How To Choose The Right Tiered Wedding Cake Stand
A wedding cake is a major part of most wedding celebrations, so it’s no surprise that you’ve chosen to include an amazing cake at your own reception. Wedding cake stands are an important part of the cake – even though you might not have given them much thought yet. Here are some tips for choosing the right stand for your special day.
Your tiered wedding cake stand will play a big role in the presentation of your wedding cake. When looking for a stand you need to make sure you find one that is the correct size, about an inch larger around the edges of your cake. The stand must also be able to support the cake and multiple tiers. Talk to your baker to find out what he or she recommends – most experienced bakers have had their share of successes and probably witnessed disasters, too! Since you want your cake to be perfect, you need to choose from the best wedding cake stands available.
Once you’ve got the technical aspects figured out, it’s time to work on style. Some stands are more decorative than others. You can find a stand that will fit the theme of your wedding, if you spend just a little time looking for what you want. A more basic stand will bring out the best in a fancier more modern cake where as a flashier stand will go well with a more traditional cake.
Transportation and Cleaning
Most tiered cake stands are dishwasher safe and are as easy to clean as single platform stands. They can also be taken apart for easy transportation and storage. You may consider renting a stand, or you might think about purchasing a very nice stand to pass on as an heirloom later.
Buying Wedding Cake Stands
Designers have made a wide variety of stands for tiered wedding cakes available, so it’s no surprise that you’ll find there are plenty to choose from. Your baker may offer a selection of stands to accompany the cake, or you might want to buy a special stand on your own. You’ll find the best selection and prices online – so happy hunting! And, congratulations on your upcoming marriage.
