Trawling the charity shops of Windsor looking for vinyl was an experience in itself, turns out the residents of the Royal Borough seem to be quite fond of Howard Jones & Engelbert Humperdinck (way too much Humperdinck) I picked records I knew & loved, so my stand ended up with a rather eclectic mix of the original film soundtrack of Mary Poppins, Tears for Fears - Shout & Love Affair - Everlasting Love. Make of that mix what you will...
I've also made a special 80's edition to give away to one lucky reader! 
This stand combines, Erasure - Circus, Danny Wilson - The Second Summer of Love & Owen Paul - My Favourite Waste of Time. It's a marvellous medley of 80's pop! To be fair I don't really know the Danny Wilson track, but 10" vinyl is remarkably hard to come by, so had to take what I could find :-)It's very sturdy & dead easy to dismantle so you can store it flat. I love a traditional chintzy china cake stand, but this vinyl version will definitely make a bold statement on your tea table & is sure to get people talking about the tunes!
To be in with a chance to win my 80's-tastic vintage vinyl cake stand, just leave a comment below or email me at rebeccabakescakes@hotmail.co.uk to say you're in. If you want to share a guilty music secret, then feel free, I won't judge! Quite frankly I have too many to mention, but to get things started I queued on Oxford Street for hours to meet 90's boyband Let Loose, I've been to see Cliff Richard not once but twice (with my Mum!) & I am the proud owner of a CD signed by Shed Seven. You get the idea, it's musical catharsis!
Competition will close at 11.59pm on Sunday 29th May 2011. International entries welcome! Good luck, Rebecca x
I'd love to win the 80's tastic cake stand! I loved the 80's. I first 'went out' with my now hubby in 1981 when we were both 15 and the first present he bought me was the single 'Green Door' by Shakin Stevens!
ReplyDeleteI loooooooove this and must commend you on your choice of songs... sometimes I stiiiill catch myself singing the Owen Paul song!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this beautiful one-off art /kitchen piece!
That is just fantastic, I'd love to win, but if I don't I might have to make one myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat cake stand - I'd like to decorate it with cupcakes and serenade it:

i love baking cakes and would love a chance to win this great stand my fav cake i made recently was a rainbow cake i am just about to start blogging about my cakes too and would love something to picture them on ...... also my guilty pleasure would have to be Steps i saw them in concert and i also went to a x-fator concert and went back stage and meant Shane ward and Chicco lol my twitter name is @KTBennett83
ReplyDeleteSuch an unusual stand! It would certainly draw the attention away from my dodgy looking (but very more-ish!) cakes
ReplyDelete@novagirl291 on twitter
what a brilliant clever idea, I just have no talent for this sort of thing at all, would be a great prize to win
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Can I come clean now and admit to loving Shakin Stevens - or will you disqualify me LOL x

This is a fab giveaway. I once waited for 6hrs to meet ant and dec (pj and duncan) at a record store in manchester. Also camped outside a territorial army base where Take That were rehearsing for their last concert together bfore they broke up back in 1995. The things we do for the love of music (and teen idols lol)
