Chipboard Letters

Cake Topper Update? Help!?

Ok, I posted a question yesterday about cake toppers (Actually 2 questions). I’m wearing ruby red slippers….and i wanted an oz topper….someone gave me this answer

“I know you said you hated the monogram idea (and I don’t blame you) but you could always buy some chipboard letters and then coat them in modge podge and then red glitter to tie the whole theme together..it would look pretty with the black ribbon and elegant. Sparkly, I like sparkly – it would be an eye catcher for sure!”

I LOVE THIS IDEA!
however, how would I do this to make sure the glitter didn’t fall off the letters and get into the cake…..some kind of stand maybe? but How could i get the letters to stand up?
EDIT:

in conjunction with this monogram topper, without getting too tacky, We may get the bride/groom topper where the brides on the bottom tier with her hand reaching out..and the groom on the next level trying to help his bride up…I LOVE IT..omg im so excited i could scream!

Okay….hmmm…in order to get your monogram letters to stand up straight, you are probably going to have to either mount them on something or push them down into the cake.

If it was me, I would want to save them, so I would mount them on something.

You have a couple choices:

1. thin plexiglas cut in a circle – you can lay it right on top tier of the cake with the monogram mounted on it, and then use the edible glitter, or some roses to hide the plexiglass..although I don’t think you will need to hide it, but for aesthetic appearances maybe.

2. Buy a cake board the size of your top tier and pretty much do the same thing…cake boards come in all different thicknesses and sizes.

I love the plexiglass idea because I could just see that monogram sitting up on a mantle later on and no one would see the plexiglass unless they got really close.

I would talk to a scrapbooker to see how they would mount the letters in your home town. I think the first thing I would try (as a scrapbooker) is using Diamond Glaze – it will bond anything to anything and is made for scrapbooking stuff, so its perfect for that.
If you are doing a 2D effect – then cut tiny triangles to post the letters up so they have a stand – kindof like a pic frame.

I think I would buy two each of the letters and do a 4D effect – that way you could position the letters in an X shape and people could see the letters from all around. (I wish I could exlpain the image in my head better!)

Anyways, hope this helps!

EDIT: I just did a search – take a look at this: http://www.weddingcuts.com/monogram-cake-toppers.asp
Scroll down a bit – You could probably mount some type of prongs to the letters and then push them down into the cake.
Honestly – I wouldn’t worry about a bit of glitter getting on the cake – no one will notice or care.
