Ok, it’s kind of funny I’m reblogging this, since I no longer eat sugar. But this is the first cake stand to make me rethink the form, dislodging for the first time the archetypal grandma’s cake stand. You know the ones, made of faceted milk glass or ruby glass, the pedestal elevating the treat for all to see. The faceted mass here offsets the cheesecake’s cylinder (varying in texture and color but not in silhouette) and for the first time makes me consider what it would be to create a volume that offsets the volume of the cake luxuriating above.
