Top 5: Cake stands
1A semblance of wealth is better than none
Sick of presenting your baked bizz-nizz on old boots? A showy old cake stand needn’t cost an arm and a leg. These beauts will make your bodged packet brownies look spectacular, and they all cost £15 or less.
1. Pink spotty two-tier stand, Argos
(www.argos.co.uk)
£12.99

Even amounts of kinky kitchen and pretty ballerina, we love it.
2. Small/ large glass cake stand, Lakeland
(www.lakeland.co.uk)
£6.49/ £7.49
Does the job, for half the price of the other four.
3. Fifties-style glass cake stand, Notonthehighstreet.com
(www.notonthehighstreet.com)
£12.99

The glass equivalent of a doily, we almost certainly made our parents bin one of these a few years ago. Now, we want three.
4. Cream lace three-tier ceramic stand, Verynice2
(www.verynice2.com)
£14.99
Lace gloves obligatory, this one’s for those who mean business when they boil a kettle. Three tiers make it impressive enough to woo in-laws, friends and lovers; but it’s just as fun to get it out when dining alone.
5. Blue fluted stand, John Lewis
(www.johnlewis.com)
£15

Who says the Gobbler tribe can’t afford to mix with them wot matter? This one looks grand when smothered with (reduced) Waitrose goodies.

For max thriftyness, car boot sales, charity shops and jumble sales often have these. TOP TIP, use a disposable paper doyley, not only are they pretty but they stop the cake from sticking to the stand, making serving easier.
