20 DIY Dessert Displays and Cake Stands

Make your own gorgeous dessert table with these amazing cake stands, you won’t believe they’re DIY!

When I got married, my husband was really easygoing about most things. He definitely helped a ton with the planning and execution and he certainly had opinions and helped me choose things but he didn’t have super strong it-has-to-be-a-certain-way feelings about most things. Except for one thing. And my mom was the same way, happy to help but pretty easygoing, but she agreed with Aa on this one. See, here’s the thing, I really wanted a big dessert buffet, maybe even cupcakes, but I wasn’t married to the idea of a big fancy wedding cake (pun definitely intended). But Aa and my mom disagreed and both said, “There HAS to be a cake!” I didn’t take much convincing because, well, it’s cake. What’s to complain about, right? So we had a big fancy cake and it was delicious. But that hasn’t stopped my love affair with dessert tables and cake stands. So today I’m sharing some of the most gorgeous cake stands and dessert displays, you really won’t believe they’re DIY projects!
