One of the focal points of your wedding reception will be the wedding cake display. The cutting of the cake is also a fun photo opportunity, so most couples want the wedding cake to look spectacular. An important part of the display is the stand on which the cake rests. You will want to make sure that your wedding cake stand provides support for the cake and enhances its beauty at the same time.

If you already have a cake designer you can ask them for advice on how to display the cake that they are creating for you. Many will recommend a platform, or “plateau” cake stand since they can hold a large cake and also give the display an elegant touch.

If you are ordering a large cake consisting of several layers you will need a strong, stable cake stand to hold it. No one wants to take a chance that the cake will fall over during the reception! Plateau cake stands are very stable and can be ordered in different sizes and shapes to accommodate different styles of cakes. The most common shapes are round and square. Find out the diameter of the bottom layer of your wedding cake before you begin your search.

Plateau cake stands are also an elegant and traditional way to display a wedding cake. You can actually find antique wedding cake stands in this style, since they have been popular with brides for centuries. Plateau stands are available in many finishes including silver, brass and non-tarnish surfaces. You will be able to find simple elegant stands and others that are embossed and very ornate. Plan your choice of cake stand in conjunction with your cake to make sure that the stand enhances the beauty of your cake.

A plateau wedding cake stand is a great choice for many wedding cakes. You will have a beautiful wedding cake display and a stable wedding cake if you decide to go this route.
