loved this!

I was looking for a basically inexpensive and sturdy cake dome and after reading the reviews, decided to purchase this. I must say I was quite surprised when it arrived!! Very sturdy glass, not cheaply made at all and it doubles as a punch bowl. I was highly satisfied with the product and the price and when compared with the quality-it was a steal!

Great Product

This is a really great Cake stand with dome included and it is heavy duty and looks absolutely beautiful and when I'm not using for cakes I use it as a fruit bowl and punch bowl so it is a multi use product and I would highly recommend this product.

THE PRODUCT IS GREAT I ORDERED 5 AT A TIME THE FIRST DEL. NOT ONE CAME UNBROKEN THE SECOND CAME UN-BROKEN BUT THAT WAS BY ACCIDENT THE PACKING WAS STILL BAD. THIS STILL CAN BE USED AS A BOWL.

This is my first domed cake stand. I got it because I wanted to display a round layer cake for Christmas, and didn't want plastic wrap to mess up the frosting. 2 stacked nine-inch cakes fit perfectly under the dome if you're careful as you put it on - there's not a lot of extra room! I think 8-inch cakes would be easier, but the 9-inch ones DO fit if you center them exactly on the platter. The glass is just the right thickness - nice and sturdy without being bulky. I'm not worried about chipping the rim when I put the dome on. The knob handle gives you a good grasp of the lid, and the ridged pattern around the base is beautiful and retro. I can't speak to any breakage during shipping, because I got mine at a store... but you sure can't beat the price! I got mine for $9.99, and it looks and feels like a much more expensive product. Gorgeous. I expect it to last many years. I'd buy it for friends and family in a heartbeat. The punch bowl it makes seems well balanced and stable, although I haven't actually used it for that yet. It does make a relatively small punch bowl, but you can always refill it! Don't limit yourself though - I imagine you can also use the "punch bowl" feature to hold trifle, salads, etc. I love this cake stand and wouldn't trade it for any other. Highly recommend!

Excellent quality for the money

I bought this cake dome at least 2 years ago and am still using it today. It is very sturdy and the glass quality is pretty good, especially considering the price. I paid something like $15 at the time which is an incredible deal.

Lovely simple cake stand

Like most people who are occasional bakers, I made do with putting my layer cake experiments on a regular platter covered with 3-4 sheets of plastic wrap. OK for just the family, but a complete embarrassment in front of guests.

I'd seen some lovely cake stands at Crate & Barrel and Martha Stewart, but I didn't want to spend $50+ for something I wouldn't use that often, plus most I'd seen didn't come with a cover. When I saw this one on Amazon, a small investment of $15 for a stand and dome seemed just about right. I wasn't expecting much, but when it came in the mail I was very impressed.

The set is very simple -- no filagrees, etchings or geegaws attached -- but heavy and well made. The glass is thick enough that I don't fear breakage in handling or cleaning. The stand itself slopes up on the edge, so the dome fits snugly and will not slide off. The set is large, and will accomodate an 11" cake and it would not be a great choice for travelling, due to its size and weight. But I love the retro look (just like at my local bakery) and will sit proudly on my kitchen counter.
