Hi Everyone 

I'm new to this site so apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask this question. I'm making an Alice in wonderland cake soon and wondered if anyone had actually used a real cup and saucer to the top of the cake? The person requesting the cake would like her daughter to be able to keep it afterwards, but I'm not sure how to attach it or if it will be too heavy? 

Much appreciate some feedback. thanks

it probably would not be to heavy -- because the weigh is dispersed evenly -- as opposed to say a 7" tall lladro bride & groom -- but you can cut a small board for it and dowel it just like it was another tier  -- tape it all together so it doesn't wobble -- good to go --

best to you

There are many different types of cups & saucers.   I have seen some very thin ones and some more heavy ones similar to mugs.  Let the customer buy the one she wants reminding of her that it needs to be as thin/light weight as possible.

I imagine a fine china cup and saucer would be lighter than a gum paste or pastillage cup amd saucer.  Should be no problem.

even a weighty topper of any kind is no problem if you board & dowel it
