Searching for a cake stand to hold about 200 cupcakes!?

Question

For our wedding, my fiance and I are planning on having a "cupcake cake" rather than an actual cake. We're going to serve a couple different flavors that way people can choose what they like. Now, though, I am searching for some kind of tiered cake or dessert stand that can hold about 200 cupcakes. Most of the ones I've found max out around 50 or so. Or the really large ones cost almost $200. I mean, I guess if all else failed we could have a couple stands. But I would love to find one that could hold them all if possible and not be so expensive. Thanks so much!

Making one would not be hard at all. Cut plywood circles (or have them cut them for you at home depot) and use glass blocks or bricks between the tiers.  You don't need to worry about putting all 200 cupcakes on display at once.  If you're having the event catered, have the banquet staff replace the cakes as your guests take them, or display the remaining cakes on a pretty tray next to your beautiful cupcake "cake".

Congratulations!  Enjoy your big day!
