Friday Favorites - Under the Glass Dome
I think I've spoken of my love for glass cloches before on the blog, but they are such a favorite of mine, I thought it might be time to revisit the subject!
I first saw and fell in love with them years ago in Paris. They are all over the beautiful bakeries in that city. But at that time, I never saw them here in the United States. I'm not sure why they took so long to appear here, but I'm so glad they did! I usually have several in my kitchen on top of different sized cake stands. Sometimes I display homemade desserts in them, but often I just leave them empty. I love the lines of them, and the way the sun shines through them. I've even used them in the family room and put other items under the glass as a focal point. My personal favorite way to use them is on a white cake stand in a white kitchen, however, I've seen them on clear glass cake plates, on willow basket trays, on granite or marble pedestals, or even a wood platter. I love their old-fashioned charm, and the way they make anything look special.
