I’ve been on the hunt for a good cake stand for parties and hosting for a while. Believe it or not, I only own one very small wood cake stand which I bought for Bodhi’s first birthday party. I borrowed some from my friend Lisa for this year’s party and recently realized how much I love to use cake stands for candles, tablescapes and home decor besides using them on dessert tables and drink bars for parties.
The time has come to purchase a couple. I am all about white or wood cake stands because I think you can use them for every single event and they easily transition between different color palettes for parties. But I did throw in one BEAUTIFUL black option too. Here are my top 11 cake stands for any gathering. I should’ve stopped at 10, but couldn’t remove any of these beauties. The Anthropologie one is way out of my budget, but SO beautiful!
Square white cake stand ($29.99)
Flea Market cake stand ($32)
Marble and wood cake stand ($128)
Black cake stand with dome ($79.99)
Ribbed cake stand ($16.99)
White cake stand with wood-dipped bottom (just bought this one) ($11.98)
Mini yellow cake stand ($39.95)
Wood bark pedestal cake stand ($29.99)
Chalkboard cupcake stand ($22)
Pie crust stand ($24.99)
Le Creuset white cake stand ($49.95)
Which one is your fave?

I have a milk glass stand that I love with an open braided trim. It was my great-grandmothers. Can never have too many cake stands.
You are SO lucky Lani! I would love to have a milk glass one that was handed down. Nothing better than family heirlooms!
I have never used a cake stand – maybe I should start! Some great choices. I like the square one a lot (although would not work with a circle cake) and the wood one is super funky!
I love them for everything, but especially parties! I agree about the square one. Not ideal since it’s a little hard to get a square cake, but you could definitely make it work and square feels more like your style to me.
I have an awesome cake stand that doubles as a punch bowl (you just flip the cover over and set it on the cake stand). I believe you got it for us for our wedding! =) I like the ribbed one the best- can’t beat that price, either!
