The Bride just dropped off her wedding cake topper and I'm confused. It's just a square piece of acrylic with their names engraved on it. It isn't very wide and I'm afraid that it won't just sit up there with out falling off. I don't want it taking a tumble and messing up the cake I have worked so hard on!!!!!!!! Any suggestions? She wasn't planning on putting any flowers or anything else on top but this topper she gave me. HELP!?

Sorry! It's 4"X4" square and 1/2" thick. It's going on a 6" square top tier. I suggested some flowers so it would have something to lean against but she is having Calla lilies and didn't think the flower shop had any more and couldn't think of anything they would have that would mesh well. It has NO base at all. She just thought I could stick it down into the cake but I think that would look bad! I'm confused. 
I guess so. I've never worked with Gumpaste but have the stuff to make it. I'm hoping the Bride will get back to me SOON. If I did go that route, how long would it take for it to dry? If only the Bride had used her head. I guess most people that are not Cakers just don't think about stuff like that. I did not need any more stress this week!

What about setting it on the table in front of the cake? I have done that with cake toppers before.
I'm wondering if she would be O.K. with my setting it on the second tier so it could lean against the top tier? Or the bottom tier even. She wants this cake to be SO plain, she didn't want any flowers or even borders at all. Just ribbon. I'm so stressing about clean and straight edges. Plus it's going to be hot! I am relatively new to the wedding cake thing so it still stresses me out! I've got to get a grip!

hahaha. I think I am just going to tell her she has to get an easel of some kind. I am not going to set that on a cake that I spent hours getting smooth only to have it topple and leave gouges all down the front of it. I am still waiting to hear back from her. She was supposed to be talking to the Florist today who btw is her Grandma! I would think she could come up with something! If she doesn't agree, I don't know what I'm going to do! I'd love to just tell her the way it is going to be but they have paid me big bucks! I do not want to upset them!

I read thru this post. Anna31.....I think maybe the easel of some sort sounds good...they have them in acrylic. I have seen them in like Walmart, Target, etc. That would be the cleanest look. Good luck. Post picture.
Thank you! I will tell her that! I am not sure if they will have time to make a Wal-mart run with the wedding this weekend. We live an hour away from any town with a Wal-mart. A drawback to living in a small town. Anyway, I think you are right, the acrylic ones would look best, I'll let her know.
