How to Make a Cake Tier and Other Decorations

Do you have two cake pedastals of graduating sizes? You could put the smaller of the two on the top, and arrange your cupcakes on that.

Alternatively, a large platter and a smaller plate with a pedastal of some sort (maybe a pillar candle holder, or a bowl turned upside down). You could secure it with double stick tape.

simple and cheap. Find two or three boxes lying around and put then turned over on your table. Put the smaller one on top of the larger one. You can either drape some fabric over them that you already have or you can wrap them in paper or tissue that matches your theme. Then place your cupcakes on them. Easy and CHEAP!! I do this all the time on my tables to give it visual interest!

For the Tinkerbell theme, you can do the table in lime green and pink and of course sprinkle something on the table (sugar maybe) that can be fairy dust.

In regards to the decorations, you can try going to a Dollar Tree store and they might have some fairy type decorations you can use.

Love the advice,

I would also think of checking into www.familyfun.com They have some great ideas! :)

Also--Wal-Mart has some Tinker Bell cupcake baking paper. You can use colored sugar sprinkles to decorate the cupcakes.

You can also do theme colored balloons, streamers, curled ribbons, also, sparkle confetti to resemble pixie dust....marsh mellows instead of cotton balls maybe to keep all things edible?

Also check your dollar stores/target's dollar bin and see if you can find additional themed goodies.

Good luck and most important, have fun!

You can get some round hat boxes and use those or get cake boards, put columns in between and use those. If you have more questions you can email me. I make customized cakes, cupcakes and cookies. You can see my website too: http://www.brilliantcakes.com
