@Lauk80: Thanks! My friend let me borrow the cupcake stand but you can get it from Target for $20! I love Target. Anywho, I just checked, and it's not currently available. Maybe they'll restock? They were carrying it for a long time so I don't know if it's discontinued. Here's a link for a "cake stand" search: http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=cake+stand&category=0%7CAll%7Cmatchallany%7Call+categories

Hope it comes back! I wanted to eventually buy one for myself. I think it's made of ceramic so it feels like good quality. However, I might get a 6 tiered pastry stand that I saw featured in Real Simple magazine: http://www.gretelhome.com/koziol/661-babell-xl-serving-tray-in-white.html

I don't know if it's against the Apartment Therapy rules to include the links above... If so, I hope someone tells me!

@Theplumathree: Elsie is my husband's grandmother's name. We thought it would be nice to have the name passed on plus we like how it's a bit vintage .. or rather, very vintage. The name hasn't been popular since the 1920s.

@Cleona: You can definitely make the cake! 3 cake pans and 2 batches of colors. The gel dyes that the recipe calls for seem to make richer colors than the traditional food coloring drops. I've learned that I love parchment paper! It helps so much with clean up. Thanks for the comment! =)

@Annieglan and @olliegraphic: No way! A lot of people ask us what our baby's name is and when we say, "Elsie," they pause and stare blankly for a little bit before they respond with, "oh, cute .. hello, Elise!" We don't correct them though. It's sweet that they stop to say hi. =)
