Afternoon tea doesn’t have to be boring but can be stylish if you have a valuable silver plate cake stand. You can use it to hold cakes, sandwiches, and other decorative items. A cake stand has the same structure as a stool with a base, frame, and top to place a cake. Even though cake stands are available in different materials (wood, metal, and pottery), today, we shall focus on the one made from a silver plate.

The cake stand can help you elevate your cakes or sandwiches higher during afternoon tea, creating a stable display.
2. Decorator Cake Stand
