Portofino Round Cake Stand | Pampa Bay

An elevated stand for cakes, cupcakes, and pastries, in white porcelain with a delicate gold trim. Height is what a dessert needs — lifting a cake even a few inches changes it from food on a plate into the thing everyone is looking at. The gold trim is fine enough to read as a drawn line rather than a band, which keeps it elegant instead of ornate. It works with a birthday cake and it works with a rustic galette. It also earns the other fifty weeks of the year holding fruit, a stack of small plates on a bar, or whatever needs lifting off a crowded counter. Food safe, tarnish free, oven safe to 500°F, and dishwasher safe. Why Katie loves it: "A cake stand should not live in a cabinet eleven months a year. Leave it out with fruit on it and you will find a hundred uses."
