Why are there different sizes in Cake Stands?
Cake Stands were produced in different sizes for different uses. The largest Cake Stands made were produced for bakery store windows to display cakes or pies, or for household use, again to keep cakes and pies. The medium size cake stands (7 to 9) were made to serve cookies, squares or tarts. The small cake stands (4 to 5) were part of Childrens Glass sets. On the formally set dining table graduating cake stands were stacked for serving desserts, graduating up in size from largest to smallest. Customers have been using the Childs Cake Stand as a top for a graduating stack, they are popular for chocolates, mints or truffles. Flower arrangements can be used for separating the desserts when stacking 3 or 4 high.
