I Need Help! (Making My Own Cupcake Stand!)
Business By mom2spunkynbug Updated 15 Oct 2009 , 1:28pm by kikster
Ok, so I took a last minute order for a friend. Geeeeez...I guess I should not have rushed everything & done some research first! I went to Global Sugar Art and they are OUT of the cupcake stand that I was going to get!! And I cannot afford to get the expensive one right now!
This order is for Sunday. I am doing a 6" cake on top, with a cupcake tower of 60 cupcakes underneath.
I've seen that there are tutorials on making your own cupcake stand using cake drums & styrofoam 6" dummies. I just don't know what sizes will hold what I need?!
Any advice/suggestions are welcome!
(P.S. I will never take another order with such short notice!!!)
i make mine using dummies and drums.. put ur 6 on an 8 inch board (and drum). i would do a 10,12,14 drum. dummies 6,8,10 maybe? are u going to a cake supply? stack it up and look at it.. I just did it Friday LOL except mine were square
I realise this isn't what you asked, but I'll tell you anyway... I recently made a cupcake stand. I cut circles (7, 9, 11, 13, 15") out of 1/4" MDF, cut 2" plumbing pipe into 5" lengths and hot-glued centrally as spacers, glued feet under the bottom tier, sprayed the whole thing white (primer first) and glued white ribbon around each edge. Looks great and cost about $20 in total, including ribbon and spray paint.
lilthorner, what did you cover the dummies with?
Thanks
I made one like lilhorner did. I used decorative foil to cover the boards, and ribbon to match the cupcakes on the drums. I used the pretty pearl pins to attach the ribbon so I can easily remove it. (made sure I lined the pins all up on one side so when the whole thing is stacked, all the pins are straight down the back - kinda looked like the back of a dress!)
