This cake has a "6" on the top. I need to do an "18". What's the trick on a number like eight, where you don't have much depth to insert a toothpick or skewer? I'm afraid it will fall over. Thanks!
What medium are you using? I think your best bet is to let the gumpaste (what I would use) dry really well so that it would be structurally sound and would hold up with a skewer - hope that helps
I think this is the greatest idea. Hope it helps.

Sorry, it's in another language, but you get the picture.

Thanks, but I'm trying to do numbers like on the cake link I provided.
Maybe have the base of the '8' a little flatter and use 2 skewers or cocktail sticks to attach so that each side of the '8' has a stick (left and right, not back and front - hope that makes sense!)
This is just a guess though as I haven't done it myself!
Good luck!
I agree with Napa. That is what I have done in the past. Just make sure you keep the top of the 8 and the 1 in preportion so the bottom of the 8 doesn't look too wide.

Ok, that's what I did. I was hoping there was some secret trick I didn't know about. Thanks!
