So on my favourite blog, I saw an idea for creative cupcake stands. Here, they painted ceramic pots and glued them together to create a cupcake stand. I think this would work if you had about 10 cupcakes. 

To fit in more capcakes, covering boxes and then piling them on top of each other with cupcakes at the side looks so pretty. You could also use wrapping paper that matches the colour scheme. I think I’ll use this idea.
