    We are having a smaller sized wedding - around 75 guests - and are planning to have a tower of cupcakes instead of a traditional cake. All of the towers I keep coming across online are $80+ which seems absurd. The bakery we are getting the cupcakes from doesn't sell them or have them for rent.

     Does anyone know a good place to purchase a cupcake tower? Or another cool way to display them? (having them spread out on a table just won't have the same effect...)

     

    THANKS!

    I know Bed Bath and Beyond has them as seen here.  But, I was actually needing one for a baby shower I was going to throw, and found one of Craigslist for like half off.  If that doesn't work for you, check out BB&B and that way you can at least use one of their 20% off coupons.

    If you're looking for a DIY approach, try this site:

    http://www.allthingscupcake.com/2008/10/16/diy-cupcake-stands/

    Some of these stands have strongly attempted to lure me away from my traditional cake. :)  They look like they'd be super fun to make, and are very pretty!

    Best of luck!

    I saw an adorable one at Crate and Barrel a while ago. I'm not sure how much it was, but it was cute! :)

    Try to rent one from another baker, or better yet, from a cake supply store. My mom just rented a really large one for my shower and it is only $10 to rent! We aren't even getting cupcakes from them. :)

    You can get them at Oriental Trading Co-online ordering. I have two that I use for my classroom at school.

    I just ordered mine this week actually! I ordered mine here: http://www.cupcaketree.com/ I like the idea of decorating it however I want. There are 2 sizes I believe.

    Is the wedding being catered? If so the catering company may have one you can use or rent.

    I have been looking for a few of these myself and so far I have found them at the following places:

     

    Joann Fabrics

    Michaels

    Hobby Lobby

     Craigslist

    Ebay

    William and Sonoma

    Bed Bath and Beyond

    Walmart

    Target

     I also recently saw at Family Dollar (or Dollar Tree) a mini cupcake stand

    I have also seen on here some great tutorials on how to build your own cupcake stand or tower similar to the cake stand ones and etc...

     

    Hope that helps
