is it possible to get your SUGAR CAKE TOPPER coated in some laquer

[pintradingwedding]

or something permanent so you can keep it like a little statue?

I believe you can buy spray lacquer at craft stores that would do the trick!

ok, this is totally weird, but years ago, i was in a ballet company and we used to spray our sweaty pointe shoes with laquer and it would stay...not to gross you out, but if it could work on ballet shoes, i have no doubt that it would work on a cake topper...---ok, i just read this to df and he said that..."laquer is diluted and consists of either water or oil...the water may disolve a layer or two of the sugar and the oil based laquer will over time turn yellow..."df would recomend a porceline model of your cake topper...he's very handy!!! hope this helps!!! (it's not very often that we get a man's opinion on these boards!!!)

I wouldn't spray it. It would probably discolor and be kinda gross looking. You should find a glass dome/display that can be airtight and display it in that. The glass will keep out dust etc. and as long as it is in the air condition it should last for a good long while but probably not forever.

No expert here, but what about clear nail polish? I used that on clay and it stayed. I would ask the pastry chef who made it what he/she recommends.

Your Frog was made from a material called modeling chocolate, which is very similar in composition to Tootsie Rolls. There isn't much within the material that will actually decay. The worst thing that will happen is it will continue to dry out, and eventually show a few cracks. The frogs are modeled with some color in the modeling chocolate, but he is also painted with food color. If you try to spray him, you run the risk of the colors becoming rehydrated, and they may run. Any form of liquid applied to his crown will remove the gold painting. Your best bet is to keep him cool and dry. A dome placed over him will retain moisture and warmth, and may cause some molding of the sugars within the modeling chocolate.

A display case that is not air tight will keep the dust off. Someone suggested a case similar to what doll collectors use.

I have kept fondant icing figures from birthday cakes in a cabinet. My son is 18 next week and I still have the "castle" I made for his 1st birthday cake. Maybe this modelling chocolate is different to modelling icing, I have found moisture is the only thing that affects it, so my advice would be to store him behind glass with maybe some little sachet of desicant ( silica crystals ) just to be on the safe side.
