To make an original dessert stand you will need different tableware – cups, glasses, bowls, saucers and plates! Look in the cupboard. You will surely find plates and cups in different shapes and colors that you very rarely or never use. Maybe you love flea markets or garage sales and have a collection of vintage teacups and saucers or dessert plates. Why not make them the centerpiece of any festive table? A DIY cake stand can be used to display seasonal fruits, cupcakes, candy, homemade pastry, etc. You can experiment with different shapes – round, square, and height of the platters. This will add visual interest to your table.

DIY Cake stand from plates and bowls:

Hot glue gun

A bowl (or a mug)

A plate

Instructions:

Choose the dishes by color. Arrange them and see how it will look. Use unexpected options with unusual shapes. Make sure the bowls are wide enough to support the stand and the food. You can choose matching colors or mix and match, depending on your idea.

Apply a thin layer of hot glue on the bottom rim of the bowl (or mug). Be careful not to burn your fingers.

Use your handmade dessert stand to serve cake, fruits or other sweet and savory treats.

Do not wash in dishwasher. Simply hand wash the stand with warm water.
