How to make a disposable cup cake stand (quickly!)

I don’t own a tiered cupcake stand as I have nowhere to store it and I would barely use it….. But I’ve discovered you can easily make your own disposable one in minutes for your party and they look great.

How to make your own disposable tiered serving tray

What you’ll need:

2 disposable cups
3 disposable plates
Super glue

Instructions:

Glue a disposable cup to the middle of a disposable plate.
Place glue on rim of cup and stick another plate on top.
Repeat to make another layer if you need and leave to dry.
Get baking and then display the cakes or biscuits on your stand.

Watch the YouTube clip for video instructions:

I love this idea; it’s fast, easy and will look great for parties.

Could you use one of these at your next party? SHARE with us in the comments below.

Now that is very cute and certainly worth remembering.

Great idea! You would need to be careful though as disposable plates can be very flimsy. Don’t want a collapse of cakes

Well, this is just brilliant and I absolutely love it. Who would have thought!? And I agree, I don’t have anywhere to store one so don’t own one. I’ll definitely be using this idea for many things – not just cakes!

What a fantastic idea. So easy to store in the cupboard until you needed one.

Nice way to involve the kids for their own birthday party and let them make this themselves.

I love the idea. But wouldn’t easily tip over? As it seems a bit light weight. I would be inclined to place weights of some kind so it would sit better

Perfect for a children’s party when things can often be broken.

An alternative is to use empty washed aluminium food cans wrapped with plain or patterned paper.

Easy to do, but sorry it doesn’t look very nice. And by the time you buy all the materials is it not just easier to buy a real stand that you can use over and over?

I had a cupcake stand but never saw the need. This seems really practical and looks very lovely as well.

A great way to display the cakes and you do this at a picnic or park as well!
