I'm sure something could be made to hold them for placement .. the issue is adjusting them to hit the right spot .. that will still require a ladder in most cases.For the magnetic ones, and X Clip fixtures... do you need a ladder to get to the ceiling? Or is there a way to put them up and take them down without getting to ceiling height?

Might work for a cake .. tough if you needed to spot each table or many of the tables.I've always done cake shots from floor stands. Climbing ladders is for the birds.

It's tougher to get the stand out of the way for pictures. Most of the cake setups I've seen are sort of stranded near the dance floor. A light stand nearby would probably be in the photos unless you placed it farther away .. then you get a wider beam. Magnetic mount to the ceiling seems to get them out of the way.Agreed - but the OP was specifically asking for cake. +1 for using floor stands.
