For years, I have complained that my domed cake plate is not quite tall enough to cover the 3 tiered frosted cake. It easily covers 2 tier cakes, but not 3 tiers.
I have casually looked around for a taller domed cake plate. I have found a few at antique stores, but until recently I had not found one that was inexpensive. Surprisingly enough, I found it on Amazon.com. I used the tall domed cake plate on his birthday for the first time this year and I am thrilled with the height of the dome. What I did not anticipate is that the dome is more narrow and will not accommodate the removable separate cake plate that I normally use. Until I can find a smaller removable cake plate, I will simply put the cake directly on the pedestal cake plate under the dome.
As you can see in the photo, the taller dome is perfect for the taller cake.

The Shorter Original Beside the New Taller Dome Cake Plate
Glass Cake Stand with Dome Lid
The cake stand and dome are sold together. I really love the ball grip on the top of the dome that matches the ball on the base of the pedestal. They make a very elegant display and presentation for a delicious dessert without being overpowering.
Because it is glass, it is heavier than my acrylic cake plate, but that weight also gives it more stability when sitting on a table. It isn't as likely to slide if someone bumps the table.
I measured the interior side of the tall dome and it is 5.25" tall. The width of the dome is 10.25". By comparison, my original dome is 4.25" tall and 11" wide. It is amazing how much difference an inch can make for cake top clearance, especially if the cake is decorated.
