Tiered Treat Stand

I love the daintiness of cake stands. I have seen many ideas on making a tiered stand in the blog world. A great idea is to use stove burner covers to create one. And that was my intention. That is until I came across this tart/flan something or other pans from Pampered Chef at the, yes you got it, the thrift store. I love the scalloped edge.

I decided to spray paint them ivory to have a neutral colors that will go with many occassions.

I used two wooden candle holders for the base and for the center post. Depending on where each piece landed, I either screwed it into the metal plate, or I glued it with E6000 glue. The top finial is one I purchased from Lowes. The wooden pieces I spray painted the same ivory color. However, I anitqued them with antiquing gel. I prefer to not serve food directly on a spray painted surface. Just doesn't sound like a good idea. I will serve treats from cupcake holders, or line the surface with scrapbook paper. I have it decorated for fall for the photos.
