It Just Keeps Gettin’ Better
Behold…our latest creation!!
I found a super fun photo online of a black & white cupcake stand so after much consideration we decided we would go with cupcakes in lieu of the traditional wedding cake. (What? Moi going untraditional…NO!!!) 
Of course, we agreed it had to be classy and fun, certainly not like a fourth grade bake sale type cupcake display. No way. So after some discussion with Aunt Pam, who will be doing our cake/cupcakes, the three of us came up with a design and just a few trips to the store and several hours later the above photo is what we came up with!!!
Don’t be frightened by the crazy hook like sculpture on top, it’s an ornament stand and we’re considering using it, but we’ll see. We do plan to have a small cake on the very top. I was really hoping to use black cupcake liners, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. Seems odd…especially around Halloween. Grrr.
The cupcake stand isn’t actually finished yet but I couldn’t wait to share it with the world! 
We plan to add black trim and maybe some pink ribbon and bows around the boxes. But quite honestly, I think it could easily be used as is. At just over three and a half feet tall this thing is sturdy, and heavy. Made with plywood, foam board and fabric.
Do you want to know the best part…we designed it so the panels are completely interchangeable!!! How awesome is that?! We can swap them out and reuse this baby for special events or holidays. Or maybe resell or rent it! Or, knowing me, if I change my mind I can reupholster the whole thing! Does it surprise anyone that I have polka-dot and stripe fabric too, just in case?! LOL
Thank you Aunt Pam for your ideas and inspiration and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Andy for being so awesome and handy. Just goes to show that we are SO good together!!
OMG-I Love this! Great job!!! I want one of these for my next event (after the wedding of course). You definitely should think about selling these
I Love it.. your cake holder.. the craft room.. vinyl you did so far is CUTE.. I’m gettin super excited to come there I wish we had time for hanging out and crafting..
I bought black cup cake liners a while ago at CakeWorks in Campbell, CA. If you want to ask them if they still carry them, I would gladly get them for you and ship them to you…
What a gorgeous cupcake tower! I love the pattern and I love that you can change it up!
Looks great!!
I love this! It would be perfect for my wedding. Can you give detailed instructions? Would you consider selling it???
Oh man, My wedding is in two months and I have been looking everywhere for a cupcake stand like this. Could you consider making me one in a different color? I would love to buy it from you, or the instructions on how to make it would be awesome.
Hi Kristen! Yes, we can make these in different colors/patterns/sizes. If you want to order e-mail me or check out more info HERE. Or, I do have very basic instructions posted HERE.
Hi we are making one of those cupcake stands for our wedding and have the demask theme as well. Just wondering where you found the demask fabric? Also do you remember how many meters of fabric was required.
thank you…..it is beautiful!!!!
Hi Amber!
I got the fabric at Hobby Lobby. I usually get 3 yards for the giant stand…probably more than you need but enough if you make a mistake.
Good luck!
You say you sell them on your site that you list the link. However all I can find are the PDF directions. How much do you charge for these? Are they assembled when you ship them? How much is shipping?
Hi Ashley!
We did sell the cupcake stands but they are so expensive to ship (about $200 for the large stands in shipping alone). I thought I updated the posts to take out that we were selling them until we are happy with a new, lighter-weight design. I’ll have to double check my posts and remove that statement until we are able to sell them again. Sorry for the confusion!
I am having over 200 guests at my backyard wedding and I think this stand is absolutely wonderful. I can’t seem to locate the directions and dimensions for your giant cupcake stand. Is it just the lack of sleep or am I missing it somewhere??? =O)
Hi Michelle!
The basic plans are here: http://themeckleys.com/blog/2009/01/giant-diy-cupcake-stand/ but we do have a much more detailed PDF with photos here:http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=1579925
You could use the PDF to make just about any size if you change the dimensions as needed. =)
