Cheap Wedding Cake Stands

If you have ordered your wedding cake or cupcakes from a bakers check to see how much it would cost to hire one from them. The ideal would be to get them to include the cake stand for free to gain your business, so get your negotiating shoes on and start haggling!

You don't always have to have a cake stand, if your doesn't have tiers then you could have the cake on the thickest cake board you can find. To display the cake you will need a strong box or tin that is the same size as the cake. Place the box on a table that already has a table cloth on, next place another table cloth over the box and let it drape over the original cloth. When you are happy with the effect place the cake on the top. Decorate the table with flowers and it will look great. I have often used the bride's bouquet on the cake table to add to the decoration, it looks great in the photographs too!

Cupcake wedding cake stands are difficult to replicate as they are designed solely to show off the cupcakes. The cheapest place that I have found them is Ebay, and it is also a good idea to keep your eye on the sales. If your wedding is fairly small you could use the old fashioned cake stands that are great for a lovely afternoon tea. You could have one cake stand for each table. Ask your older relatives if they have one that you could borrow and also have a look in the charity shops as you could pick up a bargain!
