Trifle Bowl or Cake Pedestal: Which One is More Versatile?

[lauriedip]

I'm trying to decide on another Trifle Bowl or cake pedestal, one of my past host doesn't want the 60% off!
Does anyone have the cake pedestal, worth it?

I have both and love both. I use the Trifle Bowl more (desserts, salads, etc) but am using the Cake Pedestal for cakes, display of food, platter, etc. I, personally, would get the Trifle Bowl.

If you don't already own the Cake Pedestal, I'd get that. If you own both, then I'd get the Trifle Bowl. You could use it for a centerpiece in your home, while having your other one available for recipes. Or you could save it for a special incentive for the future. Although, maybe the Cake Pedestal would be better for an incentive since it's a brand new item. Gee, I'm no help.

I would pick the trifle bowl. It is more practical than the cake pedestal.

Think about what you would use most in your own kitchen and to demo with. That will determine the best choice for you. Personally, I'd go with the trifle bowl if you don't already have it.

Because of all the decorative alternatives with the trifle bowl and its versatility, I would also suggest that - but if you don't have any of the Simple Addi+ion stands - then the cake pedestal makes sense. It's your choice!

We have had several questions and concerns about the cake pedastal lid and the lack there of. How is everyone else addressing these concerns and what suggestions are you making?

A little off topic....

I have a show this weekend and I think we are doing the Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad. I don't have any platters yet, Do you think it would look ok or be ok to serve in the Trifle Bowl?

I think that's a great idea!

I have yet to wish I had two Cake Pedestals, but I have more than once wished I had a second Trifle Bowl.

I don't have the Cake Pedestal, however, I love, love, love my Trifle Bowl.

Someone else had a thread on here..because she was trying to figure something out to use as the lid..and she used the bowl to the salad and berry spinner.

I have both and love both. (one pedestal and TWO trifle bowls).
If I had neither, I would go Trifle bowl all the way. But, I do love my cake pedestal to put cookies and brownies on ~ it's pretty versatile for me!

 

[chefheidi2003]

I love the Trifle Bowl..I love having 2..I like having a centerpiece done up in one..and then I use the other for..imagine this..TRIFLES..LOL

Another vote for the Trifle Bowl. It's more versatile.
You can put the large round platter on the trifle base, and it will look like a cake pedestal.

Yikes, that makes me nervous. I don't know if I'd do that. The point of getting our cake pedestal is that it is very stable. It won't tip as you try to slice and serve things.

But I do agree that the trifle bowl is more versatile.
