I need to put a fondant alphabet topper on a cake. I have made these before and inserted them in cakes using skewers or sticks. However this time I had to make a cursive letter "V". I made the V and it has dried up well. I also inserted 2 sticks in it. But I just realised that if I do insert these sticks into the cake, there is a chance they may slide and cut through the cake because they are diagonal and not vertical!! Any suggestions on what I can do to prevent that please!!
If I make fondant letters which you upright on a cake I roll the fondant out as thin as possible and I also add cmc to the fondant. I insert the toothpicks before the letters dry with a bit of edible glue rubbed on and only by about 1/4 of an inch or so. Like that I can insert the toothpick vertical. Never had a problem of a letter falling of a toothpick. By the time it's dry it's bonded together very well.
Hope my way of describing it makes any sence...
