Corrie's 1-2-3 Cake Stand and Apple Cake

I like to pretend that I'm a good baker, when really I'm not. When I walk into a bakery of some sort, I always get so inspired by what I see. Just the way some of the desserts are displayed makes me want to go home and display my treats just the same, which brought me to one of my first Pinterest projects.....a cake stand! 

I've always wanted one, but never had a reason to have one (see above; not a very good baker). So when I saw some pictures of cute handmade ones, I decided to just go for it. Why not? I unfortunately have no pictures of the process, but the finished product is all that matters. All you really need is either a pillar-candle stand or a bowl, like I used, a cute plate, and some epoxy. 


It's as easy as 1, 2, 3....first make sure both surfaces are clean, second apply epoxy to the candle holder/bowl, third wait for the recommended amount of time on the epoxy's directions. That's it! I'm pretty proud of my cake stand, even if I don't have a reason to use it as often as I'd like- unless I actually bake something!


That brings me to my next project. William Tell's Never-Miss Apple Cake. So so easy to make, and so very delicious as well! I made it for a dinner club I'm part of, and it was a huge hit! Even when I brought the leftovers home, it was gone within three days. Pinterest is addicting but trying new things really pays off!
