I've been searching the thrift stores for at least a year for a cake plate, with no luck. A few weeks ago I stood in our local big box store looking at a new one, touching it, picking it up, then putting it back on the shelf, trying to convince myself one way or the other. In the end, I just couldn't justify buying a new one since it was more a really want than a need.
Serendipitously, I found this beaut at Goodwill about a week later. It's not old or anything - in fact, I think it's the exact one I saw at the big box store - but I feel much better about giving something new life instead of buying one new at the store.
It was the perfect home for the first batch of gluten-free, casein-free cookies I made for my boy last night.

I am officially jealous! I have been looking for the exact same thing and so far all I have found are mid-century collectible types for more than $50 bucks. I want something cheap, second hand, and functional! Congrats on your find and if you come across another one...you know who wants it!
We found a Goodwill on Broadway close to downtown that they send all the really good stuff too. I actually saw two cake plates that day! If I come across another one I'll definitely pick it up for you!
What a great find!
