pedestal which is raised in the center by some sort of pillar stand.
• Cake stands come in a variety of materials such as glass, acrylic, ceramic, china and metal. Single-use Styrofoam cake stands are highly popular nowadays.
• A wedding cake stand can be arranged for a group of cakes. With it, each cake has its own different stand. These stands are kept on various heights allowing you to display the wedding cakes in different ways such as stair-step format, a rounded appearance, in a cascading appearance, or in an asymmetrical group. This type of cake display goes well with both traditional and non-traditional cakes.
• Wedding cake stands with pillars are by far the most popular. Here the cake uses pillars and bases in between the tiers. The pillar can be kept short or tall, according to personal preference. Candles, fountains and theme décor can enhance the look of a cake.
• A cake stand with a single column in the middle of the cake stand is also a good idea. It gives the cake an appearance of a majestic tower. It also gives you the freedom to decorate the cake with further wedding decorations.
• A different type of wedding cake stand is the floating stand. This cake stand is mostly used with three-tiered cakes.

You can keep your cake stand simple or ornate. You could also make your own cake stand as well by using an heirloom cake plate or some thing else to suit the theme of your wedding. Like for a beach wedding, a shell shaped cake stand could be a something unique. It is a good idea to check with the bakery when you have ordered for your wedding cake about the right wedding cake stand. They are the best people to ask for suggestions.
