CAKE STANDS One of my favorite things are cake stands. There are so many different way to utilize them within your home. The possibilities are truly endless.
Traditionally, cake stands have been used for cakes and pies but more recently people have began to use them in more imaginative ways.
One clever way is to put them as centerpieces on your dining table. You could simple lay flowers and moss on top of the stand or you could use small bud vases with flowers in each one and surround those with a large vase with more flowers in the center. People will be in awe of your creativity and your table will look fantastic!
Another great way to use cake stands are to use them as decorative elements within your home. A beautiful book propped on the cake stand or a birds nest are always lovely to see within a home. Do not feel pressured to keep the cake stand in or around the kitchen area. They are a great addition to any book shelf or piece of furniture within your home.
My favorite way to use a cake tier is to use it as a jewelry stand. The best way to display your jewelry on a cake tier is to use common colors to create a unitized theme. I suggest only using your costume jewelry not your fine jewelry as it will be exposed and on display.
If you do not already have a cake stand or cake tier there is a very simple way to make one yourself. You do not need to be artistic or crafty in the slightest to create a beautiful stand. All you do is simply take a beautiful plate and a small candle stick and glue them together. To begin apply a strong ceramic/metal glue around the top of the candle stick and then place the plate on top. I would let the glue set for several hours before placing anything on top of the stand.
I hope this inspires you to dust of your cake stand that is hidden within your cabinets and use it in a creative capacity!
Love, Lili
