Or you can snip off the stick part, file until it sits perfectly flat and add fake plants for an adorable fluted flower pot. Leave plain, paint or cover base with foil or cellophane for gift-giving.
Another idea is to turn it upside down and place a coffee stirrer on the spike to make a pendant light fixture. Add a clear bead inside for the bulb and secure to the ceiling with a fancy button or bead for the medallion.
Or, how about turning it into a birdbath for a smaller scale? Or add a handle for a cute basket or even use it upside down for a doll skirt. There are tons of possibilities. So go ahead... Enjoy your cake and make a new mini, too!
