Hi! You are about to save my wedding from the scourge of an ugly cake stand! Thank you!

I have three identical 6-layer cakes that I want to put on three stands of different heights.

Our local Dollar Store has TONS of glassware, and a lot of it is tinted… so I’m going to try going that route, and if you’d like, I’ll be happy to post the results.

(alternatively, we also have some chunky pillar candle pedestals and would need to find plates for them; then, we would papier-mache with tissue paper and lacquer, or paint and lacquer… which would also be lovely, but the glass would be so much easier!! And lovely with a gold doily.)

I also like to use contact paper. Even more now the paper has more fashionable designs, rather than the typical plaid and grandma flowers.

I’m a big fan of #5. I love projects where I can utilize contact paper.

Great ideas! I love cake plates and pedestals…I need intervention. haha. This helps feed my addiction! I can’t wait to DIY one (cake included)!
