Hey bunting cupcake queens! I've just seen a lovely 3-tier cake stand

I'm not remotely bunting cupcake and I like it. It's in the Linda Barker catalog, which generally is full of things that would make you smirk if you actually saw them in someone's house. Here it is, what do you think?

OOH i LIKE THAT sorry for caps!!

Lemontart · 15/10/2008 17:04

ooooh nice!
Got to say though, I bought an almost identical one last year from Matalan and it cost under a tenner. £55 seems a little steep. Mine is only 2 tier but virtually identical cream porcelain with stainless steel supports, the plate have the lacy but not too fussy edging too

bran · 15/10/2008 17:06

I think £55 includes 6 side plates and a milk jug, the cake stand on its own is £24.50. Still a bit pricy I agree, especially if they sell identical ones in Matalan.

ooooh that is pretty

(wonder if they do a 7 tier....)

CountessDracula · 15/10/2008 17:08

oh no
that is not good sorry
It looks like the sort of thing they would have in a hotel

I prefer this

CD, that's much to practical to be bunting cupcake. It can't even get accidently broken on it's first use thereby ruining your bunting cupcake garden party even before the rain starts.

Goodness me
what is wrong with you all?

Have you an attack of grannyitis???

CountessDracula · 15/10/2008 17:17

how can you resist this little beauty!

twinsetandpalls · 15/10/2008 17:21

I have one like that from a local store in town was £23.

twinsetandpalls · 15/10/2008 17:22

Nemo I want that Next one. I already have three cakestands, have a complete obsession with them

LaDiDaDi · 15/10/2008 17:23

Do they still make that eternal beay stuff?

seeker · 15/10/2008 17:23

I've just bought one like this I am so excited!

twinsetandpalls · 15/10/2008 17:24

I think £44 is a fairish price if it includes everything else.

bran · 15/10/2008 17:25

Now you're just being silly CD, that really is grannyish.

I like the next reindeer one.

I wonder if my SIL would like the Linda Barker one, she's very bunting cupcake but lives in Malaysia so finds it hard to get stuff like this.

£55 sorry

seeker · 15/10/2008 17:26

PLEASE look at mine - it's lovely!

twinsetandpalls · 15/10/2008 17:27

I would love one of those seeker for dd birthday parties,

twinsetandpalls · 15/10/2008 17:28

mumofmonsteres I want to look at yours but am getting underlined words not a link.

seeker · 15/10/2008 17:28

I didn't realize bunting-cupcake was a category and I didn't realize that I was it, but as I made 100m of bunting this summer and I'm always making cupcakes and I've just bought a cup cake stand then I suppose I am!

onceinalifetime · 15/10/2008 17:28

lol at CD, I agree with your first choice though - I've got those in different colours and they're good for fruit and snacks at parties as well as bunting cupcake moments. Hate the reindeer one.

ComeOVeneer · 15/10/2008 17:30

Twinset, make your own, it is really easy.

Cake boards, wall paper, ribbon, styro foam cake dummies and glue
