Take a pair of candlesticks – any colour – so dont be freaked out that they are pepto bismol pink or sewer green. (I bought mine from a local charity shop for ?1.99 for the pair! Mine were an awful mix of blue and white pattern – typical i forgot to take a pic before i sprayed them!)
Take them outside and sit them on plenty of newspaper before spray painting them with Rustoleum – I used gloss white, the array of colours these sprays come in are enough to set you off on a spraying frenzy!! lol Leave to dry completely before applying a second coat.
Using a very strong adhesive to attach a plate to the top of one of the stands – use Pinflair glue, this one seems to be highly recommended! You dont want it collapsing when you remove cakes from one side!
You could always use a dinner and a tea plate to make a 2 tier cakestand.
Or just keep them seperate for 2 different size cakestands – one for a victoria sponge and the other for little matching cupcakes!
Of course you could go simply for the all classic white – the whole point is when youre making it yourself you have free reign to either go all out and design something thats a complete one off….or something classic that you can use again and again.
Please link back to me if you give this a go – i would love to see what you make! 🙂
