My ds3's birthday party is next week & I really need to find decent but not too ££ cake stands - cupcake stands & also normal cake stands. I've tried ebay & amazon but not wowed at choice....please, any ideas? Don't have to be kiddy-ish as I plan to reuse them at other gatherings.

Massive TIA!

Strange as it may seem, I have found cheap cupcake stands in Booksale

Cybsaysbaggsie · 23/02/2011 17:59

Can you hire them from somewhere

ChippyMinton · 23/02/2011 18:03

lakeland

Harebell · 23/02/2011 18:21

The ones I saw in Booksale were cheaper than hiring

I don't fancy hiring (but thanks) but I'll check lakeland. Booksale sounds great but website is down.

I'm being thwarted!!

oh I didn't know Booksale had a website - saw 'em in the shop in Norwich

I am sure i have seen disposable cardboard ones in Sainsburys. Not sure on price.

Do you have a tiger shop near you?
Lovely cheap fairy cake stands

pointydog · 23/02/2011 19:08

sainsbury's have card ones for abotu £5.99 I think but you want to re-use them, don;t you?

I passed some in Marks the other day.

'tis well worth phoning round your local charity shops. It's the sort of thing they're often given but can't shift...

Mismatched florals is tres chic.

TK Maxx has cake stands and TJ Hughes does cupcake stands.

John Lewis has some lovely cake stands - I have had the LSA gourmet one for years and love it but having just looked at these might need to buy a tiered one too!

Ikea does a 3-tier glass one (good for cupcakes) and a covered glass stand for large cakes.
