Happy Birthday To Us! - Wilton Cupcakes 'N More 24 Count Mini Dessert Stand {REVIEW & GIVEAWAY}

I love to bake and love to eat those baked goods even more!  Anyone who bakes knows that one of the front runners in all things baking is Wilton.  Wilton has been a cornerstone of the baking community since 1929 when Dewey McKinley Wilton opened a cake decorating and candy making school for caterers and chefs in a single room of his Chicago, Illinois, home.  Since then, Wilton has exploded to include not only baking supplies, but scrapbooking supplies, a television show, classes and even picture frames!  Talk about branching out!  You can read all about their fascinating history on Wilton's website. 

I love to make cupcakes and, luckily, my family and friends like to eat cupcakes!  So, to celebrate our birthdays this month, Wilton sent me the Cupcakes 'N More 24 Count Mini Dessert Stand and the "Cupcake Fun!" publication.  In the "Cupcake Fun!" publication, there are recipes for the different cupcakes and frosting but, most importantly, there are instructions and pictures for all sorts of ways to decorate your cupcakes.  There are ideas for Halloween and Christmas as well as birthdays and baby showers! I've always wanted to take the Wilton cake decorating class but haven't had the chance so I'm using this book as a way to get started!

What Did I Think?

This cupcake stand is so much fun and is such a conversation piece at a party!  It's a great way to display your decorated cupcakes and an easy way for your guests to choose the perfect cupcake for them to devour.  The stand was very easy to put together.  It took me about 2 minutes to screw the platforms to the posts and once it's set up, it takes no time to place the cupcakes.  I can't wait to make some of the cupcakes listed in the book and decorate them as well.  I would also love to have a stand that holds normal sized cupcakes, but I'm happy to begin with the mini stand.  Since this stand hold 24 mini cupcakes, you can feed quite a few people (at least for the first serving!).  For my family, we would have to refill the stand a few times before everyone is finished.
