In this video, I will show you how easy and affordable it is to make a homemade pedestal cake display. And these displays are not just for cakes! As you can see from the picture above, these displays are great for candies, cupcakes, fruit, jewelry, keys and more! And let me tell you – if I was able to make my own cake displays, then you will be able to do this too as I do not have a crafty bone in my body! 😉 Enjoy…

    I made the cutest Christmas one a couple of years back and broke it in my last move. 🙁

  13. max

    Sorry not really that cute

    • mel

      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your taste may not be the same as Collin’s, but you can make them how it suits you/your decor. Some of the items I wouldn’t personally pick, but it’s the idea of how to make a pedestal with either cheap finds or stuff already around the house.

      • CW

        You got that right Mel! 🙂 it’s teaching others how to do it on a dime vs. $100 from a high end cake business.

    • meg

      Well then max don’t do it.

  14. Abby

    Very cute! On my to do list for sure!

  15. Cyndi

    @ Max that is not very nice, maybe that’s something you should keep to yourself!

  16. Taryn

  20. Ger

    What a great idea, thanks so much for the video!

  21. jane

    ok so I don’t have a car today and can’t get the e6000 but i improvised and made 2 of these with my 10yearold daughter. I used superglue, which may not last but, and they are so special and fun to do. I also made a glass dome for the small one I made for a single cupcake. I used a clear glass soup bowl and a knob. Turned the bowl upside down and glued the knob on. So special and fun.

  22. Melanie

    Great idea – I love frugal and fun!

  23. Gail

    You’re so adorable Collin! You know how to brighten everyday! Love the idea!

  24. Madsmom

    Awesome idea!!

  25. Nikki

    You are such an awesome person love love love to see your videos makes my day go by smoothly.

  26. Tammy

    I’m going to try this! I’ve always wanted a cake pedestal , but they’re way too expensive & never on sale (even day after Thanksgiving black Friday they don’t go on sale)! This way I can make my own to fit my style!!

  27. Missy

    Thanks Collin!!! As always another great video!! I so look forward to your videos!!

  28. Shel

    From a seriously craft-challenged person…I think I could actually do this, & maybe even enjoy it… You make it look so fun & easy 🙂 Thank you, Collin, for the inspiration!

  29. joannemart

    Thanks so much Collin! I love to have a nice presentation at parties, but hate having to spend lots of money doing so. This is simple, inexpensive,beautiful and just awesome! Thanks again 🎂
