The flames on this cake are made from poured and pulled hard sugar. The blunt end is just stuck into the fondant around the base of the arm. I don't know why you couldn't make it work the way you are suggesting. It doesn't seem like you would need the lump of fondant unless you want it raised up a little higher than the surface of the cake. I would just make the strips separately and attach them some way. good luck with the cake and post a picture so we can all see how wonderful it turns out!
Hi Dena..
