Since beginning my new 'fake bake' hobby, I've been looking for more ways to display my decorative treats. I thought that cake stands and tiered trays would be an excellent way to go. Check out how I made over these that I found while thrifting:

Here are the cake stand and tray as I found them, $3.99 and $6.99 respectively at my local thrift store.
And here they are after sprucing them up with a bit of paint!
I used Krylon brand spray paint in a champagne gold and plain white. The most important thing is to make sure that the paint you use is intended for multiple surfaces, including glass. While it went on easily and held well I can't say for sure that the surfaces are still food safe. For that reason I plan on using them for decorative purposes only.
And decorate I did, filling them up with Valentine themed faux treats!
*I'm also careful to clean them gently with a damp cloth instead of putting them in a dishwasher*
