What To Look For In A 3 Tier Cupcake Stand

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 03:09:28 +0000

The 3 tier cupcake stand is the most common size that people use for small to medium size parties. There are a lot of different choices available, so picking one out can be pretty tough. Luckily, there are a few things that once you know, you will easily be able to pick out the perfect cupcake stand. It’s easy, so stick with me, and be sure to check out the home page for some great deals on the 3 tier cupcake stands!

This is going to turn into a bit of a text based flow chart, so feel free to jump to where you need to go!

Are You Planning On Reusing Your 3 Tier Cupcake Stand?

This is something that most people don’t think about when shopping for cupcake stands. Wire stands look great, but when they are designed to hold a specific number of cupcakes you either have to buy a stand in a different size next time, or host parties that are always the same size!

Stands with flat tiers are much more versatile than those with wires. With these you are able to fit any number of cupcakes, and if you don’t have enough to fill each tier you can add decorations in between (toys, flowers, etc.). If you are planning on using your cupcake stand again, get one that has flat tiers!

Planning A Big Party?

The beauty of a three tier cupcake stand is that they are small enough to host regular size parties, yet affordable enough that you can buy multiple for large gigs. Some of the larger 3 tier cupcake towers can hold upwards of a hundred cupcakes, but most people will just go with a few smaller ones.

While cupcake stands rarely tip over, it’s better to deal with one of your smaller stands falling than all of your cupcakes on one large stand! Each occasion is different, but if it were up to me I would always choose a handful of smaller stands. A 4 tier cupcake stand is also fairly common if you’re looking for something in between.

Have A Cake As Well?

The combination of cake and cupcakes is very popular for weddings. The bride and groom get the cake, while all of the guests eat the cupcakes. There are lots of cupcake stands designed just for this purpose, but they are usually four tiered. The first three tiers are designed to hold the cupcakes, and the cake goes on the top. On our homepage, we have two of the most popular ones available for you to check out.

Want To Spend As Little Money As Possible?

If you’re on a tight budget you have a few options. The cheapest way is to find a stand at a thrift store or garage sale. Another choices is to use a cardboard 3 tier cupcake stand. I’m not the biggest fan of cardboard cupcake stands since they can’t be reused very well, but some people do love them. They are much cheaper and easier to transport than plastic, metal, glass, or wire. To see a bunch of different choices of cardboard cupcake stands, click here.

With all of the 3 tier cupcake stand choices out there, I hope that I’ve helped you narrow down your options so you can pick out exactly what you need!

Good Cook Cupcake Stacker Cupcake Stand

This is a sturdy and inexpensive cupcake stand by Good Cook. It’s made from acrylic plastic so it is both heavy duty and light weight. My favorite thing about this cupcake stand is that the plastic is clear, but stays classy. Each platform has its own indented area for each cupcake to sit into, so no sliding off of the stand!

Setup of this three tiered plastic cupcake stand is very easy, it’s just a few parts that connect together. The fact that you can break it down to clean it makes it a smarter choice than many of the other stands out there.

This falls into the medium size stand category, it holds 24 cupcakes. The good thing is that it’s fairly cheap so if you need to hold a lot of cupcakes it’s not terribly expensive to buy multiple. Its three tiers create plenty of space between the them, but some people have had problems with tall cupcakes not fitting into the bottom tier.

As I said above, this is an affordable cupcake stand that will last you many birthday parties. Good Cook is known for making products that are high quality, but also at a great price. Amazon carries this stand for around $15 and it qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25.
