We were planning on adding tiny power poles to our cake.

After help from a kind soul, I received these cuties in the mail:

Cake power poles!

Now, since wood poles are for sissies, I’m going to have to paint them silver for some tubular steel pole action.

I’m thinking silver edible paint? That way I won’t have to worry about poisoning anyone.

Or I could just use normal, non-toxic paint, and leave the bottoms unpainted as we stick them into the cake?

And after we decide that, the next question is - what to use for cables?

Wire, I think, would be too unwieldy. I can just see a piece coming undone and springing a big hole right into the side of the cake. *shudder*

I do have jewelry wire, which is a little less rigid, that we could use -

Or maybe some embroidery thread (though I’d have to get some in black)?

In any case, I’m pretty excited about this cake now. Mr. Sewing and I will have to visit a hobby shop and get a cute little LED lamp for the top.

Why is everything in miniature always so cute? Does silver paint make your tongue sparkle? What do the power poles look like where you live? (The construction tends to differ by area.)
