Fightin’ Femmes: Unmasking Female Superheroes with Author Mike Madrid

Thought I'd share some of my cake stand collection. The first pic is a compilation of cake stands displayed in my dining area; I built a cantilevered glass shelf backed with mirrors around the perimeter of the room for display and added some those small white Christmas light for added effect. The second photo during a cleaning session when I had a bunch of the cake stands gathered on the dining table.

thanks strawberry! Added a couple of raspberry torte pics just for you!
& TY for the loves strawberry and officialfuel!
Magnificent collection!!! Glorious display on table! Dangerous torte! Is there a recipe, too? : )
TY for the love mustangtony :
TY miKKO : not really a recipe for the torte; just a compilation of butter cake brushed with melted preserves & raspberry liqueur, raspberry mousse, topping of shaved bittersweet chocolate, and then frozen long enough to set the mousse.
Thank you very much, TallCakes!!! Looks and sounds marvelous. Yum. : )
you're very welcome miKKo :
you're welcome bellin : don't have any cake right now but do have a fresh batch of mandarin sherbet ;)
certainly; I need to work on that added shelving and get back to updating my website.
What an impressive and beautiful display of cake plates, TallCakes! All I can say is...WOW!!! It is wonderful to have a collection of things you love and to have the ability to showcase it in such a creative way as you have. We are in the process of replacing the cabinets in our dining room to make room for our sandwich glass collection. I can only hope it turns out half as nice looking as yours display does!
many thanks tablefullofmemories! the collage image represents about 45 linear feet of glass shelving around my dining area. Right now it's crowded with more than 80 cake stands.
