Now that you have a good idea of what your wedding cake will be like, finding a great cake stand will put the finishing touches on your wedding cake display. You can ask your cake designer for some advice, or take a look at the thousands of options available online to get some ideas.

As you look at cake stands, keep in mind the size and shape of your wedding cake. It’s helpful to know the measurements of the layers that will rest on a cake stand. If you are planning a traditional tiered cake, then just have the dimensions of the bottom layer at your fingertips. If your cake has a lot of layers, you will also need to make sure that the cake stand you select is designed to hold that much weight.

For a traditional cake, you may want to consider a beautiful platform cake stand. These stands, sometimes made of silver, are very elegant and will add a classic touch to your wedding cake display. Another good choice for a simple or traditional cake is the pedestal cake stand. The come in many styles and are often made from china, ceramic or glass. Either a pedestal or a platform cake stand will show off your wedding cake without drawing attention away from it.

For classic tiered cakes you can find many choices of 4 tier and 3 tier wedding cake stands to display your cake. If you are looking for something more dramatic then you could look at the cascading cake stands. These consist of up to ten separate tiers all cascading on different levels. The floating cake stand also provides a very dramatic effect – making the different layers of cake appear as if they are floating in the air.
