Cupcakes: And of course, we can’t forget the classic cupcake dessert! So many are doing poop emoji inspired cupcakes, but if you’re not into that, check out our Emoji DIY cupcake toppers to dress up the top of plain iced cupcakes!
Assembly Instructions:
- Place the included backing paper on a clean, flat surface.
- Place the top of the lollipop stick at the approximate center/middle point of the colored backing paper. This should leave the top half of the backing paper above the lollipop stick and the bottom half of the backing paper behind the top part of the lollipop stick.
- Remove a sticker from the sticker sheet and apply the sticker over the lollipop stick. Press down firmly and smooth out the length of the sticker to ensure that the sticker and backing paper are secure. This should leave the sticker and backing paper tightly wrapped around the lollipop stick.
- Stick the cupcake picks in the top of your cupcakes, serve and enjoy!
Don’t forget to display your cupcakes or brownies on our white tier cupcake stands!
These stands hold between 16 and 24 cupcakes depending on cupcake size. There is assembly required, but it’s simple and easy to do! Though this stand is reusable, don’t put it in the dishwasher. Use a rag to wipe it down.
Measurements are as follows:
- 1st Tier: 7.9in
- 2nd Tier: 9.9in
- 3rd Tier: 11.9in
- Height: 14.5in
- Base Width: 10.5in
Assembly Instructions:
1. Each cupcake stand comes with 5 pieces: 2 pieces to form the stem and 3 tiers. The largest tier goes on first, then the middle-sized tier, then the smallest tier.
2. Using the 2 stem pieces (the pieces with arms), set the shorter piece inside the longer piece. The base should have an “x” shape and should stand on its own.
3. Take the largest tier and align the slits in the middle with the “x” shape of the stem. Push the stem through the slits in the tier and carefully guide the tier down until it sits on top of the base’s bottom legs.
4. Take the middle-sized tier and align the slits in the middle with the “x” shape of the stem. Push the stem through the slits in the tier and carefully guide the tier down until it sits on top of the middle set of stem arms.
5. Take the smallest tier and align the slits in the middle with the “x” shape of the stem. Push the stem through the slits in the tier and carefully guide the tier down until it sits on top of the top set of stem arms.
6. Your cupcake stand should now look like pictured product. You can place up to 24 cupcakes on a stand at once. It’s easiest to fill from bottom to top; place cupcakes across from one another as opposed to straight up one side to avoid the cupcake stand tipping from uneven weight.
