I am in quite a bind! I ordered a beautiful cupcake stand from the UK a month ago and it still has not arrived. I have a wedding next weekend!!! I do not like the white stands that you can buy at Michaels. Has anyone ever made one themselves? I want to have clear plates if possible? Any suggestions? I am dying here!

Thanks,
Lynn

I saw someone use cake plates, stacked on each other, as a cupcake stand. I would put some pinches florist's clay under the bases, to keep them from sliding.

I go to Walmart or the dollar store and buy different size/colors of plates and stack them with the matching glasses/cups. Glue them together and it works great. You could buy different "trays" also. I have some clear plastic glasses that I use in between the layers and fill them with greenery, flowers, or whatever fits my design. Works great, cheap and fun to make. You can dress it up or make it fun

Great Ideas! Thanks!
