My hubby is wanting to add some effects to my cakes , like make them rotate & things like that.He is unable to find stores that sell such motors.We live in East Bay area in California.Any Idea which retail or online stores would sell these.We tried looking for these at hobby town but all they had was a 4000 RPM motor,however he is looking for a motor that has an RPM (Rotations per minute...........I guess that's wat he said it was )of maybe 5-40 per minute.

I'm naive to all of this. All thanks to the youtube video's that have him all charged up as he came across some cakes that have amazing special effects

I'd also like to know how to add lights in cakes - I guess these are tiny bulbs

TIA

I would think specialty hobby stores...the kind where you get the stuff for all the model planes and cars and such...sorry I can't be more help! Good question though!

check radio shack..

cannibalize toys

---
and many motors can have a rheostat (like a dimmer switch) hooked to them to slow them down

cannibalize toys =

find a toy with a motor in it.

rip toy apart to get to motor.

keep motor (and usually the battery holder too)

toss remains of toy.
