Wedding cakes are elegant creations. Much thought and planning go into getting just the right wedding cake, but the cake stand is often overlooked. Bakeries frequently charge extra for the cake stand and some may not do anything more than set the cake on weak, foil-covered cardboard. Weak support for the wedding cake results in a crumbled mess. Making a strong, beautiful wedding cake stand yourself is an excellent solution that presents the cake attractively as well as giving it firm support. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Make an Inexpensive Tent for Weddings
Making your own tent for a wedding or other outdoor occasion can be an inexpensive alternative to renting one, especially if your party is small. In addition, this is a very easy project to assemble and disassemble.
This 20 by 15 foot tent can be staked into the ground, or cement blocks can be used to stabilize the poles. Any white, durable fabric can be used to create the tent cover (canvas, tent fabric, nylon). White PVC pipes can be left bare, or covered with fabric wraps, string lights, or flower or plant swags.
Become a Wedding Coordinator
