Do It Yourself
Damask Cupcake Stand & Pedestals


Last night I decided to try to make my Damask Cupcake Stand. It still needs a little tightening up, but I decided to go ahead & post pics :) I still have to finish attaching my rhinestone beading, and line up the pearl pins on the side...

I used damask wrapping paper, glue stick, hot glue gun, styrofoam cake dummies, cardboard cake platters, tiffany blue ribbon & rhinestone trim for the edges. Oh, & pearl corsage pins. Most of the stuff I already had on hand, but I did go purchase extra ribbon & trim for the project, which still kept me under $30 for the entire project. I can handle that price for a cake stand!

Also, because the cupcake stand will hold about 60 cupcakes (you can make yours to accomodate any quanity), I used what I had left to make pedestals for display of extra cupcakes. Try to imagine our small cake on the top of the stand, with the rhinestone topper.

It's a first for me, so go easy on my reviews, lol! J/K

Wow, thanks ladies!  I didn't expect this feedback on my amateur attempt!  I made this at my sister's place & my 3yr old neice was too cute & started singing happy birthday when she saw it!  She thought it was a birthday cake, lol.  Seriously, thanks for your feedback.  Makes me feel much better...:)

I was wondering what did you use for the cupcake wrap? Thanks!

Cupcake:  The cupcake wraps I am using are "Filigree laser cut" wraps that I ordered online.  I can't remember which site I ordered them from, but they usually are sold by the dozens.  I think Hobby Lobby also sells them now in small quantities.  I will probably have the cupcakes in an aqua blue or silver cup, then place inside the filigree wrap.  HTH
