Plastic cake stands come in a huge variety of configurations. They are usually clear in color, so they blend in easily with any color scheme. Plastic is a very durable, stable material, so using a plastic cake stand is perfect for safely holding your carefully baked, frosted and designed cake. What’s more, because they are not usually overly formal looking, you can use them time and time again for bridal showers, weddings, birthday parties, retirement parties, and any other event or occasion that you will be having and displaying a beautiful cake.

Styles Of Plastic Cake Stands

How you display your cake really boils down to the type of cake you have (single layer, or multi-tiered? Elaborately designed, or elegantly simple?) and the style of decor you are using for your event. Other than the typical, standard cake stand, there are several tried and true styles of plastic cake stands that will never let you down.

Pillar Style Plastic Cake Stands

Usually, pillar style plastic cake stands use cake plates mounted on pillars to support and display each layer of your cake. The pillars can be of varying heights, so you can add as much height to your cake display as you can get away with. Many people decorate the pillars themselves, with small wire-strung lights or strings of colorful blooms.

Tower Style Plastic Cake Stands

If you want to add height to your cake but don’t want the look of pillars, which can look very formal, tower style plastic cake stands are a great option. These stands consist of a single column in the center of the stand, and cake plates surround the column. You get the impressive height, but with a more modern, clean look. If you want to add decorations, such as flowers and other adornments, you can accomplish this easily with a tower style stand.

Grouped Plastic Cake Stands

You can use single plastic cake stands in a grouping to create an interesting, appealing display. Simply place each layer of the cake on a different stand, and arrange them on the table. It’s a good idea to use stands of varying heights to add visual interest. This also gives you more room for creativity, as you can group them in a spiral formation or really anything you can think of.

Floating Plastic Cake Stands

These have become extremely popular, as they are very eye-catching and unique. If you have ever seen floating CD towers or bookshelves, where it looks as if the CD’s or books are floating in place, then you get the idea behind a floating cake stand. They have a base at the back, hidden behind the cake, and the cake plates come out from this base to hold each individual layer. This makes it look as if each layer is floating in mid-air… turning your cake into a modern conversation piece!
