Cake walk

Heels dress up everything — even a slice of red-velvet cake. The High Heel Cake Server from Seattle-based Fireworks includes a magnetic heel that comes off for cleaning. The slipper is about 9 inches long.

$18. For store locations or to buy: www.fireworksgallery.net or 800-505-8882

Inspired by nature

These teacups and saucers from Kotokubi of Japan look like delicate leaves.

$15 for a cup and saucer. Perennial Tea Room, 1910 Post Alley, Seattle, 888-448-4054 or www.perennialtearoom.com

Royal tea

The cobalt and gold pattern of this teapot from Lomonosov Porcelain of St. Petersburg is said to have been a favorite of Catherine the Great.

We don't know if the tale is true, but it makes for fun conversation at teatime.

$68-$195 depending on size. Perennial Tea Room, 1910 Post Alley, Seattle, 888-448-4054 or www.perennialtearoom.com

Treat tower and plates
