Cake Stand Recommendations for Two Tiered Cakes that serve 25-41 Guests
Meredith has compiled her favorite cake stands for two tiered cakes that serve 25-41 guests!
What Size Cake Stand Should I Look For a Two-Tiered or Single-Tiered Cake ?
Look for a stand that is a minimum of 12” diameter (13” is better).
You can send me a link to a stand you love prior to making a purchase and I can look at the dimensions.
Once you’ve purchased a stand you can leave it at the venue.
I prefer a stand that is completely flat and has NO lip or ledge on top.
Here’s an example of a stand that has a lip or ledge that WOULD NOT work: https://anestedhome.com/products/vintage-cake-stand?srsltid=AfmBOor9jA9ZYrMrHdRWGSfk-o-DnEOlF5FhVOlSq7lu52mXhVqKbedI

Q: Do You Have Any Suggestions on the MOST Important Details to Look For?
Look for a stand that has a sturdy base that is very wide.
Think about the guests that are partying and may bump the cake table!
You don’t want something that will tip easily.
Q: What Cake Stand Are Not Recommended?
Here’s an example of a stand that I DO NOT LIKE, it has a very small base and would tip over easily.
Q: What Type of ‘board’ or “circle” will the Cake be on?
Cakes are on a drum which is a thick professionally covered, elegant white (unless your order specifies a colored cake board, which is special order and would have been discussed in your pricing guide)
This board is 3-5” wider than the base diameter of the cake. This is a standard industry practice. Using a drum allows space for our fingers to pick up the cake and move the cake around without putting our fingers (accidently) in the frosting.
