DIY Cupcake Tower in Action

I posted here the 5-tier DIY cupcake tower my Mum & I got from Divisoria made by RM Boxes for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. After I assembled the cupcake tower, I lined each layer with wax paper so it will stay neat even after use as I planned to use it again since it's pretty sturdy. I adorned the sides with bright pink ribbons (the same colour as my little girl's dress) which I also bought in one of the 'bangketas' in Divisoria for P15 a roll. The finished product, by no means, does not look DIY!

Red Ribbon 'Balloons' cake for P1,000

I ordered the 10-inch cake on top at Red Ribbon for P1,000. The cake is themed 'balloons' and the colour matched the Disney Princess theme. The cake was originally topped with a ceramic bear sitting on a chair. I did not want the bear topper but Red Ribbon could not 'customise' it for me so I had to remove it and replace it with Disney Princesses ceramic cake toppers which we also bought at Best Way for P125 for a set of five. This is also where we put the 'Happy Birthday' candles (P35 at 168 Divisioria). We opted for this rather than the number '3' since my kiddo wants to blow as many candles as possible.

And as promised, my Mum made 80 yummy Mocha cupcakes in pink and purple which she topped with pink sugar flowers (also from Best Way) and individually placed in cupcake boxes for guests to take home.
