Wedding cake stands vary greatly depending on style, material, and price range. Most are made of acrylic and metal. Metal cake stands are usually made of materials such as silver and brass. Metal products tend to be more expensive but you can easily rent out a set from a bakery or bakery supply store. Cupcake stands are quickly becoming very popular as more cupcake wedding cakes are being depicted as a new trend in modern bridal magazines. The versatility of cupcakes allows for interesting and innovative arrangements that are quite more and way different from the traditional wedding cake of generations before. You can easily find a traditional cake stand or a more modern cupcake tree directly on the internet. Most are fairly inexpensive but the prices will vary greatly depending on the design and your choice of material.

Creating a memorable cake arrangement with a traditional wedding cake stand is very feasible because most cake stands are barely noticeable depending on the arrangement you choose. For instance, some of the best cake decorating ideas and cake arrangements that incorporate flowers usually cover up the stand so even a plain white acrylic stand can work quite well. Some brides want the stands to become a focal point so they like the elaborate designs of metal stands which are also known as cake plateaus. Each tier or plateau can be designed to match the others or you can choose to make each one different in design or size. Some brides like to incorporate both a traditional cake on top with cupcakes on the tiers below. The overall look is quite attractive and very modern as well. You don’t have to settle for a 3 tier cake stand anymore because there really is no limit as to the amount of tiers you can include in your wedding cake.

If you are creating your own wedding cake or ordering a cake from a bakery, make sure you carefully discuss and consider the different types of stands and wedding cake topper. In some cake designs, the stand can make a large impact in the overall effect. In others, the stand is hidden and it simply acts as a structural part of the cake arrangement. When making your own wedding cake, make sure you consider the weight of each tier or plateau to ensure that you do not overload your arrangement of choice. Cupcakes are easy to make and fun to decorate. You can also order some cute decorative cupcake boxes so each guest can have a pretty packaged cupcake to take home.
