As a continuation from the November 2016 DoTM side discussion (from the LA board)…
Here’s America’s Test Kitchen’s previous winner (don’t know if the model number is right, but…):
Not sure if I want a cast-iron base, though, just given how easily it might rust in case it gets wet. The original price is ~$75, although not too horribly priced from Amazon.com.
Here’s a new winner from a recent test:
Makes me think of that place that closed down on Abbott Kinney with hundreds of beautiful cake stands! It always felt soo random!
May I add that if memory serves me correctly, I’ve never made a cake!
Whoa! Now’s the time!
I’m thinking of making this for a holiday party:
Oh yes, and the rubber chickens in a bin outside, @aaqjr! They did have some gems in there, but I thought if there was a mild earthquake while I was browsing, I’d be a goner.
@catholiver I rarely make cakes, but I’ve always had great success with this one - just in case you want to give it a go: Double Chocolate Layer Cake Recipe
The Winco cake stand seems like it’s the winner to me, @paranoidgarliclover. The cast iron seems like it’d be too cumbersome.
All those milk glass cake stands are gorgeous, @TheCookie. I also have my eye in this one too: AHeirloom Walnut Cake Stand with Corian for Desserts on Food52
Great. I love Food52. I gave my cousin a holiday gift card last year.
Wow, you’re a thoughtful gift-giver, @TheCookie!
