Love this crystal!
See, oh so loverly!
This past Tuesday eve I was out for a coffee date with some of my crafty girlfriends. One of them is recently engaged, so of course there was a lot of conversation about her upcoming wedding. We looked at dresses on our phones, brainstormed color choices, contemplated overall wedding style. You know, an evening of grand fun and inspiring wedding talk! Her plan is to have a 50′s inspired tea party with dainty desserts. She mentioned she would like to forgo flowers for centerpieces, instead using 2 or 3-tier stands to display a selection of petite fours. This of course sent me off asking about using vintage or new, round or square, plain or fancy. You can find lovely vintage tiered stands in thrift shops that would work perfectly for a 50′s inspired tea party, but there are also some lovely new choices.
There is always the chance that you won’t find what you want readymade. But, if you find plates that you love, you can make them yourself! I found some lovely inspiration and tutorials on how to make 2-tier stands that I must show her and you of course!

Cindy over at Skip to my Lou posted a tutorial on how to make this cupcake stand earlier this week. Love those plates!
She led me to the Giver’s Log, where she found her inspiration.

AmberLee posted a tutorial on how to make an interchangeable tiered stand earlier this year. All I can say is look at that flower hardware! Soooooo pretty!

Wandering Chopsticks has a lovely tutorial on How to Make a Homemade Tiered Cupcake Stand that doesn’t require any motorized tools.
B, time to get our craft on!
I just got back from a girlie weekend across the border in New York State and oh mama, did we shop! Not only did I source out some fantastic crafty and party supply shops, but I picked up the loverliest cupcake stand!
Have you been introduced to the Robert Gordon WireWare cupcake stand?
If you have, you have probably been coveting it as long as I have! So girly and delicate, it screams tea party! I have just not found its equal in Canada. But lucky, lucky me this weekend! Up on the top shelf in the Housewares department at the local Target, were two lovelies waiting for me to take them home. Almost identical to the RG stand! There were only two, so I bought them both.
So if you are looking for these sweet darlings for your next batch of cupcakes my American and travelling Canadian friends, get yourself to a Target. Just don’t go to Transit Rd, Depew, I bought them out.
