DIY: Cupcake Stands for Weddings
- 1). Gather all supplies. Supplies can be found at cake decorating stores and most craft stores.
- 2). Attach ribbon to the cake dummies. Carefully pin ribbon at one end of the dummy and wrap over the entire surface of the dummy, overlapping as you go. Use another pin to secure the ribbon when finished.
- 3). Paint the surface or glue decorative paper to the cake stands. If painting, apply two coats of spray paint and wait 30 minutes for it to dry. If gluing on paper, first cut out the paper in the sizes needed. Then, glue the paper to the cake stand using a glue stick.
- 4). Glue cake dummies to cake boards. Ensure that sizes are matched accordingly--the smallest dummy to the smallest cake board. Line up the seams of the ribbon and use this as the back of the stand.
