The Cupcake Tower

July 22, 2011 By Joi Sigers

The Cupcake Tower

Cupcakes are all the rage right now. About time they got their due! If you want to know how to display cupcakes, and really show off their beauty, The Cupcake Tower is your answer!

One of my favorite things to plan, make, bake, decorate, eat, and… heck, even look at is cupcakes. They’re impossibly cute, consistently fun, deliciously tasty, and always a hit with people of all ages.  What’s not to love?!

The only tricky part of my relationship with cupcakes is the fact that they can be a little bit of a challenge to display impressively. Let’s face it, no matter how cute they are, they’re only so impressive when crowded around a platter.  Cakes (adult cupcakes) are easier.  You can place them on a cake stand and, voila! – a beautiful dessert and lovely presentation.

The Cupcake Tower has now made it just as easy to present your adorable cupcakes.

I was sent a Cupcake Tower to test and review for the food blog. As someone who bakes almost on a daily basis, I’ll be forever and ever grateful to these brilliant fellow cupcake enthusiasts.

The beautiful, well-made, and incredibly sturdy Cupcake Tower is a cinch to put together and take apart – even for someone as un-mechanically inclined as myself.  My family and I are LOVING this Cupcake Tower! I’ve made cupcakes twice since the Tower came my way. (I told you I was somewhat obsessed with cupcakes)

See the picture at the top of the post? Notice the ribbon. Ironically, the Cupcake Tower I was sent came with purple ribbons to place on the Tower. Guess what my favorite color is…. purple. Booyah!!

Each ribbon is pre-cut, and even pre-stiched.  All you have to do is slip one around each level of the tower. It’s as easy as putting a bracelet on your wrist. Click HERE to see their many different, colorful ribbon sets. You can order the colors you want. This will be awesome for the holidays.  I can order orange (along with black, maybe) for Halloween, Autumn colors for Thanksgiving, Reds and Greens for Christmas, and spring colored ribbons for Easter.

As a huge sports fan, I can’t wait to order the blue ribbons for  UK Basketball and Football season, the red for St. Louis Cardinals baseball season, and the orange and deep blue colored ribbons for Denver Broncos game-day!

There are also zebra stripes, leopard print, and rainbow ribbons – endless possibilities.  One of my favorite ribbon sets is the Ladybug one – red with adorable black dots.

You can always order spare parts from the website as well – but I can’t imagine ever needing to.  Each part of this Cupcake Tower is incredibly well made and sturdy.  It’s obvious (right down to the ribbons) that they’ve only used the best of the best in making these beautiful towers.

Here’s something else that’s cool about the Cupcake Tower I was sent – the flip side of each layer has pre-cut holes which can hold cake pops.

From the website:

NEW! Our new reversible round cupcake towers have holes drilled on one side offering the ability to use your stand to display cake pops! Flip them over and they work just like our traditional stands. These versatile stands hold up to 216 cake pops or 208 standard-sized cupcakes. Choose your size below to get started!

You can choose between a square cupcake tower or a round cupcake tower. Either will be a huge hit in your family.  They can be used for holidays, birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers, game-day get togethers, church socials, school events, office parties, poker night, or any time you choose.  As I’ve said, I love to bake and will often surprise my family with a beautiful dessert that’s on the counter or table greeting them when they come home.  I never get tired of seeing (or hearing) the reactions.

As you can well imagine, the sight of the cupcakes on the tower above with the rich, delicious chocolate frosting elicited many oohs and ahhs.  One of my mottos has always been: Make each family member THRILLED to be home.

You’d be amazed at how well cupcakes help contribute to the cause.

Speaking of causes, I saved this information for the last because I think it’s extra special.  The Cupcake Tower donates 10% of each order to charities. Can you imagine how many precious lives could be touched if every company in the world did that?!  Wow.

If you love cupcakes and desserts even half as much as I do, I know you’ll want to read more about The Cupcake Tower. Click the link to view pictures, read more, and of course, check out the beautiful ribbons. The Cupcake Tower is outstanding from top to bottom.  Great people, great product.
