A solid block of styrofoam? http://www.raisethecake.com/index.html
I'm guessing it would be styrofoam too.
You can get a 12" square cake dummy for $6, then the fabric would cost maybe $5, plus the ribbon and decorative pin...so you could make the whole thing for $20...making a bigger size probably wouldn't be too much more. It would also look nice to use a round and then pleat the fabric...just attach it in the center with straight pins and stick them far enough down that it was level.
thanks Texas, I was thinking if it was styrofoam, to have my styrofoam guy cut a 6 or 8 inch high 18 inch square
Kinda cool, you could easily make and sell these along with a regular cake order...for an extra $75-$100.
Although there were not many I really cared for personally.... I did like the dark green floral one. I think I like the dressier stands made of metal or glass or etc...these seem alot more casual.
I saw these a while back, but just read this part of their info: "All stands come in 3 lightweight, one-time use sizes..."
?? So what, at midnight it turns into a pumpkin? Ahh, I get it.. that's if you set your cake directly on the board..
I guess it just means that after one use it will get yucky from the frosting...and/or dented (if styrofoam) depending on how heavy the cake is.
Whenever I see styrofoam cupcake stands, they say they're a single-use product. I think this might be single-use for the same reason, that styrofoam really isn't that durable for repeated use...if it was, they wouldn't make plastic ice chests
