cake plates

Tiered display dishes

Cake plates are flat dishes designed specifically for serving cake, typically featuring a slightly raised rim and sometimes a pedestal base for display.

They range from everyday casual pieces to fine china reserved for special occasions: She arranged the slices on her grandmother's crystal cake plate.

The term usually implies something more decorative than an ordinary dinner plate.
