Table Turned Cake Stand No Tools Required

As you all know, I had a huge birthday bash for my little one, Sophie on Halloween. I was in a pinch for a cake stand to hold 24 cupcakes as well as my saltwater taffy centerpiece. Here is what I came up with...
I thought I would use this little 2 tier end table that I had purchased at a vintage show in Coeur d'Alene this summer.

The problem: is it 3 feet tall. Way too tall for a kids party with a super tall centerpiece. Dare I cut off the legs?

Baby Owl cupcakes that I made fit perfectly here on the bottom level of the table. 

Sophie and I had a ball making this taffy centerpiece. I found tutorials for both the owl cupcakes and taffy centerpiece over at Tipjunkie.com

It turned out to be just the perfect size without the legs. I didn't cut them off though...

 I just unscrewed them. {Joe's brilliant idea.}


How does that old saying go: Necessity is the mother of invention.... ?
