Ingredients
To make a 14 inch diameter cake stand, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 inch plywood cut into a 14 inch diameter circle
- 1/2 inch dowel cut into two pieces, each measuring 10 inches in length
- Wood glue
- Sandpaper
- Paint or stain
- Clear sealer
Instructions
Before you begin, you'll need to make sure that you have all the necessary materials ready. You can purchase the wood at a local hardware store, or you can cut it yourself with a jigsaw or a band saw. Once you have the materials ready, you can begin the process of making your cake stand.
First, cut the plywood into a 14 inch diameter circle. You can make a template out of cardboard or paper, and then trace the template onto the wood before cutting it out. Once you have the circle cut out, sand the edges to make them smooth.
Next, take the two pieces of dowel and glue them onto the circle. Place them evenly apart, and make sure that they are at least 1/2 inch away from the edges of the circle. Allow the glue to dry completely before continuing.
Once the glue is dry, you can paint or stain the cake stand. If you are painting it, make sure to use a paintbrush and several thin coats of paint. If you are staining it, use a rag to apply the stain and wipe away any excess. Allow the paint or stain to dry completely before applying a sealer.
Finally, apply a clear sealer to the cake stand. This will help to protect it from scratches and moisture. Allow the sealer to dry completely before using the cake stand.
Nutrition
Since this cake stand is made from wood, there is no nutritional value to it. However, the sealer that is applied to the cake stand can contain chemical compounds that may have a slight nutritional value. Be sure to read the labels of the products you use to make sure they are safe for use with food.
Conclusion
Making a 14 inch diameter cake stand is a fun and easy project that can be completed in just a few hours. All you need is some plywood, dowel, glue, paint or stain, and a sealer. With just these few materials, you can create a beautiful, sturdy cake stand that will last for years.
