Is anybody DIY'ing their cake stand?

If you have one close to you, try Homegoods. I know it's not diy, but I've seen posts about them having very reasonable prices.

U can make it out of solid foam board. paint decorate or add flowers to it. you can also use a plain sheet of glass and place on top of low square vases with some led lights in them. check it out u gonna spend very little

I made one out of solid Styrofoam for less than $30.00. Sorry it's side ways

I've heard Styrofoam is very good for that. Just be sure it's sturdy enough to hold it and very even as each layer tends to move a bit.

That's cute Andrea! I am making my own cake... but not the cake stand haha

My aunt had her tables skirted. So, what she did was use a sturdy hat box under the table cloth. There was enough slack for her to drape the cloth over the box and table. She used a thumb tack to steady the cloth, then turned it to give it a swirled effect. She then skirted around the table cloth. It looked awesome! We are doing the exact same thing to create tiers to our candy buffet! As cheap as you can get and super easy.

I found this "as is" at TJ Maxx for I think $40. Pretty sure it started its life as a side table or lazy susan. Added some spray paint and voila! Here's the before and after, ignore the mess

Most of these cake stands are less than $50 and there is a wide array of styles.

It's sturdy. I do cakes as a side business and have made them before. I actually got my materials from the game supply store and some of the inspiration for making it.

@Sweetbean I wanted to make my own cake but my family tile me absolutely not. They want me to have as little as possible to do
