Cupcake tower

Posted by & filed under Birthdays, Crafts, Holiday.

For Carson’s big birthday bash I wanted to have a fun cupcake stand. This is super easy to make and really cheap.
First gather some boxes from around the house. Luckily I found some just the right size!
Wrap them up…just like a present! :)
Use glue dots to wrap the ribbon around the entire box.
Now have some fun and make it cute. I kept it pretty simple and just added a 1 I found at the craft store. All I did was paint it blue…but like I said make get as creative as you want! ;)
Banana Chocolate chip cupcakes…yum! I really don’t think I’ll take up cake decorating as my day job though! These monkey cupcakes were pretty simple…just cut vanilla wafers(big & small) and then add some dots and a mouth! I think I imagined them cuter(got the idea off allrecipes.com)…but oh well they turned out fine. :0
ta-da! I think the large boxes made all the difference… and the grand total cost me about $5! Doesn’t that look way better then a plate full of cupcakes?

    Oh, what a great idea. Once again I learn that you do not always need some fancy, expensive cake/cupcake stand. Another idea to remember!

    Hello! I luv your cupcake tower! Your a rock star in my eyes!! I have one question for you that I can't figure out……how did you do the top layer (with the polka dot accordian thing)? I have no idea how you did it. Once I get that information, I will be on my way to making one for my daughters baptism. Thanks for sharing with all of us. :D

    Dana! For the top part I glued two strips of scrapbook paper together and then I started folding in the sides one inch at a time. I'll try to post a picture…because I can't explain it very well! ;)
