Hi,
The only one I've actually made so far was made from plywood. My huband cut the square shaped I wanted then made a 2" tall platform out of wood to set the plywood on. He nailed it all together and I covered the whole thing is white contact paper. Then I can cover it with various other types of foil or paper to make it pretty.

Does anyone know where can download some pics of wooden cake stands - FIL wantes to make me one.
Thanks
When I made my last bridal shower cake, I needed a stand ffor some cupcakes. I found some clear glass plates at Walmart. Immediately under them on the shelf were some sundae glasses. I turned the sundae glasses upside down and placed the plate on top. Instant cupcake or cake stand. I stacked two on top of each other and used it for the cupcake stand at the shower. I also found some candles stick holders at Dollar Tree that I could group together to hold a glass plate. I will attach a picture of the stand so you can see what I mean. The first one only cost me $2.00 to make. The second one cost me $4.00 to make. You could also use a cake drum instead of a glass plate for a temporary cake stand.
My DH bought some 2 inch thick wood and put little legs on the bottom so that we could grab the stand from under. I usually just cover the stand in fancy foil if the bride doesn't bring a cake stand or use one of my Wilton ones.
I could take some pictures and link them here if you like. They are all square and I have a 16", 12" and 10". I prefer this way because if it's not returned, I'm not out a $100 Wilton stand. I will charge for materials and labor in the contract if a bride does not return the stand.
