5 beautiful cake stands that take the cake.

If you have your cake and eat it too, what are you left with? A whole lot of pretty is what, so long as you own a fab cake stand.

You bakers may already have cake stands, but we promise that thse picks are worthy of a spot (or two!) in your collection. You don't even need to be a serious baker to treat yourself to one of these.

They make pretty displays out of anything from fruit to kiddo's art supplies, can be used as a pedestal for centerpieces, help set the mood with pillar candles, and can show off a collection like nothing you've ever seen before. Even if we're talking a collection of pipe cleaner sculptures.

So, go ahead. Take a stand. Ha. -Stacie

I'm over the moon for these modern-retro cake stands by Jansen+Co. They come in lots of colors and two sizes (small, $34; medium, $48). Watch out--you may want them all if you're like me. (h/t Design Sponge)

Black and white hobnail cake stand from Sweet and Sassy Supply

If you prefer the minimalism of black and white, check out this sassy version of the classic hobnail cake stand ($50). So glamourous, right?

Cool Mom Picks fell in love with this handmade cake stand set from Vessels + Wares back when we featured them in our holiday gift guide as a splurge for your favorite baker. ($400 for the set) They come in gorgeous colors perfect for your Easter or seder table and can be passed down for generations.

These fun ruffled tin cake stands have a rustic charm that's perfect for an outdoor gathering or summery fruit-themed birthday party (3 for $135).

If you're more of a modernist, I adore this wooden cake stand ($34) of cut out maple. It's not only a great price, it can be disassembled into three flat pieces for easy storage. Perfect for you city dwellers with limited kitchen space, but big cake-eating ambitions.
