To be honest, I'm not happy with the order. The stand is great, but going through Amazon and Joann Fabrics was not a great choice and my experience was poor. I was led to believe by Amazon/Joann that there were 8 stands available to be ordered. I ordered and waited and over 1 week later...2 stands arrived with a note/receipt that stated that the amount of stands I needed were not available due to....bla bla bla. I should have been notified immediately if there was an error on the site regarding inventory. These stands were for shower centerpieces. I was panicked and very disappointed. Not professional!

I love this stand! It's cute and fun and sturdy enough to hold candles or other non-cupcake items you'd like to display.

I do find it odd that it holds 13 cupcakes (rather than 12) but you can always add a non-cupcake item to the top tier. For best results when baking cupcakes to go on this stand, be sure to bake them in a cupcake tin rather than using the stand-alone foil cups. The stand-alone cupcake liners tend to allow the width of the cupcake to expand a bit and when they do so, no longer fit neatly on the stand without bumping into the other cupcakes. Baking in a tin or stoneware pan limits the final circumference of the cupcakes, allowing them to fit nicely on the rack.

I used this for my daughters 2 year birthday party and it was GREAT!! It looked so cute!! It was very sturdy and exactly what I was hoping for! I will use this many more times!!!

I love this stand...it's so cute and inexpensive. You can even take off the top layer if you have only 12 cupcakes to display.

I LOVE this display! Cupcakes are so much easier for little kids to eat than slices. (Let's be honest, it's all about the clean-up too.) This is such a fun way to display cupcakes! The first time I used it at a neighborhood party a friend asked if she could use it for her daughter's birthday. She spelled out Happy Birthday with the cupcakes on the bottom tiers in lieu of a cake. Another friend called me yesterday to borrow it for her daughter's birthday. I'm thinkin' I might have to rent this out! LOL

The cost of the large size made me rethink getting that one. The medium size is just right in that you can use a box of cake mix and cover all the spots on the cupcake tree. Besides if you make more you can always add a side plate of cupcakes or put an additional ring around the table just beneath the cupcake tree.

The tree is very lightweight so you could bring it to your child's classroom with the cupcakes too. (I wouldn't recommend letting them take it on the bus. It would get bent up if not handled carefully.)

Another incentive to buying this was that Amazon was offering $40 credit on your first order if you opened up an Amazon credit card. Seemed like an easy way to treat me to this item on my wish list!

I think I might want to take a cake decorating class now. (They're really inexpensive at my local AC Moore store.) I also heard that in September Pampered Chef shows are going to offer flower shaped silicone cupcake/muffin pans, so this would be another creative, fun way to display the flower-shaped cupcakes. Enjoy!!
