I dragged Mr. Milkshake to Snohomish, a small town boasting antique stores near Seattle, one weekend in the wicked heat to check out their antique stores for random bits of furniture. I walked away at the end of the day with a sweet vintage hat and a rekindled desire to use a milk glass cake stand at our wedding. Most varieties are white, but it might be neat to nurture my passion for complementary colors by featuring an orange mango cake on a 9″ blue stand. A white one can certainly double as very classic, functional, collectible…. and while the white is very understatedly simple, I am in love with their undersides. Here’s a smattering from a few I’m following on ebay.


I finally ended up buying this one, above and it came in the mail yesterday! So in lieu of the traditional tiered cake, we’re going to have a whipping cream mango cake atop this lovely collectible.

How are you planning on displaying your cake?
That cake stand is absolutely gorgeous. My mother has a milk glass cake stand that she arranges flowers and candles on year round and now i want to go try to find one too!
