How Do You Anchor Whimsical Wire Toppers?

I am in the middle of doing a princess first birthday cake in which there will be (hopefully 
), a whimsical wire topper. Before I destroy this already problematic cake, I need some advice on how to anchor the wires so they don't topple and pull out. Seems easy enough, but I know fondant is quite heavy...so seems to me gravity would certainly take its toll. Any of you CC'er's out there have any suggestions, PLEASE PM me ASAP. I would greatly appreciate your help. 
. . . you can put straws in your cake (to act like a sleeve more or less) . . . then the wires are not actually touching the cake and they will stay put . . . hope that make sense . . .
I use coffee stirrers
. . .ahh yes, even better . . . 
I just did a "bouquet" of crazy loopy wires with balls on the ends. Of course, I sunk a SPS leg into the middle of the top tier, and put all the wires down into that. There were a lot of wires and it looked like they were exploding out of the center of the cake.
Sorry for the double post! Thanks to all of you, the straw worked great!
