DIY Cupcake plates & Cake plate {Picture Tutorial}
Hey Y’all! Today I’m going to show you how to make super cute cupcake and cake plates. I just hosted a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law. We had an assortment of cupcakes and I wanted some cupcake plates for the tablescape. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money buying them so I made my own with just a few things from the thrift store and dollar store.

These were very inexpensive and easy to make. I have been scouting out the thrift store and dollar store for the supplies I needed to make these. Here is what you need:
I got the saucers and candlesticks from the Goodwill. I got the green plate and ice cream dish from dollar tree. You need a glue gun or E6000 glue. I used a glue gun because I wanted to be able to take them apart for easier storage. If you want it to be permanent use the E6000 glue. I spent around $7 for everything! The ones I found on Etsy were $18 for 1 plate!
This ice cream dish was perfect for a cake plate. It is bigger so it could support plate better than a candlestick. Put hot glue on the bottom of the ice cream dish then place it in the center of the bottom of the plate.
I used my hand to apply even pressure to help it form a good bond.
Do the same for the saucers and candle sticks
Apply hot glue to the bottom of the candlesticks and center on the saucer.

Here they are all done. I wanted different heights for them so it would give more dimension to the table so that is why I used different candlesticks.
Here’s the table from the shower. I love how it looked with my homemade cupcake and cake plates.
We put some flowers on them also. When the shower was over,they easily came apart to clean and store.

I LOVE IT! SO SWEET, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT IDEAS.
I love that you used different things and small plates! I have done this for a wedding I catered but used E600 glue (stays FOREVER!) and then I used bigger plates and the bottoms were candle stick holders. Thanks for sharing cute!
Wow, I love this!
I love it! What a great idea, everything looks beautiful.
Very cool! My mom uses the old restaurant trick: a paste of cornstarch and water to cement the dip bowl to the plate, etc. Washes off and no risk of burns! (I’m a klutz with a glue gun.)
what a great idea! I will have to use this idea in the future, I hate when the dip bowl slides around on the plate!
super cute Marji! You’re so clever!
What do you mean it comes apart? As in the hot glue isn’t permanent? How stable is it while in use, then? thanks
The hot glue is not permanent, but makes a strong bond to hold things together. I didn’t have any problem with the things coming apart while I was using them, but was able to pry the candlesticks off the plates without breaking anything. Hope that helps!
