I dont know - you could ask a local cake maker if you could hire one from them maybe?!

Or.. Ebay?! They sell everything dont they?

It never occured to me to ask a local shop hun, thanks.

Cheers hun

I wanted a really plain acrylic one & took me months of googling to find exactly what I wanted. It was a acrylic display stand manufacturer (& there are 1000s of these!) I can't find the blooming link though now
I know Lakeland used to do a smallish silver one but I can't find it on their site.

www.cupcaketree.com is where you can order them but i think they are only cardboard ones. They have lots of ideas on how to decorate them on the site, i think they have some there were you can't see the actually tree.

Metallic spray should work wonders if its the wrong colour. If u dress it up enough u shouldnt be able to see the plates anyway.
The one from cupcaketree.com is cardboard...Im sure u could make one if u desired.
After all this browsing of cupcakes..I think I have found my wedding cake!..........................next, the dress!

We are having a cupcake cake as well. We had trouble finding the kind of cupcake stand that we wanted but heard that you can go to a hardware/lumber yard and they can cut out the pieces for the stand for you in any shape you want for cheap. I wanted a square one and they made a 4 tier stand with square pieces of wood for less than $20. We put it together with the wooden "leg poles" they made and it is fantastic! I took it home and sanded the edges and stained it in a nice mahogeny finish. It looks priceless not to mention was very affordable. My friend is having a heart shape cut for hers. Just a suggestion in case you can't find what you're looking for!

Also, on the topic of cupcake cakes. I found the cutest idea for cupcakes. Instead of having a baker make fancy cupcakes, you have a local supermarket bakery make your cupcakes with just your color of frosting on it. You can pick up pre-made frosting flowers and add them yourself or (what I plan to do) is go to a craft store and pick up some cute things to add to them. I found some cute bumblebees and butterflies on wires for really affordable. I am going to use a variety of the flowers (fresh or frosting) with the bees and butterflies. My sister-in law said she could pick up the cupcakes from the store the evening before the wedding and add the decorations in a matter of minutes. SUPER cheap and easy to do. Not to mention adorable!!!

Good luck!

I had a cupcake cake (see below)

We made our stand by getting different sized cake boards and screwing in bits of dowling sprayed silver.

No one knew it wasn't legit and cost under a tenner!
