             How to stick them on top of the cake?
Simple! For a cake that is already coated with sugar paste: Just damp the top of the cake with a little bit of water, and let the sculpture sit! you might need to leave it to set it securely.  If you need to travel with the cake and the sugar creations on top, it’s best to keep them in the box, separate from the cake, and place them on when needed.

             How can I repair them?
Sugar work creations are quite fragile. If they are damaged, you can repair them by heating both ends for a brief moment with a gas torch, heat both areas until clear tiny bubbles appear, then press the two parts together to make the weld complete and let it set.
