"cakestand" news and stories

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. It seems like every baking site is posting about heart shaped cake pans, or some other heart shaped dessert maker. And I appreciate that to no end. I have no problem admitting the level of my baking geeky-ness. But have you spent any time thinking about how you are going to present your dessert?

I stumbled across this beautiful cake stand at the Sur La Table website.
This is a perfect presentation for your special dessert. You can keep up the theme, build an atmosphere and sustain the mood. Another plus to this cake stand is that it is very reasonably priced at $14.95.

I don't know about you, but I can't resist a red, heart embossed cake stand. It'll be the perfect platform for the special dessert in store for my baby later this week.

Talking of egg cups, good ol' Nigella has added one to her range of kitchen ware. It costs just £4.50 and incorporates a plate for soldiers too! Available in two colours - Duck Egg Blue (ho ho) and Cream.

On her website she writes "Sometimes things just seem right: I wanted an egg cup with a quiet organic design as simple as an egg’s. A small, plain cup sits in an ovoid saucer, with space for a small mound of salt and a few buttered fingers. I feel it’s important to be made happy at the start of the day, and this does it for me."

Also new to the range are a Hug Mug (£14.50) and a cake stand (£15). In a similar vein to the egg cup the hug mug it incorporates a saucer for holding biscuits, cake or bread. The cake stand is not going to be available until May though.

Oh, those crazy college kids. Always partying, getting busted for their shenanigans. Like eating cake! Can you believe it?

Yep. A group of students at George Washington University got busted by campus security after advertising a beer party on Facebook.com. It was a setup, though - the organizers had suspected that their Facebook.com-advertised parties were getting unwelcome clicks from University officials. But when security arrived at this particular party, the revelers were doing cake stands and playing cake pong with cupcakes decorated with the word "BEER." Classic.
