Baking cakes can be a meditative and intricate hobby. As someone whose last form of dessert bakeware was an Easy Bake Oven, I truly commend those who take the art of cake decorating seriously. You may not realize it, but cakes are embedded in a lot of momentous occasions in our lives. From birthday cakes to wedding cakes, and even baby shower cakes, there is always a cake waiting to be devoured. They are truly the main character of a party!

Cake stands are a great kitchen accessory to show off your masterpiece of a cake. Not to mention, they make your already attractive cake look even more delectable! If you're like me, you'd rather choose a cake over a bouquet of flowers to be the centerpiece of the dining table. The glass dome counts as home decor, right? Dessert stands are a great way to show off your cakes on your countertops, and they also make great gifts for the baker in your life.

We gathered six of the most stylish cake stands you will want to show off!
