I agree with Miranda, wooden skewers running through the objects are key but you have to make sure they are vertically stable too. For example, I recently made a circus cake with an elephant balancing on a ball with a number balancing on his nose. I put wire through his nose and the number. I put a wood skewer through the entire elephant, down one leg, into the ball, and 4" longer to fit into the cake. Only problem, it turned out too big to fit it on the cake so I had to cut the skewer off and glue him to the fondant board, so he lost his stability and I had to kind of lean/glue him to the side of the cake to keep him straight up. I’m sure you’ll plan better than I did :-). http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/58070. good luck.
