What's the easiest way to put a number made out of fondant as a cake topper? Thanks.

You can make the number about 1/2" thick and stick a sharpened dowel through it.

I rolled tapered snakes of colored fondant for the numbers I have done. Shaped into numbers and then inserted toothpicks into the bottom and left laying flat to dry.

If it's gumpste you can do it as late as the night before , fondant and tylose need a bit longer.
Ideally I do mine on Wed. for a Saturday cake.
You can roll ropes like the others mentioned or even print out what ever you need in a font you like or that matches the cake and use that as a template.
I print it out on cardstaock, cut it out with scissors and then trace/cut it out of the gumpaste. Then stick a toothpick in it and let it dry.

I personally find better to use Pastiage for the topper. Dries faster with better results. HTH
