Beyond disappointed! We received this for our wedding gift and after the first time using it, the stand broke. We followed the instructions exactly as they read for cleaning. Disappointed that we can't return it because it's after the return policy period.

I love the look of this and was so excited to use it for the first time after receiving it as a shower gift. My husband was cutting the cake (and holding a hand under the plate) when the base broke - not even the top coming off the base like others have complained about, the entire base split and the plate crashed on to the table.

Plastic handles. I wish I saw that. Ugh. Would not have purchased

Beautiful cake display very expensive too fragile bottom piece broke right off seperated from base held together only by cheap glue also slightly tilted not level!!!

1. The base is ivory, not white. 2. The glass dome is super fragile. It will certainly break at some point. 3. The base is not glued onto the stand properly - it is a bit off center. Yes, you can only tell when you turn it over, but a sign of poor quality.

Pretty, but too small to fit an 8" iced cake, rendering it useless. It looks lovely on a dessert table (5 star worthy) but wouldn't fit an 8" cake once it is iced (1 star worthy) so I averaged it out to a rating of 3. A small lemon meringue pie did fit, and looked very nice, but a cake plate that can't fit a cake is useless to me. Returning to store.

Glass edges on topper could be smoother. Overall quality was below average for Martha products. Pedestal stem broke very easily.

I should have read the fine print - this is much to small for the usual 9" cake, and an 8" will barely fit too. It's really sweet though - just be aware that it is smaller than expected, at least for me.
