Burgundy Ruffle Cake Stand with Dome

The Burgundy Ruffle Cake Stand with Dome has been part of the Magnolia lineup for years in one color or another — we just gave it a new coat for the season, a deep, wintery burgundy in place of the usual neutral. The ruffle at the base is what makes it: stoneware pressed to look gathered, like fabric rather than clay, so the whole stand reads as handcrafted even from across the room. A glass dome sits over the top, keeping a cake or a stack of cookies visible and protected until it's time to cut in. At nearly 13 inches wide, it holds its own as a centerpiece, whether that's the main dessert of the night or just something pretty left out between courses.

Set it at the head of the dessert table for the big family dinner, or let it sit on the counter holding cookies all December — it's sturdy enough that it doesn't need a special occasion to earn its spot. Once the ruffle's this good, the color almost doesn't matter; we just liked it in burgundy for the season. Pair it with the plaid napkins and reversible runner from the same collection, or let the color carry the table on its own against something simpler.

It's a piece built to stay in rotation well past this one December, for birthdays and potlucks and anything else worth setting a cake out for.
