Why buy one of those wasteful, plastic tiers for a wedding cake? Just make your own.
Well, my roommate just got married. It wasn't anything fancy—it was basically a courthouse wedding followed by a reception. But I wanted to make sure the reception was at least partially memorable, so I signed up for the duty of cake-baking. I decided on a cupcake wedding cake, but that, according to all instructional websites I read, required buying a plastic tiered cake stand. And I was against it. Not only do these things have around a $50 starting price (at least the ones in my neighborhood), they're also a terrible eco-purchase. Plastic isn't green, but additionally, these are a onetime use products. (A.K.A=a waste) I boycotted the idea of buying one right away and rummaged through my recycling bin to find materials to make my own instead.
