Wooden cake stand

Hayley, 18 of September of 2021 at 18:34 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 6
Hello all. My friend can do pyrography (burn writing in to wood). I'm really hoping we can get her to write on our cake stand for us. However, I am struggling to find the right thing. It needs to be dry to write on. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Are you just looking for single tier? Also when u say dry, do u mean untreated or varnished?

    Thanks for your reply. The cake will be 3 tiers so just under the bottom one. Our cake maker said it will need to be at least 18 inches. I am thinking the rustic, log slice ones and would say untreated as I believe you have to be careful what you burn in to. Thanks. Wooden cake stand 1

    Hmmm, not the easiest thing to search. I tried putting in things like extra large ( as it mostly seems to be 20cm or less) unfinished log slices, or log slice for pyrography and it may prove quite tricky. You could try calling a few florists/garden centres to see if they can get hold of anything (but just tell them it's for an art project as I'll bet they'd overcharge u based on the word wedding!) Good luck!

    Thanks Louise. Yes, it's not proving easy to do. Might have to go with an already customised one or leave one blank if not. Just thought it a nice idea.

    Hobby craft sell large log stands, may be worth a look. Or see if you have a local woodsman who may be able to sell you an offcut which will be pure so untreated
