I have seen a lot of cakes where wire has been used to hold features of the cake in mid-air (i.e., fish, butterflies, etc).

I'm just wondering if there is any specific type of wire I should use for this, more from the point that part of the wire will be inserted in the cake. Wouldn't want the cake to taste like metal around the wire - not sure if it would, but i thought i would ask.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for pointing me in that direction. I did a search for wire before posting but nothing came up. Your help is greatly appreciated!

I'm wondering about copper wire. Is it ok to use on cakes?
Thanks!
