Making A Cake Stand Like Those From Raise The Cake
Decorating By mlwideman Updated 3 Nov 2011 , 5:27pm by blushingbride
I just discovered the designer cake stand site called Raise the Cake. The stands are fabric covered with ribbon and broaches. It looks like they are relatively easy to make if you are crafty. The website says the stands are lightweight but can hold the weight of the tallest cakes. Has anyone ever tried making something similar? Do you think they used Styrofoam as the base? The ones they design are meant for one time use.
Wow, just checked them out. They look like they're just 4" high square dummies (styrofoam). Some of them sure add to the cake - great idea really!
I imagine that's all it would be - styrofoam covered with fabric and ribbon. But I could be wrong - just judging by the pictures.
WOW Nanefy - that's a great stand. Where did you find the center brace? I love it.

"Raise the Cake cake stands and cupcake stands are hassle free and are meant to be used on a one time basis, but if you wish to wash off the frosting and use it again, go for it. If you choose to toss it, be sure to remove the keepsake crystal embellishment." From the FAQ section of their website.
This looks even more like a cake dummy.
Have you checked out the Crystal Palace brand of cupcake trees and cake pop stands? They're made out of clear acrylic, so they don't overwhelm your beautiful cake, cupcakes or cake pops. Plus, you can use them over and over again. See them at www.crystalpalacecupcaketree.com.
