Cupcake stand

MISSCOURTNEY20

I am looking for a cupcake stand that can hold about 150 cupcakes, at least. There will be more, but I figure some can be put on the table. I can only find the cardboard ones, and that isn't going to work because I want to keep it for my daughter's bday parties. HELP!!! PIP or websites would be great!

Thanx!!

Check out the Wedding Classifieds or Trash to Treasure board on The Nest. There's tons of stuff for sale on these boards.

Found one on ebay made of wood: http://tinyurl.com/3786nm7
I found this one but It seems rather expensive: http://tinyurl.com/2whbzl7
A bit cheaper here: http://tinyurl.com/2u3n882
They are clear acrylic and you don't have to use all the tiers...
Other thought, could you cover the cardboards ones tp make them look nicer?

I had a cardboard one for my son's graduation party and it got messy from the icing. I really want to reuse it. I don't think the cardboard ones can/should be reused. Thanx for the other ones. They are pretty pricey. I'm going to keep my eye on the one from ebay though.

Let's think about this, really, though.  Are you really going to need a cupcake stand that holds 150 cupcakes for your daughters' birthday parties?  I mean, that seems excessive. 

Seems like you really only need one that big for one day, so I'd buy the cheapest one I could that doesn't look terrible, and then get a regular one for birthday parties.

Many of the ones that I have seen have the tiers that are removable. I can use 5 or 2. It's up to the number of cupcakes that I have. Thanx for your help.

See if you can rent one from a local catering company.

I ordered 4 dozen cupcakes and am getting a custom decorated stand for $20 from the bakery.  It is reusable and the perfect size for a birthday party, IMHO.

Look in the Wilton section in your local craft store.  They make a couple of different options.

However, to handle 150 cupcakes you're going to have to have multiple stands.  A lot of people do just cake pedestal stands stacked on each other, or plates on top of pretty vases, etc.  Somebody purchased a variety of clear glass plates and vases at yard sales/flea markets and used super glue to turn them into tower stands.  It was pretty cute.
