Learn how to easily add a timeless gilded touch to your serveware. Stay with me as I walk you through this step-by-step tutorial to achieve a gold edge cake stand, complete with supply links for your convenience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a weakness for pretty serveware and am always on the lookout for new and unique pieces to add to my collection. While I was planning my daughter\u2019s first birthday party, <\/a><\/em>I landed on a \u201cWild One\u201d wildflower theme. I came across beautiful transparent floral and gold tiered trays and knew I had to have one. But I didn\u2019t like the price tag I was finding online, so I decided to DIY my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I outlined the complete project tutorial here,<\/a><\/em> but wanted to write a separate post to detail the gold edge cake stand process. The gilded gold edges elevate the final product and pull together the gold leaf worked into the trays. <\/p>\n\n\n

When I was researching how to complete this 3 tier resin tray,<\/a><\/em> the inspiration pictures I found all had gold edges but very few tutorials I found explained what materials to use, or how to achieve this look. After some trial and error on my part, I found the absolute best product for the job. For only $10, you can easily achieve perfectly gilded edges to put the finishing touches on your tray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This specific gold edge cake stand tutorial is to add gilding to the edges of resin trays. Maybe you purchased a resin tray online, or created your own 3 tiered dried floral tray first. But make sure you have your resin tray, coasters, etc. to add gold edging to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Paint your Edges Gold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This process could not be easier. After two previous failed attempts with different products, I found success with this paint pen. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I used a paint brush and my tried and true Rub n’ Buff. <\/a><\/em>Rub n’ Buff is great for these projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–Refrigerator Refresh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

–Framed Intaglio Art with Gold Edges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

–Pop Up Camper Hardware Remodel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

… but not so much for this project to be used on resin. You live and you learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I tried this metallic gold paint I have used previously to create my gilded edges on 3D oyster art. <\/a><\/em>However, this did not work either! Both products were too transparent and did not give the opaque and bold pop of gold I was going for. <\/p>\n\n\n
