When it comes to sticking cake toppers onto cakes, there are several options for sticks that can be used. One common choice is wooden skewers or bamboo sticks, which can be easily cut to desired lengths and inserted into the base of the topper before being placed into the cake. These sticks provide stability and support for the topper while being safe for consumption. Another option is plastic dowels or lollipop sticks, which are often used for smaller cake toppers or when a more discreet appearance is preferred.
