If you’re planning on making a cheesecake for shavuot, do you have a cake stand to display it? When you’re in a pinch, it’s easy to make your own cake stand with an inexpensive plate and bowl from the dollar store. (Actually, the plate and bowl were each $1.49 from the 99 Cents Only Store, but there’s inflation for you.) 

Even if you’re not planning on making a cheesecake, or any dessert for that matter, a cake stand is a handy thing to have around the house. It’s great for organizing makeup and toiletries in the bathroom, or a place to hold keys, wallet or mail on a dresser or entry table. 

What you’ll need:

Ceramic plate
Small ceramic bowl
E6000 permanent adhesive

1. Start with a large ceramic platter and a small ceramic bowl.
2. Turn the bowl upside down. Apply E6000 adhesive around the base of the bowl.
3. Turn the plate upside down. Center the base of the bowl on the bottom of the plate.
4. Place a heavy book on top of the bowl to help secure the seal between the bowl and the plate. Allow the adhesive to dry overnight. Handwash the cake stand after using.
