Below was my first attempt. As you can see below, the candlesticks were too large for the piece and it was very lopsided. It really also needs a larger cake pan on the bottom, but part of being thrifty is using what you have on hand. As I was taking my first attempt apart, I found that the the candlesticks actually unscrewed and inside each one was a smaller candlestick which turned out to be more proportionate. My son suggested painting the cake tins, which turned out to be a great idea.
