Cake Stand

My sister, Steph, is visiting and we're being creative with old china plates.

Last night I made this cake stand out of three charity-shop plates, two charity-shop sherry glasses, some araldite and some very careful measuring to find the centres.

We got the idea from Making Stuff: An Alternative Craft Book by Ziggy Hanaor and Victoria Woodcock.

Just got to make some cakes now.

As soon as I finish posting this comment and thanking you for mentioning that book I am going straight to my library website to see if they have it! It looks like a ton of fun.

Cool! Thanks for sharing that great idea! I am going to search my local Goodwill for some plates to make my own!
