Make a DIY Cupcake Display in a Pinch!
Posted on Aug 30, 2014 7:05:16 AM by The Team at GDIDisplay your baked goods in a pinch with Glue Dots Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets – Now at Walmart! Designer Dawn returns with a simple and stylish DIY cupcake display.
Presenting homemade baked goods for a school or work function shouldn't be difficult or time consuming. Here is a clever way to show off your baking abilities at your next family function, banquet, or to your neighbor.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets
- Glue Dots® Repositionable Dispenser
- Glass plate (approx. 9 3/4" diameter)
- Martini glass
- Paper doily
- Optional: Ribbons, buttons, embellishments, etc. as desired
Tip #1 – When selecting a plate and martini glass for this project, make sure they each have a flat bottom. This will make it easier to adhere them together.
Here’s how you put it together:
- First, thoroughly clean the glass plate and martini glass. Trace the bottom of the glass onto an Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheet. Draw a second line inside of that to create a ring. If your glass is wider, piece together the adhesive sheets.
- Peel off the liner from one side of the adhesive and press it firmly around the edge of the bottom of the glass.
- Peel off the second liner from the adhesive and firmly press the glass to the underside of the plate. Be sure to keep everything centered nicely.
- Optional - Decorate the stem of the martini glass using a Glue Dots Repositionable Dispenser. You can also use Repositionable Double-Sided Sheets, but I found the dispenser easier to work with for decorating. This way, you can change out the decor to match the holiday, season, or celebration.
- Use the Repositionable Dispenser to adhere a paper doily to the plate. This will keep it from sliding around and can be easily changed without leaving behind a residue on the glass.
Tip #2 – Use a damp cloth to wipe this cupcake display after each use.
This is a quick, clean project that is easy to accomplish in a pinch thanks to Glue Dots Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets and Glue Dots Repositionable Dispenser – Available at Walmart!
Now, all I have to do is clean up the kitchen from the cupcakes.
