How to make a cheesecake lolli pop stand

I came across this idea last week and fell in love with it!  I have been making cheesecake lolli pops for years and wanted a fun way to display them.  This Saturday I am doing a dessert buffet for my dear friend and fellow blogger Anna Mosely's 30th birthday party. She is having a Roaring 20's theme so I chose glittery black wrapping paper and smoky rhinestones to embellish her lolli stand!  Here's how to make one for yourself:

1. Cut strips of heavy wrapping paper or wallpaper to fit around 5-, 7-, 11-, 13 inch diameter styrofoam cake dummies, or thinner rounds found at the craft store, with an extra inch sticking up at the top to create a rim.  For a decorative edge, trim top edges with a pinking blade.  Affix paper with spray adhesive, then hot glue the tiers together. Sprinkle the tops of the styrofoam with dusting sugar or edible glitter for more sparkle!

                                        simple supplies cost approximately $15 at the craft store

                      I pulled out my grandmothers pinking shears~ so glad she gave them to me!


2. Poke the lolli sticks into the styrofoam and create your fun display!  I used tootsie pops today, but will post another picture later this week with the cheesecake lollies along with the recipe to make them.  You can also use this idea for skewered fruit with a chocolate fountain, cotton candy on sticks, rock candy on sticks, brownie or cake lolli pops, suckers all in one color for a color-themed event, or small caramel apples. The possibilities are endless!
