Description
This ceramic cake stand rests its round, scalloped top on a lop-eared bunny, who lies at the base with its head turned up towards the cake and one long ear trailing down to the table. The top is embossed with fine leaf veins that radiate from the centre, and the whole piece is finished in a white glaze, soft enough for cream linens and bright enough for a sunny spring table. It stands 11.7cm tall, 24cm across and 23.7cm from front to back, so it lifts a cake just enough to make it the centre of the spread without towering over the teapot.
Easter is where it comes into its own. We like it in the middle of the Easter table with a simnel cake, a ring of hot cross buns or a plate of iced biscuits, and the bunny tucked underneath is a small surprise for guests to spot. Through the rest of the year it works just as well on a kitchen dresser, a sideboard or a coffee table, holding a sponge for afternoon tea, a few cupcakes or a pile of scones. At 24cm across it suits a small cake or a generous handful of bakes rather than a tall tiered one.
The stand is made from ceramic with a glazed white finish, and the bunny forms the base, sitting flat on the table and carrying the top from beneath, so it needs nothing more than a level surface. To keep it looking fresh, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft tea towel, and treat it as you would any ceramic piece, lifting it with both hands rather than by the top alone. Set it out with a bowl of painted eggs beside it, or wrap it with a box of chocolate eggs for an Easter gift that comes out every year.
