Hi everyone!! Need help!! Im makung a 15 years cake that needs to have a big 15 standing on top, i dont have large cutters, so im making the log/snake kind, and im ok on the 1 i think, but i cant get the 5 to stand...so im remaking them, but need suggestions on how to... Numbers will be about 3 inches tall, and i will paint them silver when done... Pls help, cake is due monday night!! Thank u!!!

you can use a bamboo skewer and put it thru the right side of the number that curves, make it a week ahead of time so it gets good and stiff

This is in another language, but the pictures are pretty good. Maybe you can do it flat instead of the log and snake. Two layers, wire in the center, completely hidden (and I think very secure).
