How to Choose the Best Tiered Cupacke Stand
Easily make a beautiful centerpiece for your buffet table or entice buyers at your bake sale. A cupcake holder is an important part of your cupcake supplies.
Use the right tiered cupcake holder and and the simplest of cupcakes become a grand cnterpiece for a family celebration or the focal point of a community bakesale.
Take a look to the left and you'll see a large square cupcake stand that holds cupcakes will vanilla frosting and strawberry slices for accents. The top tier of the cupcake stand holds a small cake accented with strawberries at the bottom and and a starfish topper. The baker also put starfish and seashells on the table. Replacing the blueberries with strawberries would have added to the nautical theme. Adding some blueberry decorated cupcakes to the strawberry cupcakes would have made quite the patriotic cupcake display!
A large cupcake stand like the one above is perfect for a bake sale. People can see the cupcakes from a long distance and their mouths start watering. I have mini cupcakes made from the same batter with just a touch of frosting for samples so that they can taste how wonderful the big ones taste. With the weak economy, community bake sales are very competitive these days and you have to put your best sales hat on to make money for your group.
The first thing you need to consider when you're picking out your cupcake holder stand is how many cupcakes will you need to display at one time. If you're at a bake sale you can just keep adding them to your tiered cupcake stand. If you're hosting the big family reunion, who has the time. You'll probably want to set up your cupcake tree and forget about it.
You also need to think about the size of your cupcakes. If you're cupcake designs are piled high with frosting and decorations then you'll need lots of room between layers. Perhaps the top tier for the fanciest of cupcakes with the most frosting.
I love the scalloped edges of the tiered cupcake stand on the bottom. It provides an individual showcase for each cupcake. The decoration on top is an addition that you'll find at any craft supply store. There's actually a small cake on the top layer surrounded by cupcakes.

Decorating Cupcakes: #3 Sunflower and... |
Combine cupcake sales with other events and watch the combined sales increase. Our Garden Club has taken responsibilty for landscaping several traffic islands in the county. To hlep fund this, we decided to have a fall bulb sale last spring. At the last minute we thought we would add a cupcake table. One of our members did some research on YouTube and found a fantastic way to decorate cupcakes as sunflowers.
The center is actually an oreo cookie! It makes the center easy and gives the cupcake lots of height. The lady bug is an M&M with frosting on it. The leaves are fruit rollups. Each cupcake sold for $2.95!
When the cupcakes have the kind of design you see on the sunflower cupcake I like cupcake towers that are tilted a bit and show the design of the entire top cupcake. That's what you get with the tiered cupcake holder shown to the right. And that one revolves as well. The variety of angles on this tiered cupcake stand show the cupcake at a variety of angles. You can then surround that cupcake holder stand with more decorated cupcakes. So you don't have to stop your revolving display. I always use tongs to pick up the cupcakes and put them in their cupcake boxes at bake sales.

Variety of Tiered Cupcake Stands
When a group of us are baking cupcakes for a charity event or one of us is getting ready for a big party, we all klnow who has what kind of tiered cupcake holders and stands. It's not uncommon for a woman to volunteer a cupcake tower for a friend to use. It's also common for friends to show up and help decorate the cupcakes. Similar to the quilting bees that used to take place in rural communities many years ago. It's a chance for the women to share work and enjoy each others company and of course the neighborhood news.
