Well, I promised a cupcake stand tutorial so here it is. :) These are easy to make that I feel silly even posting a tutorial for it!!!
OK, here goes...
Get yourself a wooden candle stick and paint it whatever color your heart desires. They come in all different heights. I found mine in the unfinished wood section at Hobby Lobby.
Then get a round platter. Again, I found this one at Hobby Lobby. Also, in the wood section they sell all different size wood rounds if you wanted to go w/ painted wood as your top.
For this stand I used a little porcelain platter and thread some ribbon through the holes around the edge. This one is a little different than the others I made. I love this top b/c you can switch out the ribbon to coordinate with whatever colors/theme you're using. :)
Grab some glue....
Apply glue to the top of the candle stick...
Flip the platter over and stick the candle stick to the back. Make sure to center the candle stick in the center of the round top.
Let the glue dry and VOILA!! You have yourself a cute little cupcake stand. :)
I want to give a special thanks to my assistant apprentice, 4 year old Bailey Marie Petronis, who made the adorable cupcake featured on today's cupcake stand. Thank you sweet baby.
Together, one day you and I are going to do big things!!! ;)

I start my days off by checking your BLOG. I find it very entertaining. I never know what to expect...and the love for your family just oozes between the lines. I'm not posting to win a cupcake stand...just to let you know that I enjoy my morning visits into your home. I am amazed by your creativity! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteha ha :) super cute super man!
ReplyDeleteHey Kate,
ReplyDeleteExcited about your give away....how nice is that! I love the cream stand with the plate and ribbon.....cream color goes with anything and then changing out the ribbon would be so helpful in different events. Love what you do and I tell people about your cakes and fun treats all the time. I am so impressed and wish I had the creativity. DOn't give it up!

I like the tallest of the cupcake stands, the one you used in the tutorial with the changeable ribbon. Very cute items.

I like the brown one with the cream colored top. I have absolutely loved all the cakes you make, they give me so many ideas! You are amazingly talented.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute! I'm only writing to tell you how adorable they are, not because I want to win one. The cupcakes I make are not worthy to be put on a stand. :)
ReplyDeleteI just came upon your site!!! I LOVE it and you are very talented!!! Thanks for the ideas to try out :)
