Popping Cake Stand

The Gift Pod is 6.0” tall and has a diameter of 2.8”.

You can bake OR buy a cake!
Pro Tip: If you buy the cake, select one with minimal decorations in the center and bottom perimeter to make it easier to core out the center and transfer from the store board to the Surprise Plate.
Pro Pro Tip: Ask the bakery for extra matching frosting to cover the center of the cake OR cover the Gift Pod with our Candle Topper for an easy solution! You can also cover the center with Surprise Sprinkles for a confetti explosion! 

Nope! Each cake stand includes a Cake Corer which easily removes the center of the cake.

Yes, it is completely hand washable and reusable. You can reuse it for any and all celebrations! 

Nope! The Popping Stand is completely battery and electricity free. It operates with an internal spring mechanism. The Gift Pod is released by a manual Pull Ring Trigger or hand crank Music Box Trigger. The mechanism is similar to a Jack-In-the-Box toy. 

Yes! Please contact us for Gift Pod packages.

 Yes, but it is still necessary to use our included Cake Corer to remove any excess cake from the center. 

The Music Box Trigger easily slides on to the Stand's Base. Please note, before sliding the Music Box Trigger onto the Base, be sure to lift up the the Pull Ring. 

The Popping Cake Stand can easily transform into a Popping Cupcake Stand by placing both included Plates on to the Stand and replacing the included flat Gift Pod cover with the Cupcake Topper (sold separately or as a Featured Set)!
