What is the popular cake stand?
Any type of multi-tiered shelf can be called a cake stand. Etagere means “shelf” in French and consists of a metal frame that holds the plates or trays on the different levels. Alternatively, they are connected in the middle by a rod. In the traditional etagere, the levels become smaller and smaller towards the top. Even in the Baroque period, a cake stand was part of every celebration. The lid of the cake stand has a handle or a button so that you can easily place it anywhere you want.
When friends came to visit, the cake stand was often placed on the coffee table and served as a serving plate for sweets, cakes and fruit. Even today, no English tea party would be complete without sandwiches and pastries on the cake stand. In France, too, the etagere is a popular place to store cheese and pies.
Cake stand these days
Cake stands can be of any height, made of any material (glass, metal, wood, etc.) and painted in any color (white, silver, etc.). In addition, the beautiful floors can be decorated in different ways. Nowadays, the etagere has many new uses: it can hold keys, cell phones and other small items, it can also serve as a decorative light source when decorated with tea lights. If you have an eye for gardening, you can decorate your cake stand with small flower pots and vases to visually enhance it.
