Why this cake stand earns its place
The elevated platform is Maham Anjum's answer to a problem every pastry chef knows: how do you present your work at eye level without it looking like a cake-shop display? The answer is a platform that's designed, not just functional. This is vitrified stoneware—the same durable material as the bowls in the Spice range—with the same unglazed exterior and reactive glaze interior that give the collection its signature warmth.
At 152mm diameter with a 45mm lift, this is height without drama. Big enough to stage a substantial dessert or bread display, small enough to feel intimate rather than theatrical. Use it as a centrepiece at the pass, a display stand for pre-dessert elements, or a riser for family-style bread service at the table. The green stoneware sits comfortably with any plating concept, and the handcrafted aesthetic lifts the entire presentation above standard catering tableware.
Vitrified stoneware means it's dishwasher-safe and built to survive repeated use. A pack of 12 gives you a full range of heights if you're running multiple stands, or a full dinner service worth if you're using them as family-style centrepieces. They're stackable, efficient to store, and each one carries the same craft-forward presence that makes the Spice collection feel intentional.
