I am a Baha'i, and these past four days my family and I have been celebrating Ayyam-i-Ha. It's a time of cheer, celebration, acts of generosity, service, and gift giving in preparation for our Fasting period before the Baha'i New Year. If you want to learn more about it you can click here. But basically this weekend I made my father his favorite cake as a gift. He's a pretty healthy guy, but he has a major sweet tooth when it comes to certain foods.
My husband and I got married just over a year and a half ago. As a wedding gift we received everything under the sun in terms of kitchenware. One of my favorite pieces was a glass cake stand. To my dismay, this past weekend, I realized it had been chipped in our cupboard. NO WORRIES! The glass top happened to fit PERFECTLY over our Cornflower Lace Service Plate, which I do think makes a lovely cake plate in and of itself.

Then, place the second layer on top and frost the sides as low as you'd like to go. My mother usually just frosts the top, but I decided I wanted less cake to show, plus I had a pound of frosting and I didn't want it to go to waste.
