I love to create cakes based off someone's hobby or an inside joke I have with them. When brainstorming about what our friend is into and really enjoys....all we could come up with is her unending need to clean clean clean!! Her husband suggested a vacuum shaped cake. I'm thinkin that might be a little hard. Any other suggestions??

Sheet cakes carved could be made into a vacuum with a fondant hose. Or you could make a fondant or bc covered cake and make a nice cartoony modelled figure(friend) with a scarf on her head, with modelled vacuum cleaner, bucket with mop, dust rags lying around, maybe let the bucket spill some water and her with a really surprised expression on her face.

how's about this?

use square or rounds to do the stacked tiers based upon her real vacuum.

rice krispies for handle -- mold around dowel you can shove into cake to support.

body is just standard stacked tier method w/ cakeboards and dowels and central dowel all the way through

base is carved sheet cake.

Who could possibly be more obsessive/compulsive about cleanliness than Adrian Monk:

How about a rectangle cake made to look like a container, and filled with duster, rags, spray bottles, etc made from fondant?

When I was reading your question I thought about Queen, I want to break free with Freddy dressed as a woman and a vacuum. Maybe you can modelling something like that?
