Cake stands come in so many variations that it can easily become difficult to decide which will best fit your specific need. Even if you are making an arrangement for a large event, you probably want to stay away from very large cake stand displays. If the event is a wedding then by all means go all out but for everything else, a single or double stand is usually sufficient. For events such as birthdays, anniversaries, showers, and even large family reunions do not require anything more than a 3 tier cake stand, unless one is specifically requested by the guest of honor or party planner. Instead of making a multiple tiered cake for such events, consider making a cup cake stand arrangement instead. Cupcakes work exceptionally well for larger gatherings because they are portioned just right as a nice treat after a dinner or other celebratory event.

Wedding cake stands are supposed to be elaborate so it is definitely wise to use a 3 tier or 4 tier cake stand arrangement for such an event. When determining the type of stand, make sure it is consistent with other wedding accessories such as centerpiece vases, dinnerware, silverware, or even the color of the accents in the wedding reception décor. Such details are important to keep consistent because the décor should be seamless and matching throughout.

Wedding cake stand arrangements do not have to be expensive. You can pull off a wonderful arrangement on a simple plastic stand as long as the overall decoration and arrangement is elegant and unique. The material of the stand is likely to be become blended in with the cake and decorations anyway. The base does however have to be a little more elegant or decorative because that is definitely an area that will be noticeable by guests.

Glass cake stand arrangements are becoming more and more popular because they are simple yet elegant once the cake is in place. You can add more decorative elements like flowers, leaves, and other such items if you want to cover up some of the glass but it really isn’t necessary. Glass is also easily matched throughout the rest of the wedding décor. Glass vases can be used for the centerpieces and candy or treat bowls can also be strategically situated throughout. Most stands result in a tiered tree or cascade effect with the larger tier as the base. Others cascade to the side or horizontally. The tree stand arrangement is by far the most popular and elegant but you can switch it up by choosing a stand that has square tiers versus round. Square or odd shaded stands add a modern twist that is sure to make a conversation piece at your next event.

Wholesale Cake Boxes

Wholesale cake boxes are no longer merely functional. Today, many people with occasions calling for special cakes want the packaging to make as a significant of a statement as the cake itself. Beyond protecting the cake, bakers, wedding planners, caterers, and others want the packaging to be a memorable presentation worthy of the occasion as well as the contents included. Purchasing specially-designed and arranged wholesale cake boxes and boards has become almost as much of a job as designing, baking, and preparing the cake itself.

Looking to buy cake boxes wholesale? The boxes have been used by many bakers for a very long time as a method for packaging cakes for a particular occasion or event. However, wedding planners and caterers have changed things up a bit by using even more creativity to reflect the occasion as acutely as the cake itself. The plain, utilitarian white cake box is no longer acceptable to brides, or wedding planners, or other banquet or business planners who are working with a specific theme or décor.

You can find bulk amounts of cake boxes at local retailers but it is definitely cheaper to find wholesale box suppliers online. Suppliers usually charge less per box when you order larger amounts at one time. Most online suppliers also allow you to design boxes to your thematic specifications. Most also offer choices in terms of wholesale cardboard cake boxes or plastic cake boxes. Most consumers prefer the wholesale plastic cake boxes for instances where the cake speaks for itself. If your presentation has more to do with the contents of the box rather than the box itself, then a clear box will allow the contents to be seen and admired by all.

Picking the right shape of a cake box is just as critical, particularly considering support and protection of your cake as well as highlighting the cake’s appearance. The cake may be either square or round, but the box does not have to be. Some food reviewers suggest heart-shaped boxes may be the best boxes for making a finely designed, trimmed, and decorated round cake stand out as it arrives; others suggest hexagon-shaped boxes can do the same for square cakes. The choice is truly one of individual preference but characteristics such as that may appeal if the presentation of the cake is as important as the display or serving.

Finding wholesale wedding cake boxes is a little more challenging because of the size of most wedding cakes. Boxes that are designed to hold a large wedding cake are usually custom ordered. You can however, find many varieties of cake slice boxes for your wedding cake. There are many ways in which you can decorate a plain white or clear box to make it more fitting for a special occasion such as a wedding. Use your creativity to make a wholesale cake box look more like a jewelry or keepsake box.

Cupcake Stands

Cupcake stands have truly revolutionized the cupcake baking industry. Everyone who loves cake loves cupcakes even more because they are just the right size. Serving cupcakes at an event or gathering enables the guests to get just the right amount plus it reduces the amount of work you have to do. You won’t have to cut and serve the cake by the slice. The cupcakes can be eaten right away or saved for later depending on each guest’s preference. A cupcake stand also allows each guest to serve themselves so each guest can decide if they want just one or more than one. The most convenient aspect of using cupcakes rather than a cake is that in most cases, you can better judge how many cupcakes you need to make for a specific amount of guests.

If you are using cupcakes stands for a large gathering like a wedding for instance, you will want to make enough cupcakes so each guest can have one. One per guest is plenty because some guests will not want to eat a cupcake while others may want a second. Wedding cupcake stand arrangements can be quite large so you will need to calculate if one is sufficient or if you should plan for more than one. If you do plan for more than one stand, make sure you place the stands in a fashion where there is plenty of room for guests to maneuver around the table. You don’t want to have to spin a stand in the middle of an event so the cupcakes on the other side can be accessed. A centralized location with plenty of room on all sides of a table is best. It is very important to create an area in which guests can approach easily and maneuver in and out of without too much confusion.

This is not true because the base of a stand is quite visible and it must be sturdy in order to withstand the weight of all of those cupcakes.

When you are shopping for cupcake stands, make sure you take a close look at the edging of each tier and especially at the base of the stand. A decorative base will definitely make a more profound impact on your overall cupcake arrangement. The market is full of options especially when it comes to the material of choice. A stand does not have to be made of sterling silver to make an elaborate and unique display. As long as a material is up to the challenge of supporting all of the weight of many cupcakes, the rest will boil down to its decorative appearance. The stand should add to your design and mimic the overall style of your cupcake arrangement and decor.

Cupcakes are the new trend in modern wedding decor. Wedding cupcake stands enable a decorator to arrange the cupcakes in a fashion that is more elegant and unique. Cupcake wedding cake stands come in many variations including clear plastic, white plastic, glass, and even silver. The arrangement of the tiers is highly important and so is the shape of the tiers. For instance, round tiers create a tree effect that is still traditional in appearance when compared to a regular wedding cake. Tiers that are square in shape will change the overall look of the tower making it more contemporary and even more unique. You can decorate each tier differently or choose to create one large arrangement. A wedding cupcake stand can hold anywhere from twenty four cupcakes to as many as forty eight or even higher depending on how the cupcakes are arranged.
