When you are considering purchasing a quality dessert stand, several factors should be considered:

Keep Cakes Fresh with Glass Cake Dome
Storing cakes and desserts and keeping them fresh is a worry, especially when you want to display the item and prepare your display in advance.
All who enjoy a cake want to savor the moist taste and enjoy the silky-smooth frosting. However, cakes go stale and harden quickly unless they are covered and stored correctly. This is another reason cake plates with dome covers are vital.
A NUDE glass cake dome is an elegant serveware essential that creates a safe, sealed environment for its contents. It locks in moisture and helps prevent cakes from drying out. In addition, the use of a cake dome glass also protects the cake from gathering dust, bugs, and other contaminants that may impair the look or appeal of the dessert.
At NUDE, the delicate, transparent glass crystal of our cake domes allows the cake to be the main showpiece. Although the dessert is covered, the clever design of the dome ensures any sweet treat stays as fresh and unblemished as it did when it was first presented to the table!
