Hi everyone!!

I am looking for a cupcake stand similar to those that Pinkcake box uses. I want one that there is not much of a gap between the tiers.

Thanks cupcations...I actually already have an acrylic stand but wanted one like the pinkcakebox. I am going to look at ebay to see what I find...thanks

Normita, don't like your acyrlic stand you have, I was interested in buying one, would appreciate any comments concerning this before I buy one.

I have this cupcake tower:

It is clear but it was so inexpensive that I'm considering getting 1 or 2 more and using that special plastic paint to make a white one & a black one. The clear one can be fun to decorate INSIDE the tubes w/curly ribbon or little lights. The whole thing comes apart for cleaning.

Thanks for the info and speedy reply!

I was also looking for a cupcake stand that was similar to the ones seen on Pink cake box's site. I emailed them to see if they would tell me where the were purchased. They were so nice enough to get right back to me and let me know that they custom make each stand for each client! Now I want to know how the heck do they do that!!!!

My DH is very handy but I'm not sure where to start!!! any help would be appreciated!

Chloe's Custom Cake Stands look similar.

I just built my own cake stand similar to that (only square) but its the same process for a round one. I found that since I had the tools, it was MUCH cheaper to build my own than to buy one.



I used a single sheet of 1/2" plywood, some trim boards, a 5 ft section of ABS pipe, a threaded rod and a couple of nuts.

Normita, The pinkcakebox stand looks like its fabricated in acrylic /plastic making it sturdy but light weight (although must more weight than the cardboard variety). I would head over to TAP Plastic (there's a store in Stockton) and take the picture with you. When I lived in California, I found them very helpful when I wanted to make something in plastic. They will help you select the correct thickness of acrylic sheets, cut them to size and will probably even give you advice as o how to work the sheets with the acrylic tube down the center. They you too can rent the stand for $150 ...wow, I never realized the profit margin in stand rentals! Good luck and let us know how it works out.

That is beautiful!! I know that my Husband who is very handy will be able to help me, is there any coating to it? did you paint it? I'm afraid that with just a coat of pain it wouldn't be food safe? I can't wait to try to make one like this!!! Thanks again

Thanks!

I used a glossy paint so that it can be wiped down and sanitized. I'll try to take some more pictures of the individual pieces tomorrow and post them so you can see how it goes together.

But basically you can make it any height you want it, as all the pieces come apart. This stand held about 120 cupcakes but they were fairly spread out, you could probably fit more if you set them closer together.

The hardest part of the project was cutting the pipe so that it was level. Its also store well as you can flip the base over and all the other pieces nest inside of it.

This looks just like the PCB stand...

From that same website, you can order it in white.

Thanks everybody for their helpful links and suggestions. Unfortunately, I posted this thread months ago and since then have purchased a cupcake stand from "the cupcake tower". I love it!! It's so elegant and I can put ribbon around the edges which I love. But I want a square one too...maybe I'll have hubby make me one...then again, I need it in this century lol!! Love hubby to death, but having him do something for me is like waiting for piggies to fly

$150 for rental is crazy!! I'm only charging $25...which is dirt cheap!! I should start charging more!!
