Hi -
I am in the process of making some figurines out of polymer clay (FIMO, Sculpy...)is it safe to use these as toppers on a cake the way you would with fondant?
I'm making them out of clay instead of fondant so that the recipient can kepp the figures and so that I don't run into the problem of the fondant not drying...

I do not htink that polymer clay is food safe.
Can you make the figures out of gumpaste or a gumpaste/fondant mix so that they dry hard and completely and can be preserved?

We have had this discussion several times in the past. I would guess the threads are still in the archives, if you wish to research it further.
But to answer your question, no, polymer clay is not food-safe. But you can attach it to a topper stand (like the plastic ones Wilton sells), and use it on the cake. Then only the topper stand will be touching the cake.

If you put a base, even cardboard, under them they should be fine. I just would not put them directly on the cake.
