Parties: Decorating My Cupcake Stand!

Hello there, cupcake lovers! I have had a couple people ask about the cupcake stand that I've been using! I picked it up at Michaels ($20), but used a 50% off coupon ($10), making this fabulous party piece quite the bargain! I like it because it is plain and can be used and decorated for any type of celebration!

Here it is at Kate's Lollipop Party:

I started looking for a cupcake stand after I saw this FABULOUS photo from Amy Atlas Events. Swoon! This photo makes my heart skip a beat:



I LOVE the letters stuck to her stand, but I just ran out of time to give that one a try!


For the Wilton cake stand, to make the paper circles I just traced each layer of the cake stand onto paper. Then I cut it out about 1/4" in from the line I made. Then I cut a slit from the outside edge to the center of the circle. Then I cut a small circle out in the center. It was just trial and error, just keep cutting until fits! Then I taped the slit together. It doesn't have to be perfect since the cupcakes cover it anyway!



For Kate's I did try to attach paper around the edges, but it was very frustrating to get it to stick. The edges are actually curved to "show off" the cupcakes, so trying to attach paper to a curved circle was next to impossible. (you can see the overlap in the photo above...does not make this perfectionist very happy!) Maybe ribbon would be easier, since it's more flexible!

Good Luck! Send me pictures if you decorate one!
