I dropped my wife's favorite cake dish and the pedestal base came off.
It's a mushroom shape in profile, coffee cup sized base with a dinner
dish sized cake dish on top. The original clear, hard as glass glue
remains on the plate. How do I get this off and once off, what type
adhesive/glue do I use to reattach the base and plate? All advice
appreciated.

Are you sure that "hard as glass" glue is not really glass? I'd check out
some local glass workers, glass blowers, stained glass people that may be
able to put it back together again. A good epoxy will hold for a while, but
the dishwasher may do it in.

That hard-as-glass glue is likely just the glass weld between the plate and
the column. I use epoxy for glass repairs, but this joint gets a lot of
torque, and it is likley not fixable, and cannot be washed except by hand,
after such a difficult repair. Sorry about the marriage
consequences...........

I would try epoxy. Otherwise, the options seem to be limited to finding a
glass place that can "weld" them together with glass.

Save your marriage, go out and buy a replacement nicer than
what you broke. Putting a cake in it might be a nice touch.

Use some cheap crazy glue to stick it temporarily and place it where
your wife will bump it and smash it to pieces

Geez people. How can you give this man advice without knowing what the
wife looks like?

You have a point there. Might be easier to replace the wife.

Screw that. Go out and buy a replacement wife that isn't so hung up on
an inanimate object which clearly was broken by accident.

My vote is for going out and buying a new, crystal cake dish. Wrap it as
a gift and present it with a sincere apology.
