How Do I Recreate This In Gumpaste?

I'm trying to make a 3-d cake topper of this image, but am having a hard time figuring out how to get the ice cream figures to stay standing. The only thing I can think of it to use a wooden dowel for the ice pop stick and make it long enough so that it goes into the cake and holds the ice pop up. I would do the same for the ice cream cone but the dowel wouldn't be visible.
Would this work, and is there any easier way? Any tips would be greatly appreciated 
Great, thank you!
Now I'm wondering...should I sharpen the end of the dowel that's going to go into the cake? I'm worried about it cracking or distorting the icing if it's pushed into the cake with a dull point...
I'm actually making the toppers for someone else (and will be shipping it to them), so I won't be making the cake and won't be able to put the topper on myself.
So I made the toppers...it was actually very easy! 
I'm letting them dry now (laying down with the dowel already inserted) and hopefully they'll stand up ok once they've dried
I've seen those every time I go to the grocery store and I think "I could use those with cakes...", but I never buy them. Maybe I'll pick some up once I run out of dowels
