    Yay for me and the lack of rental places around for those damn cupcake stands! I made 2 for my wedding, both a warm white with a gorgeous pearl topcoat that I creatively painted on to maximize the pearl glow. (nothing tacky rainbowish - just a soft muted pearl) and Im putting some fine little pearls all around the edges that I routered into the shelves too.

    Im going to rent them out and maybe sell them too, now that i have to routine down pat. Lots of trial and error...but now i have study solid stands that wont smush the beautiful floral cupcakes I have planned...YAY!

    @fyrefox: It took me a while to find this out, but instead of using the upload at the bottom of the page...go to the bar right above where you're typing & look for the box to the left of the "HTML" link, click on that to see if it works! It's amazing what it can do! :) Hope it works & can't wait to see!

    Its so pretty if you saw it in front of you - the pics make the paint look a bit off - you dont see all the swirls much - just the way the flash hit it i guess - but it was fun! thanks ladies:-)

    steph - I got sheets of wood and cut out the circles. routered them all, primed and painted. for the middle part is a long oak dowel. then little wooden knobs for the feet and voila! (ok - so it took me a few trial and errors to get good circles and make a sturdy design - but hey Im on mat leave and my pookie helped me cutting outside in the snow ! LOL!

    That looks awesome and BTW I really like the swirls. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like things that look like they came from a factory.

    Very nice! I paid about $50 for mine, and it's plastic! Nice plastic, mind you, and I'm completely pleased with it, but yours is very classy looking!
