Create a Cake Stand - best for large cakes

What You Will Need To Make A Cake Stand:

• A plate with a flat bottom
• Candle stick holder

• E6000 or super glue
• Spray paint (optional)

How To Make A Cake Stand:

1. When selecting your candle holder and plate make sure to find sturdy one as all the weight of the cake and plate will be supported by the candle holder. When in doubt choose a solid rather than a hollow candle holder that has a wide base to help increase the cake stands stability.
2. Apply E6000 or super glue to the entire top of the candle holder and stick the base of the plate onto the candle holder so that the candle holder is exactly in the middle of the plate. Allow the glue to try for the amount of time specified on the packaging, and clean up any glue that might have spread down the side of the candle stick using a damn cloth.
3. If desired the cake stand can be spray painted a color to match the party theme. When spray painting make sure to paint in a well-ventilated area and protect nearby items that you do not wish to get covered in paint.
