Tools and Hardware Reviews of Allied Cake Stand with Cover
Customer Review: Exception Value
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely loved the cake stand/punch bowl. It's a high quality product that was a good weight and easy to clean.Customer Review: Super Cake Plate
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been very satisfied with my cake plate. It is made of glass and is really beautiful.Customer Review: Huge but heavy
Summary: 4 Stars
This handsome, simple stand is (just) big enough to hold a three-layer nine-inch cake with a lot of frosting and coconut on it. I haven't tried it as a punch-bowl yet, but I appreciate the ingeniousness of the design. It would be a bargain at twice the price.I give it four stars instead of five because the cover really is amazingly heavy--so heavy that I find it a bit difficult to hold. And carrying the whole stand on the subway with a three-layer cake on it, trying to keep it level? Phew, what a workout! In fairness, it's clearly not meant to be used to transport cakes. It's built to anchor your cake or punch-type beverage to the earth, a task it accomplishes very well.
Customer Review: Versatile, very good, but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
I have one. It works as advertised. Thick, heavy glass.
The lid inverts into the stand and can be used as a punch bowl or a trifle bowl. It makes this a triple-use device (cakes, punch, and trifle), which is a great feature. Alton Brown (no single use tools) would love it!
There are two downsides.
It is larger than it looks, which makes storage difficult. It will not fit in an upper cabinet in my kitchen. I store mine, wrapped in plastic, in a milk crate, in the garage.
It is top heavy-the lid weighs more than the base, and the knob on top of the cover is really think and heavy, so you must watch it, especially as a punch bowl.
Customer Review: I love this..but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for a wedding gift this past summer and decided to also buy one for myself...but I didn't get it at target, I bought it for less than $10 at a "fancy" department store. It's great as a cake stand AND a punch bowl, although I felt it was a little tippy as a punch bowl and luckily it didn't actually tip. It's really a great buy and a great space saver if you have little storage!
