There are some great ones in the gallery that might inspire you. You could pm the people that did them to ask for tips. I just saw today at the craft store some small battery operated tea light candles. I thought to myself that one of them would look cool inside of a lighthouse cake!

well I have never done it and I have no idea how many it needs to feed but my 1st reaction was to make 3 or so 8 inch cakes, stack them on top of each other then make 2 or so 6 inchers do the same, then do a cupcake for the top, sculpt them a bit toss on some white fondant, a little black door at the base, then blue around the top part for the windows, then top the thing off with white again and make a little white ball for the very top.
Again I have never made one so I am not sure how in the real world it would look, buit in theory it should work....oh yeah don't forget to drive a dowel through the whole thing before putting the cupcake on..might even want to consider some cake boards as well for good measure

I'm working on one now.....the cake is due this Saturday. I received instructions from a CC'er (thanks again!) and made a few changes so it could work for my particular cake. I made the lighthouse by wrapping fondant around a plastic cup. I made the railing by cutting small squares in a strip of gumpste and drying it around a can. The roof was made by drying it on a muffin tin. The roof is going to sit on top of a votive holder with a battery operated tealight in it. I'll have pictures of the finished product over the weekend!
