I really like Cake Pops. And, I think they make great party favors. Also, they are less messy than a cake. So, for my birthday, instead of a birthday cake - I made this...
The Task: Make a cake pop stand in the shape of a birthday cake to hold my cake pop party favors at my birthday party.
The Ingredients: 1 pack of plastic gift wrap (3 sheets), ribbon, flat head sewing pins, party hat, toothpicks, 3 floral styrofoam rings of various sizes, hot glue gun
The Purchase Locations: Michael's Arts & Crafts (for the ribbon...always hit the clearance bin first; the larger foam ring), Dollar Tree (everything else!)
The Cost: Approx. $10.00
It only took me: about 30 minutes
How to:
1. Cover each foam ring with a piece of plastic gift wrap. I pinned the wrap to the bottom of each ring with sewing pins.
2. Wrap a ribbon around each ring. I used sewing pins to hold the ribbon in place.
3. Push 4 toothpicks halfway into the top of the largest foam ring. Place the toothpicks around the ring a few inches apart for each other.
4. Place the middle sized ring on top of the larger ring and push it down over the tooth picks. This makes the stand secure.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the smallest foam ring.
6. Glue the party hat to the top tier.
7. Get/Make some cakepops and gently push them into the tiers.
This was the best picture I got of the final project...'cause the cake pops went FAST!
This stand can be used over and over again! Just separate the rings, remove the ribbon, remove the gift wrap and start over with new ribbon and wrap.
