Alice loves layer cake as much as I love our signature "layer cake" look: opulent vintage china plates stack up in a cupcake stand with a different color on each of 4 dramatically towering tiers. Each tier showcases incredible pieces of collectible china in a bright rainbow confection.
***This listing is for the 1 4-tiered stand you see in the foreground of the first photo, not all 3 stands. The other 2 will be listed soon...!***
In true Mad Hatter style, a tea cup sits on top, ready to fill with mints, nuts, candy, cake pops or fresh flowers. All pieces are European china (3 tiers from England;1 from Bavaria/Germany). They do make the best! I love the raised gold details on the blue plate with its romantic courting scene...
Pure old-fashioned charm meets modern entertaining in this striking, handmade centerpiece for all occasions. Whether for a tea party, bridal shower luncheon, wedding, baby shower, birthday or family celebration, this serving tray makes everyone feel right at home. Another idea: Add your best jewelry in the bedroom or bath so you can admire it anytime.
This spectacular stand with ornate patterns and rich gold details is actually many in 1: Use with any 2 or 3 tiers in a mini-stand for everyday use.
You'll never want to put it away... And why should you?
~*~ Our stands were featured on Preston Bailey's Entertaining blog, Style Me Pretty, Romantic Homes magazine & Blake Lively's Preserve website!

Beautiful to admire, a pleasure to use...
This is one-of-a-kind High Tea for Alice stand:
No. 274, Alice Loves Layer Cake #3
Alice couldn't remember the last time she had a nice, thick slice of layer cake. She had spent the good part of the last hour pondering it with no concrete recollection. "Cook, do you remember the last time you made that 4-tier layer cake with vanilla buttercream icing?" Alice asked sweetly. Cook eyed her expression. "Alice, are you dropping hints? she asked. "Maybe just one..." Alice said. "But I can help with the frosting!"
