Day 3 - Holiday Cupcake Tower

On the third day of Christmas, my crafty friend gave to me...

A Holiday Cupcake Tower!

This project makes me hungry just looking at it! It's so simple to create this holiday cupcake tower using square glass plates and vases. One of the great things about it is that you can use it for other events by changing the trim and the filler. And since gluing the pieces together is optional, you can unassemble it after your event and store it neatly away.
