Ceramic Cake Stand with Wooden Base

A ceramic cake stand on a wooden base — the difference between a cake put on a plate and a cake presented. Height is the entire trick: lifting a bake off the table separates it from everything else on the surface and makes it the thing people look at.

Ceramic top, so the surface is cool, easy to wipe and doesn't absorb butter or icing. The wooden base warms it up and stops it reading as formal china. It works for a birthday cake and equally as a raised stand for cheese, pastries or fruit on a laid table.

Why you'll love it

• Height changes everything — raises the bake above the table clutter.
• Ceramic surface — cool, wipeable, doesn't absorb icing or butter.
• Wooden base — warmer than all-china, less formal.
• Not only for cake — cheese, pastries, fruit, a table centrepiece.
