Help With A Ceiling Fan Cake

I've had a request to make a cake shaped like a ceiling fan for a babies 1st birthday (it's his favorite thing in the world). Has anyone done something like this? I can picture cutting out the blades kind of, but I'm not sure you would know it's a ceiling fan. Thanks for any help you guys have!
here's an idea:
staked round make the motor
in center strong dowel
then fan supported on wood block that surronds dowel
(i envisioned it being like the tinker toy hub shown.)
small dowels extending from hub support blades
for extra security, make blades from cardboard and cover with fondant (see on piece pattern..stronger than multi-pieces)
twist blades
if want light too, extend dowel higher and attach cake plate (i'd probably use one of thes hollow colloum supports made for wedding cakes)
and then use sports ball pan or two-miniballs to make light globe.
Thanks for the ideas! These are awesome. Seeing it with tinker toys really helps me visualize it.
