The Cake Stand: How To

In an effort to keep costs down for this wedding, I had done some research to see if we can make our own cake/dessert stands. My inspiration came from the blogger, A_Patchwork_Orange, on the website, craftster.com. Click here to see the details. So intrigued I was. Looking a little more on Etsy and WeddingBee, I noticed that I can get the same results but using a bowl or cup as the base and a platter as the top. So here are the instructions... pics coming soon!

Supplies:
  • 1 platter of your choice (I used a large plate from Ikea)
  • 1 bowl or cup of your choice (I used a small soup bowl from Ikea)
  • 1 small tube of E6000 glue

Step 1: Determine whether the platter would look right with the bowl or cup standing right-side up or upside down. Put the two pieces together and see what looks best for you.


Step 2: Glue the platter to the bowl / cup. Let the glue dry according to the directions.

Excuse the background schtuff =)



The finished pieces.

Note: the cake stand can only be hand washed to protect the glue.
