If Grandmama is going to spend hours in the kitchen measuring, baking, and frosting, you better believe she is going to display her confection on a pretty cake stand—especially if said from-scratch cake is destined for a church potluck or a family gathering. Such beauty, after all, isn't meant to be hidden away under a makeshift tent of foil or clouded plastic. Here, we've rounded up ten vintage-inspired cake stands that make every-day desserts feel worthy of celebration.
