Create a super fun and eye-catching display using our SVG Laser File.
Grab the SVG Laser File:
Compatible Laser Cutters:
This Laser Cut File is compatible with any laser cutting software that accepts SVG files.
I cut mine using my OmTech 50-watt but will also work with any Glowforge or xTool.
Material:
The example was cut out of 3mm MDF board but will work on any 3mm material that is compatible with your laser cutter.
MDF and Wood Materials can be used in their raw form or they can be painted or stained, and sealed with a food-safe covering.
Acrylic would also be a great choice. food-safe, easy to clean, and reusable.
Cut Pieces:
The file includes all 8 pieces needed to make a 3-tier Cupcake Stand.
Two ends, three vertical slats, and three shelves.
Assembly:
The 2 stair step pieces are the two ends.
There are 3 support pieces that have slits cut out on both ends, and there are 3 shelves that have a total of 4 holes, two on each end.
Slide the supports into the slits on the two end pieces.
The shelves then fit over the notches on the end pieces.
When the stand is completely assembled it measures 10" x 7.5" x 7.625".
The width of each tier or shelf is 2 inches.
All that's left is to have a party and fill it up with cupcakes!
This stand easily holds 1 dozen cupcakes, but I am sure it could hold more. My cupcakes are quite spaced out.
This simple design is great for birthday parties, wedding celebrations, baby showers, or any event where you need a cupcake display!
Don't like cupcakes? Don't worry, this could also be a knick-knack shelf or even a great display for your products. The possibilities are endless!
Frequently Asked Questions:
There are many different types of sealers that you can use to seal your cupcake stand. There are spray varieties and the kind you brush on.
In my opinion, the best option is Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish Spray.
Laser Essentials
- Are you new to laser machines? I highly suggest the xTool M1 Ultra! This machine is super easy to learn and helps you create beautiful projects!
- Are you more experienced with lasers and want more power? I love my OmTech 50W, but they have all types of machines up to 150W!
- Craft Closet is my favorite shop for laser materials. Their products are high-quality, and they have the lowest price I can find anywhere!
- If you really want to get into lasers, I highly suggest you learn how to create your own files. Pen & Posh has a great course for this.
