Shower for a friend at work. Based on a lamp from her registry. Meant to put a black& white ribbon on top but ran out of time! Ladybug is rice krispie treats.
thanks guys - Yes, it's a big dowel in the middle. 7/8". The cake on top is sitting on a board that's about 3/4" thick. I drilled a 7/8" hole about halfway through the middle of the board, inserted the dowel, and then secured with a screw. Similar idea on the bottom, except I ended up using a small piece of wood glued to the bottom of a plastic cake cirle. Drilled a hole part-way through the wood and screwed the dowel in place.
Oh my gosh ~ I was just reading your post in the forum and I'm glad I didn't have to wait to see this cake. It is absolutley adorable. You did an awesome job! So what did the Mom-to-be and your other co-workers think about it? They'll be calling on you everytime they need a cake ~ yeah!
The first thought in my head when I saw this was WHAT A GREAT IMAGINATION! I've never thought of making a 'lamp' cake! You did a great job. This is way cute!!!

So I re-did this out of styrofoam and put it in the state fair (came out much better than this one!), and I won!! Got first place in the children's novelty cakes division and won best overall for amateur decorated cakes! I'm so excited!!
That is sooo stinkin' cute!!! Is that a huge dowel inthe center? Great Job!!! :)

Beautiful job!! What a unique idea!
