Using this cake and cupcake display stand plate is easy. First, assemble it by inserting the tube (sold separately) into the plate hole until it's tight and firm. Then, you can place your delicious cakes, cupcakes, or wedding favors on the plate. Remember, don't over - press the tube when it's already secure to avoid breaking the plate. When it comes to cleaning, just wash it by hand with mild soap and water. You can choose from 7 different sizes, ranging from 6 - inch to 18 - inch plates, making it suitable for all your special events like weddings, birthdays, and upscale gatherings. Each order contains one plate, and if you want to make a cake tier, you'll need to buy 2 plates and 1 tube separately.
