Wooden cake stands - why we love them
There’s something warm and welcoming about natural wood. We love to use it in our home designs. Even if you don’t have wood floors or wooden accent walls, you can always introduce wood into your home without committing to a huge project. One way to do this is with wooden home décor. From intricate wall art to handcrafted wooden bowls, these pieces add beautiful depth and interest to your home. That’s one reason we love our handcrafted mango wood cake stands. Place a stand on your table or dessert counter and you instantly transform the space, adding a touch of natural elegance. And what’s not love about that?
We also enjoy wooden dessert stands because they complement so many other elements in a room, so they can be styled with ease.
Our cake pedestals are durable and sturdy, as we craft them using a wide base. As with any wood, you’ll want to keep the natural mango wood looking its best. This is easily done by occasionally applying mineral oil and beeswax. They work together to enhance the natural wood grain of the wood while providing a smooth, protective finish. Both mineral oil and beeswax are food safe.
What about portability? Unlike glass or ceramic cake stands, which may be heavy and fragile, our wood cake stand is lightweight and easily transported to a friend’s dessert party. What’s more, glass or stoneware cake stands are often more expensive than the wood ones.
Lastly, we love wooden cake stands because they are such versatile pieces. You can place yours on the kitchen island with fruit or use it to display your collection of potted herbs. Even if you haven’t baked a cake in a while or brought home a delicious pie from the bakery, there are so many ways to use a wooden cake stand.
In this blog, we feature our Brielle mango wood cake stand and present six ways to use it.
Put your cheese and fruit on a pedestal
Displaying different cheeses on a cake stand brings a raised presentation that adds a touch of elegance. You can go all out and cut the cheese into slices and chunks or simply use it as a lovely self-serve cheese and fruit platter.
Put a cloche on it
A glass cloche adds an elegant touch to this cheese and fruit display. It serves as a decorative element and is a practical way to keep food from exposure to dust, insects, and other things.
Adorn it with flowers
Need a centerpiece for your table? We topped the Brielle with a mix of white and blue faux flowers with greenery for an instant centerpiece. You can go all out for special occasions by adding fresh flowers, and on the Holidays, create a centerpiece using white pillars and greenery. Oh, the possibilities!
