Can we talk about how Potluck Studios hates me? I have been lusting over this Flirt Ruffle cake stand for some time now, and since we recently switched our cake from square to round I can actually get one!! Are you ready to see the object of my desire?
It’s the right size, yes! It’s the perfect look, yes! It’s available in stores… no. 
I cannot find this stand ANYWHERE. I’ve Googled every possible way I can think of to find this guy and I can’t. I found several online stores, but each is either sold out or does not let me buy this beloved cake stand. One is in Canada and I can’t seem to get to the checkout stage of the website. I’ve contact customer service, written emails and never heard a word back. Then, I found a random little store in Maine that will order it for you. Yay! Oh wait, they’re closed until April 15th. My wedding is in April, so that just won’t work. Then, I found another random little store in California and couldn’t get the cake stand to show up in my shopping cart. I called the store to see if I could place the order over the phone and nope, I can’t, and they can’t tell me how to fix the online issue. I’m willing to spend the cash… why is no one willing to sell it to me?? Grr!!!
You’re probably yelling at me asking why I’m not just calling up Potluck Studios to order from them, and well that’s because they only sell to retailers, not individuals like me. The problem is that I’m the type of girl that just cannot let things go. Once I have my mind made up about something I want, I get tenacious about it and will not stop until I get it. Although with this lovely item I’m really starting to lose hope and I’m also starting to lose time. Our wedding is 2 months away and I don’t have a cake stand yet. Sadly there is no happy ending with this one yet… I just wanted to share my frustration with you all.
Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else dealt with wedding frustration like this? What was your experience like?
How frustrating! Can you have an Etsy seller make one similar for you?
Sorry, this website. http://www.blissbathbody.com/products/Ruffle-Ceramic-Cake-stand-M-Made-by-Potluck_1252_244162.html?mode=&sid=&mid=
It’s not white, but someone on classifieds is selling something similar: http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/topic/metallic-silver-ruffled-cake-pedestal-stand
So you have called all 14 retailers on their site?
Have you checked eBay? Will you consider similar ones? I’ve seen similar ones on eBay, at Marshalls, etc.
Try Milk Glass Cake Stands.
Have you already called Bliss, Bath & Body?

You could also call potluck studios, tell them your problem and they may be able to tell you a retailer you CAN order it from
wow, everyone’s so quick and helpful with the suggestions! how frustrating, froyo, i hope you prevail!
I’ve seen similar things at Marshalls/TJ Maxx. I actually have one that’s nearly identical from C&B, though I got on sale this summer 
I would definitely check the outlets though!
I fell in love with something that was really marked up on retail sites, so I called the wholesaler and explained that I really wanted the item for my wedding, and they were super nice and agreed to sell it to me directly. I think you should call and explain the situation! Wholesalers generally don’t want to waste time and shipping, but they still want their product out there. Best of luck!
I fell in love with these alumninum letters from Bombay Duck for our cake table but they don’t ship to America. I was so frustrated and searched everywhereI contacted the company and they wouldn’t help me out at all. I finally asked a friend in London to ship it for me.
Ugh, that’s so annoying! I hope one of the savvy Weddingbee readers can point you in the right direction!
Ugh, so frustrating!!! Hope you’re able to get that cake stand!
your going to hate me but I JUST saw that exact cake stand the other day….and I dont remember where!! GRRR
What’s the store in Canada? Maybe I can help you out? PM me if you want 
@Juli: Yep, I can’t get it to show up in my cart and I can’t order it over the phone.
@sunnydebs: That’s super cute, but not big enough
@Gerbera: I called Bliss, Bath and Body and the retailers on their site. So far nothing. I’ve had several people say they’ll call me back, but no one has.
@avhill: Good suggestion!
@mcballer2: That one is very cute and the right size!! I might just have to go with that one!
@Osakagrl: Aww, if you think of it, let me know!!
@smilez: The store is in Collingwood, Ontario, the website is http://www.cottagechicshop.com/chicshop/index.php?cPath=22_37
Have you tried pulling the “bride card” with either potluck studios or one of the stores to see if they will order one for you and send it to you?
I’m actually heading to University Village in Seattle this afternoon. Making mental note to pop into Ravenna Gardens to see if they have pretty cake stand for Miss FroYo

I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
