Tiered Cupcake Platter
October 26, 2009 by Shelley
I am starting to obsess over adorable cupcakes. I’m sure you have noticed, but cupcakes are the new craze. They are everywhere and presentation is everything! This gorgeous homemade tiered cupcake platter stand is incredibly easy and inexpensive to make.
Are the lights going off in your head?! I know! So Simple!
Buy 3 plates. 1 Large (serving plate), 1 Medium (dinner plate), and 1 Small (dessert plate). Also buy 3 Sunday/Parfait Cups. Flip One Sundae cup over and place the largest plate on top. Vwalah! A perfect cake stand!
Keep stacking and stacking…
Fill…
and…
Watch them…
Disappear!
{I’ll claim that cutie!}
Here is a seasonal twist on the idea. 
Get Creative with this! Let us kow what you come up with. Please leave comments and links!

ummmm…. that is too cute!! i just recently started stacking plates and candleholders to create my cupcake holders. i love that it breaks down for easier storage. but your pumpkins???? omgoodness!!! LOVE IT!!
This is a great idea!
This is such a great idea! I have got to make me one!

Thanks for sharing

LOVE the pumpkin idea. I’m just worried about how sturdy the cups and plates idea would be…
It was pretty sturdy when I made it,…but you definetly don’t want kids bumping into it. You can GLUE it however, with glass glue. -If your attempting the pumpkin approach, make sure you get flat top pumpkins!
What an amazing idea. I really wish I had seen this 3 days ago, as we had cupcakes for my one year old’s birthday party and had to stick them on a cookie sheet because I had no cupcake platter! I am certainly keeping this in mind for next time.
love the plate! and the cupcakes look scrumptious!
Happy New Year!

How cute!! I love the pumpkins!
brilliant! I will definitely be using this idea in the future.
This is fabulous and so simple! I thought I had come up with a pretty cute and easy cupcake tower, but this might be even more simple…and elegant! Here’s my version for an easy cupcake tower:

Brilliant! I’ll be hitting the second hand and Sally Ann for platters and parfait cups.
One suggestion: to make the platter permanent there is an adhesive plumbers use when making those posh glass walled shower stalls to adhere one sheet of glass to another.
