The Art of the Deal

The day before my surgery we stopped in the thrift store and I scored this vintage 1950's cake carrier in excellent condition for 2.99... on the different auction sites they went from 20.00 and up depending on the condition.
My next purchase was 12.50 a vintage cake plate... All the other cake plates of the same brand and almost same design were over a 100.00

My gas oven has to be regulated... It's been overly gassy. So when Im up to it PG&E has to come out.

Overly gassy... I resemble that remark!
But your cake carrier is round, and your cake plate is square!
Do you put square cakes in a round carrier?
Inquiring minds want to know.

“Vintage Custom Cakes by Lady Rae”……. The next big business! You’ll have the millennials and Gen Zers falling over themselves to get one.
My wife can't pass up vintage items like that.
Do you still have a place to store those?
Actually I have always had the dream to have a small cake business called The Bucking Cow Cake Co.

I know how you feel. I've been overly gassy for quite some time now. You have my sympathies.

My mom had a cake keeper just like that one ................
The Donald would be proud of you Lady Rae.
Nice score and congrats on the finds
Many years ago when shipping was cheap so you know its been years and we were having family get togethers
I bought my wife some cake carriers I think one was blue and one was a cream color their may have Be a third one it's to long to remember she had the cake stands Not sure maybe fle market finds as we use to like going .
I know their still here, along with more old dishes tucked away in a cabinet some where
I have also noticed the latest generations do not have interest in collecting a wide range of items nothing like it use to be
Maybe the cost or the space to keep such items or just no interest at all
My younget son and his wife are like that just say it's clutter or junk to have around sets to be a commom phrase
