Wedding Cake Pedestal  

When it comes to an event where a cake is much more than just a desert offering, you want to find a fine wedding cake pedestal to properly highlight the creation you have chosen. Either there are many varieties of wedding pedestals, or it is a fact almost any pedestal can be used for a wedding party. Tastes vary greatly, as do the selections. Whether you want a single platter, an arranged set, or a multi-tiered presentation, you will surely find something to suit every taste and budget, including single-use Styrofoam. 

The wedding cake may very well be the final touch to bring everything together. They can be designed to match a theme, or the colors in the bride's party. They also will probably be a part of many photos, which is something to consider when setting up the display. Cakes can be made to order to reflect the interests of the bride and groom individually, or be a symbol of their new shared lives. These pedestals can also be a reminder of that special day. In that light, it might be of interest to consider having one that might include names, or initials, and the blessed date added to the pedestal or cake platform. 

There are many style designs available for wedding cakes including, sometimes large, grouped arrangements using separate pedestals; tiered cakes with bases and separators open to almost any creative addition;  towers with a center piece to hold each layer together; or a perceived floating of the cake layers with a central base and separate platforms for each cake. 

Another option that will leave a wide berth for fitting into most displays would be the choices available in the line of glass cake pedestals. An elegant choice for a very reasonable price would be any of the offerings from Mosser Glass. This would include the "Crystal Cup Cake Stand" with a 6" round top that stands 5 1/2". They also have three colors available in a 9" Pedestal Cake Plate with a 7 1/4 " pedestal. These are made of "flint glass", also known as "Depression-Glass." The colors are Ruby Red, Cobalt Blue, or Jadeite, any of which would bring a distinctive touch to a wedding. These cake pedestals should be found for around $50. A few other glass cake pedestals to consider here would include Crystal Clear Industry's, lead-free crystal, '11" Pedestal Cake Plate' which is raised 5" and offers a very elegant design. If you desire an heirloom to take home after the ceremony, consider the hand blown Juliska's "Isabella" or "Amalia" "Large Cake Pedestal Base & Dome Sets." The domes, plates and pedestals are all sold separately and feature the uniqueness of each piece which is individually signed. These sets are available at Juliska's website for $495, as of this writing. 

If you like the "Old World" look, see the offerings from the GG Collection. One is the "Covered Cake Pedestal" which has a removable 14 1/2 inch ceramic plate with a 9" hand-blown dome that all sits on a 16 inch hand-finished, aluminum base, for around $250. For another example, they have the wrought iron and marble "Province Cake Platter" that has a large 14" platter on a 12" base for less than $150. Outstanding craftsmanship will truly highlight any wedding cake placed on them. These sets vary in price depending on the retailer you choose.

A wedding cake pedestal can be made of almost any material, from single-use Styrofoam, to finely crafted acrylic, ceramics, glass, crystal, and metals. The price ranges are as extensive as your choices. Consider the cherished memories involved in that special day. The choice is yours and it is only limited by your imagination and budget.
