Party Wood Dessert Stands

December 13, 2013February 19, 2014 ~ lindy

These are Dessert Stands that I like to use when we have Holiday Dinners. I made one for each person and place cupcakes, cookies or I place small bag of treats for them to take home. They are also nice on a serving table. I used a skinny candle stick but if you want them to be a little more stable use a larger wood candlestick for the base, you can find them at Hobby Lobby.

Below are links to show in more detail how to make them, but they are pretty easy to make.

You can get Chocolate Oreo and Rolo Cookie recipes here.

You can find more stands here and here.

Enjoy!
