This tiered stand will show off those homemade cakes you are especially proud of, with this elegant three-tier cake stand. Perfect as a centrepiece at any afternoon tea parties. Ceramic cups are dishwasher safe, the slate tray is preferable for hand wiping with a wet cloth and dry it with the cloth. This is not a toy and keeps out of reach of children. As we only use the 100% natural raw slate and hand-cut it to shape, irregularities on the surface /sharp edges&corners and tiny chips off within the finished designs are to be expected. Our foodservice products, such as our cheeseboards and servicing trays, have been treated with acrylic lacquer. Our special acrylic lacquer completely seals the slate ensuring food safety and allows for ease of cleaning (only for few exclusive/finest products). To maintain the appearance of these items over time and hide scratches, a natural/cooking oil can be re-applied using a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not wash in the dishwasher; do not use with abrasive pan scrubs. Do not place in either a conventional or a microwave oven. Our slate products are heat resistant- perfect for hot pans and dishes; fridge and freezer safe. Please keep away from children under 18-year-old, this is not a toy. Some items may have minor scuffs/scratches or the package is squashed from being bulk shipped to the warehouse. However, we guarantee all products are new.
