Tammy from She Wears Flowers made this spider plate that I love:
It is too cute for words and it makes me extra happy because I get to resurrect an old unused cake plate!
When Toots turned one, I needed a black cake plate for her birthday cake. I found a TON of cute ones online, but had waited too long to actually order one. The only one I found at the store was a lot more money than I wanted to spend on a cake plate. The last place I looked was Target. After stricking out I decided to buy a cheap black plate and bowl and just glue them together:
It worked perfectly for her birthday cake and when it came time for her to tear into the cake I actually took it apart so that she just had her cake on a plate:
(I used hot glue, so it wasn't permanant, but there are a ton of permanant options you can use to stick it together).
After the party I ended up finding a black cake plate that I love at Hobby Lobby for super cheap, so this one stayed a plate and bowl and is a random mismatched piece in my cupboard. But no more! Tammy bought almost the exact same plate and cup at Target (just the 2010 version):
And with some pipe cleaners and googley eyes turned it into the cutest spider cake plate ever:
So I am going to get my bowl and plate out, use her tutorial and something a little stronger than hot glue, and make myself a spider cake plate!

I Love the spider plate and I will be making one for cookies asap! Too cute!
Isn't it cute! Of course today of all days I can't find the black plate! I have the bowl! Looks like I am going to have to take a trip to Target. We are having two Halloween parties, so I may make a couple!
Really, really cute. I love both the spider plate and the platter with the little chubby legs!
