Hi all,

I am making a birthday cake for an electrician.
I did a search and found a few pictures of lightbulbs but I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas or inspirational pictures.

Thanks! icon_smile.gif

Electrical outlit was the first thing that came to my mind also. Do you know anymore about his job? As in does he do residential work? Installations? Repair work? The Electrical company?

Here is a list of a few other items I can think of:
-Extension cord-rolled up (bundt pan would probably work for this... or fondant rope set ontop of a cake)
-Ceiling Fan
-A Plug (just the end of an extension cord)
-GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) here are some different variations of some. http://www.budgetlighting.com/gfx/tower/inline_gfci_tower_2.jpg
-Electrical piping around edge of square cake (silver tubing)
-Hard Hat
-Safety Glasses


Oh OH oh... Ok It is coming together now.....
Square, Hex, Rectangular Cake
Electrical Piping around edge of cake
Writting of "Happy Birthday" - An electrical cord in cursive pluged into an outlit.

And here are a few photos I found when I did a Google Image Search, Hopefully some of these can spark an idea.

Ok these should give you a starting point, I'll see if I can find anything else, if you don't like these.

Forgot... If he works with the electrical company, maybe an electrical pole with a truck backed up to it?

Or here is a picture of the Electrical Formulas.. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/boyce_smith/new-3.gif

If not... Here are some more ideas I found. Not sure if you are looking for funny or more serious But here are some more images I found.

Thanks jdogga for the idea about the outlet.
