A small stage for something lovely
How big is it, and will a whole cake fit?
The stand measures approximately 12 cm across and 17.5 cm high with the dome in position, holding 500 ml. It is a mini cake display stand, sized for a single slice, one or two cupcakes, macarons, truffles or a small dessert, rather than a whole layer cake.
What is included?
Two pieces: one footed glass stand and one removable domed lid with a moulded glass knob. There is nothing else to it and nothing to assemble.
Does the glass dome keep things covered?
The cake dome rests over the stand and helps protect what is underneath from dust while keeping the decoration clearly visible. It lifts straight off rather than sealing, so treat it as a cover rather than an airtight container.
Can I use the stand without the dome?
Yes. The dome lifts away completely by its knob, so the pedestal works as an open cake stand while you are serving and goes back under cover in between. Most people use it both ways over the course of an afternoon.
Will it fit in the fridge?
It should. At around 12 cm across it takes very little shelf space, so strawberries or a portion of dessert can go under the glass dome and straight into the fridge, then come back out ready to serve.
Is the pedestal stable?
The turned stem, rounded centre detail and broad circular foot are shaped to keep the stand balanced when the dome is lifted on and off. Lift by the knob rather than the side of the dome and the base stays where it is.
Can I use it for something other than food?
Yes. The same glass cloche works as a small display dome for jewellery, stones, shells, dried flowers, a short candle or a seasonal arrangement, on a console table, mantelpiece or dressing table.
Is it suitable for an afternoon tea or a celebration table?
It suits both. A covered stand of macarons, petit fours or handmade chocolates reads as a centrepiece rather than a plate pushed to one side, which is why the same piece is used on dessert counters and in cafés as well as at home.
