Craft Project: Cupcake Pedestal

S'more Cupcake on Small Pedestal

The idea occurred to me that I've never seen a cupcake pedestal. Sure I've seen dessert pedestals in various sizes but never one scaled for a cupcake. I was curious if any product existed. After a quick search, I discovered that their were in fact cupcake pedestals. But the ones I found were tall and made of plastic. I wanted something a little more formal and so the cupcake pedestal was created (picture above). It took just a few minutes to make and the supplies cost under $2 minus the glue. These would make lovely eco-friendly wedding favors. Simple directions below.

Supplies:
One small plate
Glass candle holder or shot glass
E6000 Glue

I purchased this small plate and candle holder at the thrift store. You'll want the plate to be smaller than an average size teacup plate. The plate I found happened to be a child size teacup plate measuring about 2 3/4" inches in diameter. If you decide to purchase your items at the thrift store, test out your plate on the selection of small candle holders. I turned the candle holders upside down and began placing the plate on the candle holders to find the perfect base. When searching for both items keep in mind the proportions of cake pedestal since you're trying to create a mini version of it.

Turn the candle holder upside down, and place the glue on the top of it. Center the bottom of the plate on top of it. Let the pedestal set up overnight. Done.
