DIY— Cake Stands for Yummy Cakes and Cupcakes

You hear the word ‘cake,’ and the term ‘Yum’ is pretty instantaneous as a reply that comes out of your mouth. The whole thing about cakes and confectionaries is pretty dramatically appealing and manages to elate anyone, regardless of age to go a little berserk to have them all.

Well, if you are a fan of yummy cakes and good decorations around, then you might want to give making beautiful cake/cupcake stands a try yourself!

So in this week, we are going to tell you how you can create beautiful cake stands for some yummy and savoring cakes.

Things you will need

- Old microwave plates

- Candle stands

- Pie dishes

- Spray paint

- Glue

1. Take a candle stand and on top of it attach one of the old microwave plate or a pie dish.
   
   
   
2. Make sure that you use good glue so that the objects are fixated properly to each other and don't fall apart.
   
3. Take a spray paint—colour can be of your choice. You can keep it plain black, blue, or white if you want a monochromatic look, or go for multiple colors for a more colourful outlook.
   
4. Spray the first coat of paint upside down. As you leave it to dry, take another stand and repeat the same step of attaching it to a pie dish.
   
   
   
5. You will need altogether three coats of spray paint, neatly done, for a clean finish and shiny appearance.
   
6. Once that’s done, you have your all new cake stand, completely made by you!

No More Window Shopping

Window shopping is a cruel game between consumers and brands, an unfair one that usually results in big brands having their way with their customers. Sometimes it’s a matter of wanting rather than needing and that is what gets you caught in the never ending “should I or shouldn't I?” problem.

There has to be a way to stand up to over-priced commodities that you simply ‘must have,’ take the power into your own hands and fight back. There is a way, but many are too afraid to try it, we can’t really understand why. It’s simple enough if you have the right tools and material.

Here are five things that you wanted, which you can now make at home by yourself.

5. And finally, a Keezer Source
