Designer Cake Stands

So, you've baked a show-stopping Victoria sponge - now all you need is an eye-catching cake stand to display it on. Our collection of designer cake stands spans everything from Wedgwood's afternoon tea-worthy designs for multilayer plates to Alessi's clever foldable stands. Whether you're looking for a quintessential piece to compliment your existing tableware or an arresting piece of art that's like no other, you'll find options from culinary experts and interior-design maestros. Sometimes the hardest-to-impress guests drop over unannounced. But it's easy to surpass their expectations with an assortment of treats arranged on a painted porcelain cake stand.

Swirling florals and playful polka dots offer a vintage style, while bold colours and silver-plated finishes create an eye-catching display. Look out for scalloped edges and ribbed rims, too, that add a dash of detail and guard against sliding sponges. For those visitors who give advance warning, set a freshly iced cake atop a single-tier stand that keeps it fresh with a protective glass dome (and safe from early snackers). Looking for harmonious homeware? Choose a gold-rimmed style and match it with a metallic-lipped tea set. For added coordination, pick a designer wall plate with a complementary motif and hang it by the dining table.
