Happy Wednesday darlings! I have a confession. I am IN LOVE with something else besides my hubby. It is cake stands. Oh how I love a stunning pedestal cake stand. I am always thinking of creative ways to use these lovely culinary display pieces in other ways besides to perch cake upon. I really am enamored with them. The other day I came across this idea from the Rachel ray show featuring budget friendly party planning. Get ready ladies it's brilliant... a DIY cake stand made from a plate and candlestick! Yes, really, it's that simple and it looks amazing.

| Pie plates are brilliant for this idea |
You will need:
- Gorilla glue or other strong glue
- plate
- candlestick or Goblet
- Spray Paint
Now simply Paint the parts of your cake stand you want to paint. Let dry completely. Now apply a large amount of gorilla glue to the top of the candlestick and place in the middle of a turned over plate. Place a heavy book on top to help the pieces adhere and let dry 24 hrs. Voila! An inexpensive, one of a kind, vintage looking cake stand. You could even go all out and get pretty with Ribbon, a Monogram letter, or even make it tiered. The possibilities are endless. I plan on making a three tiered beauty for my kitchen island. Just make sure you always hand wash your cake stands.
Enjoy Pretty ladies, and have a perfect day!
