Hello,I am very new to motors. The last time I tried to use one my object that I wanted to rotate ended up being too heavy for my motor and I couldnt get it to spin. My item just fell to the floor due the weight.Anyway, below is a link to a video from online I want to put together a motor system to make something move around the perimeter of a cake just like the video / witch.The first video shows the final result and the second link shows a partial motor.facebook.com/DinkydoodleDesigns/videos/1079632945475304/

I wanted to provide additional color to the project and an updated video link.

I know I need to order a lazy Susan piece and I know where to order the white top and bottom pieces. While I am not using a witch to fly around the cake, the circumference for the flying object is about 8-9"
I need assistance with exact,y what to order and how to attach the flying piece.
Thank you
You would need a lazy Susan with a relatively large diameter hollow center in order to support the rest of the tiers. The motor is supported at the front and the rear, and those supports hold up the other layers.

You will need to solder the wires to the motor - if you know someone who is adept at soldering, it would take them a few seconds and ensure it’s done correctly.
You can make he rest of out of a block of wood.
Hi Coleman, Thank you for responding to my question.
As a follow up, would the groove of the lazy Susan just fall into the tire treads and hook on to make the witch move around the cake?
Do you know what I need and where I attach “something” to the build you describe and then to the witch to rotate around the cake. For example, do I need to attach a rod to the center of the tire somehow and then the witch piece to the end of the rod as in the first link?
Imagine there needs to be a rigid support between the bottom tier and the top tier of the cakes. The lazy Susan’s center hole needs to be large enough to pass that support. The motor and wheel can be placed around (or even through) that support and the tire presses against the lazy Susan to rotate it. The motion will come from the friction of the rotating tire against the top of the lazy Susan.
