The Big Question: Cupcakes or Cake?

So which do you choose? The giant sheet cake is a classic choice. Perfect for writing a long ‘Congratulations’ message to your child on their great accomplishment. If you don’t have enough time or the budget for a fancy sheet cake, simply purchase a store bought one (The grocery will customize it for free with words) and add it to our cake stand!

The best part about this graduation cake stand is that it has an area beneath it that would allow you to also place cupcakes! Cake and cupcakes? Now you are winning! Purchase here
