I think these are so pretty and probably a whole lot cheaper than the silver plateaus (although they are stunning). Does anyone have directions or a tutorial on how to make them?

You buy the instructions from Earlene Moore.

If you go to earlenescakes.com she has where you can buy the instructions for $14 I believe. There might even be some pictures of how its done on her site, if Im not mistaken.

I am on there right now, where do I go to buy the instructions or what are the stands actually called?

Go to this link and scroll down to Puff Base Instructions

That is pretty..but is it sturdy enough for a heavy tiered cake?

Earlene uses it for three and four tiered cakes. Im sure it has a board under it or in with the fabric somewhere.

Here is one I found online for a square puff base, just change for round.
