Where do you get the round and square pretty silver cake stands. I was looking online and found some for ... 'choke'... $300-500!!! Tell me they aren't THAT expensive!

Yes they can be expensive...have you looked on Ebay?? They frequently have a deal or two.

Just went on EBAY and there they were, reasonably priced too!!

I found mine at Hobby Lobby, regularly $50 but I happened to catch a 50% off sale so I only paid $25.

Ditto on Hobby Lobby. They always have a 14" round silver plateau on the shelf at my hobby lobby. I only got to u se my 40% off discount but was still excited I got it. Its in the wedding department of the store. Now I need to find a gold square one!!

Does Michael's carry the plateaus? (I haven't seen them ) We don't have Hobby Lobby here in Canada

I got mine from Hobby Lobby too. That 50% off was really a great deal.

KTB4...I've looked at Michaels and did not see them. Think it is just a HL item.

I just ordered one last month from HIS designs out of Ohio. I am in NY so shipping was cheap and quick. Alot of the ones on Ebay were in CA. But I was very happy with my stand and I even got it on sale! Excited to use it again!

Wow, I was so excited to get them on EBAY I should have waited and read the rest of this string. I could have gotten them way cheaper at Hobby Lobby.

E-Favormart has a round ...try thier website

myironfurniture.com has some reasonable prices also. I'm getting an 18" square gold one for $85.

Do you have a HomeGoods/Marshall's near you? They carry all sorts of cake stands, and reasonably priced.

Do you need to own one or could you rent one for an event? Most party supply places carry them.

Thanks everyone for your tips. I ordered a 14" square and 20" round off EBAY ... (birthday present to me)! I do wonder what size is the most common?
