I'm playing a wild magic sorcerer, and I'd really like to play up the randomness a bit more in out-of-combat scenes. One obvious way to do this would be to roll for surges on cantrips. BUT I feel like the effects on the normal wild magic table are a bit too strong for what cantrips can do.
Has anyone either created or come across a wild magic table that's meant to be used with cantrips instead of leveled spells? Maybe a list of random effects from Prestidigitation?

I mean, it depends what you want out of it. Here's some random fun magic effects that could be used for OOC Wild Magic:
One non-magical inanimate object within 30 ft of you becomes magically animated. This object is neutral towards all creatures in the vicinity and acts on it's own initiative. It the object has legs it gains a 30 ft walk speed, otherwise it has a 10ft walk speed as it vibrates its way across the floor.
Non-magical vegetation within 10 ft of you withers and dies.
Non-magical vegetation within 10 ft of you grows to double its size and blooms.
Your hair and clothing change a random colour which lasts for 24 hours.
You float 2 inches above the floor for 6 seconds.
One non-magical object within 30 ft of you that is made of glass, turns into water.
Non magical fires within 30 ft of you instantly blow out.
Torches, candles, fireplaces and other intentionally flammable objects within 30 ft f you instantly light themselves.
A strong breeze whips at your hair carrying a whispering voice that you can't understand.
A tiny storm cloud appears over your head and rains on you, after 1 minute the cloud dissipates.
Harmless tiny lightning bolts jump from your fingers to any creature or object you touch during the next minute.
A random Mephit appears in a space within 10 ft of you, its only goal is to seek out and hide within an area filled with its appropriate elemental material - e.g. a magma mephit would run and hide in a fireplace. It returns to its home plane after 10 minutes.
You grow a magnificent moustache that lasts until you finish a long rest.
Gravity is reversed for you, as per reverse gravity, except that you slowly fall in each direction taking no damage.
All non-hostile animals of CR <= 1/4 within 30 ft of you are instantly infatuated with you and try to get as close to you as possible. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
All food within 15 ft of you tastes disgusting to the next person that eat it, then reverts to normal.
You grow to a Large size for the next 10 minutes.
You shrink to the size of a mouse for the next 10 minutes.
You can only speak in a randomly chosen language from: Elvish, Dwarvish, Orcish, Halfling, or Giant, for the next minute.
