GreenPartyGoods.com ~ Eco Cupcake Stands Review & Giveaway

Planning my kids' birthday parties is something I really enjoy doing and prepare many weeks in advance for. With everything from the decorations to the cake...it's important to me that things are perfect for the big day! As I planned for Kaelyn's birthday earlier this month, I decided that along with the cake, we would have cupcakes. Not only would this ensure that there would be enough for all our guests, but it was a fun addition to her Hello Kitty themed birthday party. I wanted to make sure that we had a way to display them, and in my search for a cake stand, came across Green Party Goods.
With many celebrations using disposable products, the need for stylish and sensible eco-friendly products was realized. In February of 2008, Greentrepreneur, Carole Soss launched GreenPartyGoods.com, a source for eco-friendly party goods and non-toxic toys and gifts. With the large selection of products offered, it's become a one-stop-shop for all your eco-friendly entertaining needs. There is sure to be something that suits every occasion including fun birthdays, elegant weddings, and more!

When I first came across Green Party Goods, I was amazed with their great selection of green party goods. With everything from party favors and decorations to tableware and cupcake stands...there is everything I could possibly need to plan all kinds of parties. I was especially drawn to their adorable Eco Cupcake Stands, and was thrilled when I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review one.

We were sent the 3 Tiered Polka Dot Mini Round Eco Cupcake Stand to review.

Features/Benefits:

• Eco-Friendly Cupcake Stand - made from sturdy recycled corrugated cardboard
  
• Decorated on both sides
• Easy assembly
• Easy to store
• Coated for easy cleaning
  

When the Cupcake Stand arrived, I was excited to check it out. As I took it out of the box I was happy to see that there were only 5 pieces that needed to be assembled.

By simply putting the two base pieces for the riser together and sliding each tier on top....I had it put together in no time!
Once assembled, I was instantly impressed with the size. When I saw the word 'mini' as part of the product name, I wondered if it might be too small for even small parties and get-togethers. I quickly found that couldn't be farther from the truth! Having 4" between tiers and the ability to hold 50+ cupcakes is perfect for any birthday party or get together. In fact, there's even room on the top for a topper if you want! It could easily be used with other desserts, sandwiches...even holiday cookies!

To cover the raw edges of the cardboard, GreenPartyGoods.com offers double-sided tape and several options for ribbon. We were sent the tape and pink, green and purple ribbon to complete the look. By simply rolling the double-sided tape along the ribbon and attaching it to the edges, I had an adorable cupcake stand ready for a very special little girl's birthday party! I love that you can choose the ribbon to customize the look you're going for. It adds a splash of color and really completes the look. I love it!

We used it the day of Kaelyn's birthday party and received several compliments on the quality and how cute it is. It held all of her cupcakes, including a topper beautifully! The cardboard is very durable and something I know we'll be able to use for many more parties in the future. The fact that it has a coated surface makes it extremely easy to clean also.


When it came time for the party to end, I didn't have to worry about trying to find a place to store it. I simply took the tiers off and slid the base apart...making it super compact and easy to store pretty much anywhere until the next time we use it. Anything that helps me save space in my already over-crowded kitchen is much appreciated!

I love everything about this reusable, recyclable cupcake stand! It's incredibly stylish, while offering the durability and convenience we all look for. Had I thought about it sooner, I would have definitely liked to purchase their Mini Zebra Eco-Cupcake Stand with green ribbon for Kaden's animal themed birthday party this weekend. Isn't it great?!

Of course, the Eco Cupcake Stands are just a few of the many products offered at GreenPartyGoods.com. The next time you're looking for eco-friendly entertaining products...I would highly recommend taking a look at all they have to offer!
