Welcome to cake central. It probably would be best to arrange the flowers on or in something, then set that on the cake.
I often fasten a piece of floral oasis to a small cardboard arrange the flowers (fresh or silk). Then the board can sit on the top tier. It makes saving the arrangment easier, and less messy.
If the arrangement is heavy, you may want a dowel to support is slightly.
I often insert a 3oz plastic cup into the top of the cake. I arrange the flowers in another 3oz cup and insert it into the one recessed into the cake. This is especially helpful if using fresh flowers that wilt quickly as you can use a small amount of water in the cup.
For my wedding cake we used silk flowers for the topper. My mom used to be a florist.. she used to use the lids from spary paint cans..
For my wedding topper we used a 3 inch styrofoam ball cut in half and covered in ribbon so it was safe to touch the cake.
I have heard of people using things like the lid to a butter tub and such as well.
HTH.
