How I Build these Cake Stands

Start by cutting all of your boards, be sure to sand any rough edges. Now you may leave the wood natural or I recommend prefinishing the boards.

For assembly, you will nail and glue the 4 side piece together.

Next set the planks across the top keeping them flush to each side. Nail and glue each board down to the box base.

You will build the next box with the same steps as the first and then just stack! This DIY cake stand is easy to personalize with initials or a name. Plus you may customize the size or how many boxes you stack. Something this simple, why not take an ordinary cake to the next level?
