We share a love for Dollar Tree!! I own a small cake business and a lot of my clients want a 6', or 8' cake with dozens of cupcakes surrounding it! I believe this is a great alternative than the flimsy paper cut-out stands that Wilton sells. Thank you so much for this! Being a baker and decorator you really have to be one creative soul!
if you get some ceramic paint, you could lightly sand the beading on the plates, or the outside rim and use a rag or fine paintbrush to dust on some gold or silver paint for a little bling. finish up with a bit of ceramic gloss over gold/silver to seal it.
For those who don’t know, you can order plates in bulk from Dollar Tree’s website. That way, you don’t have to go all over town trying to put a set together. My friends went in on some Christmas ones, and both had entire place settings for a fraction of what they cost at other stores. 😉
Perfect! My daughter's party is next weekend and I'll be making a few of these with my thrift store plates I've been picking up! Maybe I'll even spray paint the candlesticks! I'll check back in if I do and tell you if it worked!
So cute! I'm making one for my daughter 16th birthday party in Sept. And i got my plates at a thrift store for 50 cents and i will get the candle sticks at the dollar store. I got two blue plates and one clear. And i well use my cricut machine to cut some doilys for it. Thanks for sharing with us.
I love the dollar store too! Seems you could put the small plate upside down and then the candle stick and then the larger plate on top for an actual cake plate. Or, the above way, but placing a candle sticks upside down between two larger plates, plus a top smaller plate, for a cupcake holder. Just a thought (or two) :)
Very Nice im having a Tea Party for My 50th Birthday I'm going to use this idea Thanks for Sharing, also I've found the E6000 glue at Targets for 3.00 the large tube and it works very well, I was Super excited to see the great results.
Omg you're a genius!! I need a three tier tower for my son's first bday and this will do beautifully!!!!! I actually can't wait to go to the dollar store tomorrow, even a second hand store would be awesome!
I was actually watching a video...like yesterday and she had this beautiful cakestand that used for accessories...and I was going to go out a buy one...but than :) I saw your video and I was like BAMN...I am just going to go to the dollar store....lol...thanks
omg this is great i will definetly do this for a dessert table we have to do for our final project at baking school. the theme will be babyshower but i thibk that the stand will go great with just aabout any theme. thanks for the idea.
E6000 you can get at hobby lobby, joanns, or any craft store! and if you use a 40% off coupon its about 3 dollars! I also found it at walmart in the craft/party supply area ( more expensive at walmart because there are no coupons)
I would have love to see it with the cupcakes, just to have the whole picture of how beautiful it would have looked. otherwise it's a great idea for just $3.
So cute! I would love to have some of those white plates! I have been wanting some for a long time, and I love the beading too. Did you get those at Dollar Tree?
