Do you have an event coming up? Perhaps you might like to try this idea found via Apartment Therapy. It is a cupcake stand made of vintage plates and glass candlestick holders held together with epoxy. I think it is adorable. I only wish I had come across this idea earlier to suggest for my friends kitchen tea party (although the stands we used were great too).

I love this idea..I have seen it done with assorted tea cups and saucers in different sizes..great for a High Tea..hope all is well lovely x
ReplyDeleteViv, this is a great great idea.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law said to me. what do you want for your birthday and I told her a cake stand, but she doesn't find one (I'm thinking in my daughter birthday, you know)
So this is a good alternative.
;)
i am also a major fan of this diy cupcake stand. i finally got around to make it myself: Plate Stand

ReplyDeleteloving this! not only will i be making myself one, im sure of at least one person i can gift one to. thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteOh this is perfect. I am doing a sesame street splash party with character cupcakes....this will be perfect! Just peachy...
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I were just discussing this sort of thing for her wedding (in around 6 months time), and I'd actually come on here to find your painted bottles.
ReplyDeleteHer theme colours are black, silver and ivory, and we'd been discussing how good the parfait/milkshake glasses would look with silver star wire in them, with black painted bottles decorated in silver as vases in the buffet table.
Thanks, Viv :)
You always make my smile :)
I love this idea! Thanks for the link!

Mine were a bit more modern, but love these in the picture too. :) I think I need to do some more.... it is too fun!
so cute! i wish i would have seen this too when i had my son's first bday party. i got one of those wire cupcake stands for his cake. this is so much cuter and unique. next time!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to make cake stands similar to the very cute yellow one you made. I just posted mine finally. I love that yours has multiple tiers.
