Ingredients:

  • 1 round wooden board or cake base (12 inches in diameter)
  • 1 sturdy wooden dowel (at least 12 inches long, with a 1/2 inch diameter)
  • 1 spool of decorative ribbon (1-inch width, 3 yards recommended)
  • 1 bottle of strong craft glue or wood adhesive
  • Optional: food-safe finish (if desired)

Instructions:

  1. Measure and cut the wooden board to your desired size (if not pre-cut). Use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges.
  2. Mark the center of the wooden base. Insert the dowel into the center of the board; apply glue for stability. Use clamps to secure the dowel in place while it dries.
  3. Once the glue is dry, wrap the decorative ribbon around the dowel, securing it with glue as needed. Optionally, apply a food-safe finish to the surface of the base if desired.
  4. Allow the entire structure to cure for at least a few hours before placing any cake on the stand. Inspect for stability and ensure all parts are securely attached.
