"  For all of the bridesmaids (and anyone else who needs to throw any kind of shower) out there\u2014check out the cuteness that can happen inside a cake stand\u2014zero calories required! Yes, cakeless cake stands are the centerpieces of the moment, according to the DIY-all-the-time mind of Darcy Miller, editorial director at Martha Stewart Weddings. We got ourselves out of bed super early this week to check them out. (Bonus: Martha Weddings had Blackberry cronuts from New York&amp;#039;s famed Dominique Ansel Bakery for breakfast, and we didn&amp;#039;t have to wait two hours for them!) arcy soon schooled us on the cool new bridal trend\u2014as inspired by the cake stands from Martha&amp;#039;s collection at Macy&amp;#039;s. Consider us dumbfounded, but it&amp;#039;s cool to use cake stands, and not just for cake. You can fill the stands (which come in various sizes and styles) with boxes of chocolate, cookies, apples, cheeses, candies, and paper flowers. They add just the right amount of this-event-is-so-put-together when they&amp;#039;re filled with party favors or even just a little decorative bird.  Freaking adorable, super easy and you can reuse the stands\u2014for actual cake or, we don&amp;#039;t know, kitchen storage? We heard one editor say she puts jewelry in hers. Copy that!
