How a Wedding Cake Stand Affects Your Cake

One of the most overlooked aspects of a wedding cake choice is the cake stand that it will be perched on when sitting on the table at your reception.   Many cakes are constructed to use elaborate cake stands that compliment the whole cake design while others are basic and fit neatly on a simple serving platter or plate.  Regardless of your choice, be sure that it compliments your cake and doesn’t detract from it or make the cutting ritual too uncomfortable.

Couples who love style and a big show will surely have wedding cakes created to take over the entire table and draw a great deal of attention to them.   These elaborate cake creations often use fancy multi-tiered cake stands that mirror the cake’s decor in color and design.  There are some cake designs that use multiple platforms while a few even utilize a nice fountain or similar extravagance to improve the overall presentation.  While these displays can be hugely impressive, they are usually costly and cumbersome.

A great many modern wedding cakes use far simpler presentation methods and the cake stands they employ are usually as simple and as a basic as a serving platter or cake plate.   This option may seem  boring in comparison to the multi-tiered village that some more elaborate cakes tend to resemble, but it is often a good thing when a cake stand refrains from detraction from the well-designed wedding cake itself.  If your cake itself is pretty and tastefully decorated, sometimes a simpler cake stand is appropriate.

If your cake has many tiers, you’ll likely want cake stands that go in between the layers.  These can range from basic plastic prop-up sticks to much more involved stands with carved legs and designs on the surface.

What you choose to display and use to prop up the wedding cake is a personal choice in the wedding planning so take your time to choose how much the presentation will center on the stand itself.  Maybe you leave it up to the bakery to decide but either way, there are numerous ways a wedding cake stand can affect the presentation and reception of wedding cakes.

Summer Job??

Hi, im 14 years old and this summer vacation i really want to earn some money about $300+. I had an idea since there is a construction site beside my house i was thinking of putting a stand selling cake, drinks, snacks etc. Any tips of how to earn more money and making more profit or anything else you would think is helpful. thanks.

Here is a short list of summer jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a “poser” who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. “Posers” carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor’s equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there’s a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer’s cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant — often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner’s experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

Good luck!

In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. Those days are long gone! But Fear Not! Click Here For Help
