re. cost of stands - if you have enough time, junk shop plates can be araldite-d to candlesticks with flat tops, making individual vintage stands of 1 layer.

my friend made some, they were lovely! You could always flog em at a boot sale afterwards if they survive!

The plates look fab and cheap idea too but oh doesn't like. He's fussier then me and has shot half my ideas down!! But he's prob right they wouldn't 'fit' as everythings modern he's worried they'd just look out of place whereas if we had something else along them lines it wouldn't be too bad.
Great to rememer tho for when I do cupcakes for customers!

If not plaster for the cupcake body, another option might be that green stuff that florists use to stick flower arrangements in, is it called oasis?

"Someone told me about making really big cupcakes... we should make one - it could be massive!"
I was like

Then to prove the point I showed him this and he was like.... oh yeah!
Men!
