Opposed to having them as mere "cake carriers" make them more than that!<BR/><BR/>You can use them as a stand for a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Or maybe a cute inventive spice rack. I know you are creative - create a piece of flair out of it!<BR/><BR/>I will tell you this though: On an episode of WifeSwap on which I found myself working the character of "anal mother who organizes everything" taught her kids to keep or discard items based on the motto of:<BR/><BR/>"Do you need it? Can you live without it? Is it making you money?"<BR/><BR/>So do what you will but I vote for the flair!Knucklecrackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348229101473323388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-12685947666657293882008-10-02T15:18:00.000-04:002008-10-02T15:18:00.000-04:00Keep.

And the amount of storage needed will be less than keeping both or the big one. Then you can also make it a point to get back to doing something you love - making cakes. A reasonable compromise, I think.
