Cupcakes Take a Stand

We are going to have 17 dozen Sprinkles Cupcakes. 4 black and white, 4 vanilla, 4 peanut butter chocolate, 3 red velvet, and 2 coconut, for a total of 204 cupcakes. I cannot wait! Now the problem is finding a way to display them.

I just bought two red cake stands from Target for $20 each (because of Valentine’s Day, our colors are everywhere!) and am continuing the research. I’m on a cake stand roll, so I thought I would share some of my finds for anyone looking for cake stand inspiration.
