Serving Cake

I always dream of going to the New York City International Gift Show…and the Stationary Show…and the Accessories Show…it goes on and on.  The Javits Center could be my alternative heaven.  In the meantime, I get highlights from my favorite blogs and bloggers.  This week, Apartment Therapy picked some of their faves from the gift show.  I thought you all might have some thoughts about it.

Serving cake.  An art? A challenge?  The Scandinavian design firm Magisso has designed a unique cake server (video demonstration HERE) that looks like the answer to all pastry aficionado’s fears: how to preserve the cake’s luminosity as it’s being devoured.

Take a look.  It seems to work beautifully for cheescakes and coffee cakes, but let me be honest: all I really care about are cherry pies.  I’m not so sure it would be able to handle a deliciously messy goo of sugar, fruit, and crust. 

Maybe it’s due for a test run.
