It's been a while since my last DIY project. So I decided to make a grand come back with this DIY Cake Stand tutorial, which I literally use every time I have a cupcake party. That's why I secretly call it the DIY Cupcake Stand tutorial.
It literally cost me $3 to make + it looks so pretty + decorative.
materials
Wanna make it? Piece of cake (pun intended). All you need is:
step by step
Step 1: Eliminate the top part of the candelabrum. You won't be needing that part.
Step 2: Glue the top part of the candelabrum + attach the plastic plate perfectly in the center for balance.
Step 3: In a safe outdoors location, spray paint the entire project for an even finish. Now, don't come too close with the spray paint or else the paint will drip. I recommend to spray 1 meter or so away from the project.
Step 4: Let it dry for 30 minutes.
Step 5: Flip project + re-paint to cover every little corner.
Step 6: Let dry for 30 minutes.
Step 7: Repeat spray painting process until the surface of the cake stand looks uniform + well coated.
safety tip
When taking out your cake stand creation for a spin, I recomend, for safety, to never place food directly on the surface. You can use dollies or keep your cupcakes in their paper cups like seen below.
decorative tip
If you want to wow your guest at your next party, I suggest making these with different candelabrum shapes + heights + diverse paint colors. The result is a symphony of cake stand heaven. I pinky promise. Give it a try.
What do you think? You can definitively try this at home right? I thought so too!
Let me know how it goes. Bonus points for sending me pictures. I love pictures.
