Celebrating Diwali with a cake

Hope all of you had a wonderful and safe Diwali. We had a great time with friends at a potluck party and I took a Diwali themed cake. I had been meaning to try something traditional on cake, something you don't see often. Here is my Diwali creation.


Its a strawberry cake with buttercream icing and decorations.


The lamps are made out of Fondant and are completely edible, wick and all.
