You should choose a pedestal cake plate with dome that’s the same size or slightly bigger than the cakes you’re planning on baking.
To give you a good starting point, most pedestal cake plates with dome range between six and twelve inches. If you’re torn between two, then we recommend staying on the large side.
When searching for the best shape for a pedestal cake plate, you're going to notice that one shape stands out. Round pedestal cake plates are the most common choice and with good reason. The circular shape is elegant and lays the perfect foundation for displaying a cake you are proud of.
The versatility of this round-shape works equally well when displaying other party favorites like cupcakes, snacks, and savory treats. However, we suggest you pay careful attention to the size and weight of the cake you are planning on displaying before determining the correct shape of pedestal cake plate with dome.
The best materials for a pedestal cake plate with dome will be versatile and functional at the same time. While cake plates come in various materials such as plastic, glass, and acrylic, your decision will boil down to aesthetics and your personal preference.
Glass stands are extremely versatile and transparent, so they fit in with most themes. They are also easy to care for and maintain but prone to breakage if dropped even once. Acrylic stands, on the other hand, are durable and unique. The bonus is that, like glass, they also clean up easily and don't require much maintenance.
If you want the look of a glass pedestal cake plate with dome and the safety of plastic, then acrylic is your best bet. They are also better for display, while glass cake stands are much better for cutting on due to their weight.
