2 Spray-paint your nutcracker in a crisp white hue and let dry. Dress it with a tiny toque. Use a glue gun to secure the base of the nutcracker to the inner side of the baking pan so that the nutcracker stands upright when hanging from the wall.Picking the perfect white cake stand isn’t exactly a cakewalk – for a plain white pedestal, there sure are a lot of options.
