I’ve received emails asking about making cupcake stands for parties or large events like weddings. Large stands can be difficult to make if you don’t have a wood shop or have the time and resources to make one. If you are baking cupcakes for a large wedding, engagement party, or special event, you’ll want to a nice display. A cupcake stand can be the centerpiece for your decorations and also highlight your baking talents. A cupcake stand can be customized to your theme with wrapping paper and ribbon around the edges. Adding black and white silk ribbon can add elegance to your wedding cupcake stand. Pink, blues, and yellow ribbon would be great choices for a cute baby shower cupcake tower.

I was fortunate enough to be contacted by Carole at Green Party Goods last week. Carole is allowing me to giveaway one large cupcake stand that holds 125 cupcakes. The square cupcake stand has 5 tiers and stands 20″ tall. The cupcake stand is not only lightweight and made from durable cardboard, but you can also reuse it. The stand folds down and stores easily. Now you have a great excuse to invite 125 guests over to your next party Check out Carole’s site as she has other fun cupcake items like wrappers, carriers, and toppers.

Be sure to subscribe to my blog here and leave a comment below to enter the giveaway. One comment per reader and winner will be chosen at random next Monday, September 6th. Good luck!
