Better in photos than in Real Life, this cake plate suffers from a couple of design flaws which are problematic. First, though the overall design is sleek and attractive, that same sleekness makes the plate and cover awkward to handle. There's no sure grip on either. The plate handles are little more than wings and the cover grip is recessed into the dome, and allows very little finger room for holding on to the dome as you lift it. And that recessing is another problem in light of the height of the dome which is minimal. I often make cakes much higher than can be accomodated by this plate, and the dip in the dome makes the available space even smaller.

It remains to be seen whether the plastic dome will withstand reasonable use and stay clear. On the whole, I wish I'd gone with glass, even though it was bound to be heavier.

I really like the look of the platter. The plastic top is a diffrent story. It broke after I used it two times. The clear plastic is surely nice as long as it holds but I would go with a glass cover the next time too.
