Cupcakes take this as well as a full cake: the pick is narrow enough to stand in a single cupcake top without splitting it. The 6 is molded plastic and rises 4 inches, tall enough to be the focal point of a small dessert.

Flip nothing and assume nothing about a 9; order the digit you need. Sold by the package (1 cake topper) or by the case (12 cake toppers).
