PAPER MACHE BIRTHDAY CAKE STAND
Happy Birthday cake stand is for all of the special birthdays in our lives, even our own.  Once you create the stand it can be painted any color you like with any designs you like.  This stand has dots and swirls and stars.  The lettering is very simple and a good trick to use when painting letters is to go back over your letters, around the outside of each one, with little dots.  The dots hide crooked lines and make the letters look fancier and more finished.  I also like the folk art look of the dots.  You could also personalize cake plates, for each child in a family for example, or an extra special birthday.

To create your cake stand, just go to the How To instructions in this blog for the Pumpkin Pie Plate Stand.  This stand is basically the same except for 2 things, it does not have a top or cover and the rim on the cake plate base is down and is about 3 inches.  The rim on the pie stand is up and is about an inch with a scalloped edge.  All of the other instructions are the same except for the color and design choices you will make.  You will also use the same materials and paints.  If you want to you can also make your stand larger or smaller, and you can make the stand shorter or taller, depending on the cups and bowls you use.  Basic instructions are still the same.  Have fun!
