Tiffany Lamp

Tiffany Lamp on Cake Central

I made this for the Wilton cake decorating contest. The stand is a real lamp stand, but the shade is a cake baked in a bowl and covered with fondant. the finial is fondant. I painted it with luster dust.

What a great idea! Beautiful work~ And another strike against Wilton!!!! They can't make decent fondant either...............

The lamp stand has a masonite cake circle screwed onto it. Then I just set the cake on top. Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone! Kinda eases the disappointment of not placing!

You have the best style going! May I suggest getting a different background for the photos? I found my work looked better when I did that. Awesome creativity you have.

Thanks! You just made my day! I guess I really should find a different background than my dining room table...

I disagree! The backdrop makes the lamp look right at home on the table! But for judging, yes, another background. Wonderful cake!!

have to agree with vickymacd........I kinda thought you did that on purpose......I just assumed it was sitting on a desk or a sofa table or something....I was sitting here thinking you were just brilliant for thinking to take the photo with it like that LOL....this is one of the most awesome creations I've ever seen

Growing up my Grandma had the prettiest tiffany lamp sitting on her little reading table. Seeing this made me think of her! I love it! And I thought it looked just right with the background!

Absolutely beautiful! I've always wanted to try one that looks like this, but haven't yet. I don't think mine could compare to yours!
