Build a rustic wood cake stand with 1x3 furring strips. This is a free project plan with detailed diagrams and photos to build your own cake stand.
This cake stand can be either built as a 10", 12",or build both and stack for a grand cake display.
You'll just need inexpensive 1x3 furring strips, some brad nails and glue, and your favorite stain to build these cake stands.
How I Built this Tiered Wood Cake Stand
You'll start by cutting and prefinishing all the boards.
Next you will glue and nail the base pieces together creating a box shape.
Next you will plank the top with 1/2" overhang on all sides.
Build the second one following the same steps!
Then stack!
Such a fun and easy way to display a cake for a special occasion!
