Cake Anyone?

I just finished up a cake plate for my Etsy shop, and I have to confess that I absolutely love painting them! I've had a difficult time finding a supplier for cake plate bases, and I used to just craft my own. I recently found a supplier for the bases though, and I ordered a few. :) I really just love kitchen/baking items is general, because in my dream world I bake all the time. I hope to someday get to all of the baking I want to do...I'll meanwhile just have to get my fix from painting cake plates! ;)

Since I used to craft my own cake plates from wood plaques, platters, and candlesticks - I wanted to share these super fun tutorials I found on making your own cake plates! Check out these lovely glass ones from "Armelle" made from sundae cups and plates from the thrift shop:



I see so many pretty glass dishes at the thrift store, and I always wondered what I could do with them (like I need an excuse to buy even more goodies from the thrift store). Here's another cool use for thrift store plates and recycled flower vases from "Design Sponge":



and lastly, I think these vintage inspired cake stands are lovely with the crystal drawer pull added:
