A wonderful way to make a dessert bar is to take an eclectic mix of different cake stands that have the same theme (scroll down for those photos).  

Below the first 7 photos, you'll find photos of gold cake stands that I have sold.  While I don't make them out of glass any more, it can give you some ideas if you search for your own plates to make a cake stand.  

If you like wooden cake stands, I do make custom cake stands that can be painted gold.  Here are some beautiful updated photos of what I currently sell.  In the photo below, I love the gold cake stand and the way it pops with the gold chairs.  


Here are some more of the wooden ones I paint gold that I sell in my Etsy shop (click here to go my Etsy Shop

This one was used by a baker in Barbados.
This is in my own studio, but made for a baker in Oklahoma.



The glass ones I used to make

The cake plate on top of the little one with the gold fringe can be duplicated to fit any pedestal.
 This is from line of custom cake stand line.  Pictured are The Jessie (8 in tall), the Lucy (6 in tall) and the Audrey (4 in tall).  They can be ordered in any color.  The photos at the top of this post do a much better job of capturing the exact shade of gold which is a lot easier to do with a better camera and the right light :o).







You can pretty much do anything... just pick a plate and a pedestal.  You can put gold with gold, or gold with crystal.  If you can't find a real medal gold, just find a cool looking pedestal that you think would hold up a plate well and paint it gold.

Tea Cup Party Favors

Here is an awesome idea for a parting gift at a wedding, reception, tea party, bridal shower-- any kind of party!

Take a tea cup.

Put hot chocolate into a baggie.  Tie the top with lace.  This particular lace is actually vintage lace which made it even more charming.

For this couple, I also put tags on it with directions and a sweet saying on it: "A little something warm from our home to yours."

I absolutely love these and they looked beautiful all set out on a table.  The guests were delighted with the treat and had fun picking out their tea cup.






I have 25 of these adorable tea cups filled with hot chocolate left from a recent wedding.  I also have a gigantic bag of hot chocolate that I will throw in with it.  I think the bag would fill maybe about 100 cups.  Each tea cup cost about $3-4 to make, depending on how cheap you can find the tea cup.  I am charging $50 for 25 cups and the bag of hot chocolate.  What a bargain!

Email or leave a comment with your contact info if you are interested and we can arrange a pick-up.  Twin Cities area only unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for shipping ;o)
