How do you get the fondant or what looks like fondant to stick up off the cake. It looks like wire with the fondant piece stuck in the top. I have seen lots of stars like this!

Water will make fondant adhere .. I'm not sure which cake you're referring to ... it could be the star is wired..

I've used spaghetti inserted in MMF letters to have them stand off the cake. I was going with the "everything is edible" idea instead of using skewers or toothpicks or wire.

When the letters were slightly dry but still very soft, I gently shoved the spaghetti in each piece allowing enough length to insert into the cake for anchoring.

I used angel hair pasta but I think a thin linguine would be better b/c it wouldn't spin. I had problems with my letters rotating.
