Super Simple Dessert Stand

I was at good ole Goodwill a few weeks ago and came across the yellow and white ceramic candle holder you see below. It became mine for .59! One gal’s trash will soon
become my treasure with a little help from E-6000.


I took some time looking for the right plate to complete my project. I wanted something fancy but of course cheap. I came across this guy at Ross. He was only $3.00! For $3.59 I had my self a new cake stand, fruit stand, dessert dish, we can just call it a whatever stand (I can place whatever my little heart desires on it).

I’m not going to lie I originally planned on making this as a gift but it sure looks super cute on our island and I’ve been wanting to add a little yellow to our decor.
Hummm maybe I’ll be bad and keep it ;o)
Project Tips*E-6000 is a wonderful glue and it’s dishwasher safe! I purchased mine at Wal-Mart.
*Just follow the directions on the package and you’ll be all good.
*When looking for a candlestick to complete this project you want to be sure it has a flat surface to adhere the plate to; the thicker the surface the more surface area to apply glue.
*After I applied the glue and everything stuck together I placed some weight on the plate while I waited for the glue to dry (I used a juice bottle).

  1. I've made some similar, but not with a plate as large as yours. I love that plate! It's really neat. I'm gonna look for one similar. Thanks for sharing!

  2. I just bought some old brass candlesticks to make mini dessert stands but I LOVE this cake stand and they are so expensive to buy! Thanks for including the tip about what kind of adhesive to use also!!

  3. I love it. I have this very same project on my list of things to do, but I have still not found the right plates for toppers. I have the perfect candle holders for the bottom though, so I guess I am halfway there!
