Cake stands!

In case anyone hadn't noticed, I love baking. I loveeee it. 

So of course I need adorable things to put my yummy baking on. Obviously. 

I saw this on pinterest.

Why yes, I do need to make those cute cake stands!

Maybe in different colors however, more my taste, less.... girly shall I say?

Yes, I was very tempted to make them black, but don't want the cake stand to take away from my yummy baking of course... I still have one more to go, maybe the last cake stand will be black!

Now to start with really ugly stuff. $1 each at Value Village. 

Paint and go. One purple and one aqua. Oh and if you are wondering why the 'bottom' looks so weird. It's because I taped it up so it would be clear on the bottom to 'hide' little accents! Like a matching flower or corresponding item.

Then glue them together. TADA!

Black forest cake on top! Ok I need to take some better pictures of it, but after I made the cake everyone was dying to eat it. I didn't want to look like a weirdo photographing my cake stand like a crazy person.

Black Forest Cake is super easy, well the way I make it is. I just make any old chocolate cake. Wait for it to cool and then put one layer down then add a full can of cherry pie filling to the middle. Then plop the second layer on top. Add whipped cream, I just use 3 cups of whipping cream to 1/3 cup powered sugar. and whip and whip (the boring part). Volia!

Just add a little chocoate and cherries and done!

Last time I just reserved some cherries from the pie filling but this time I had maraschinos.

So good! Rave review. I love the attention I get from this one! Be careful everyone will want seconds!

There is all three!

Can't wait to use them at a party! :D
