Hello everyone! 

I have 3 Disney princess toys to put on top of my daughters birthday  cake. What’s the best way to get them to stay upright? They have small feet, and aren’t very tall. They would probably stand fine on buttercream but the cake is covered in fondant. I was wondering if I should make a fondant base for them, press their feet in it and let it dry, then just attach the fondant base to the top of the cake. Any ideas if that would work? Has anyone had this problem and figured out what works? 

Worst case scenario I could sit them down but I’d prefer to have them stand.

Thanks!

I like your idea of making the fondant base.   Melted choco is probably going to be your next best bet.

Can you somehow tie a bamboo skewer to the leg or the back of the doll? ( using masking tape or tie wrap maybe?) This would not ruin the dolls and would be easy to hide with the dresses of the princess. You can then stick the skewer in the cake.

Great idea! I will have a look at the dolls and see if a skewer would work! If it doesn’t work out then I’ll go ahead and try the fondant base.

You our ladies are so helpful! Thank you! 

I always drill a small hole in one or both of the feet and stick a small wooden dowel in there to attach it to the cake. 

That is brilliant! Thank you!
