The sturdy design of this stand allows you to display cupcakes, candies and treats of any size without fear of collapse, unlike similar cheaper versions. Our stand is easy to assemble, to clean and store after events making it a favorite among bakers and caterers as well as Brides. All plates and columns are interchangeable allowing you to use as many or as few tiers as needed for your event. Each piece is available for individual purchase making it easier and more cost efficient to replace damaged or lost parts. The stand is 23 inches fully assembled, and holds approximately 60 standard size cupcakes using the top and base plates. The top tier will hold a small cake of 4", 6" or 8 inches. All parts of this stand are Made In the USA.
