I'm going to make this cake for my son's graduation party and was wondering - anybody know what kind of wire that is for the stars (gauge, etc)? I've never put fondant cutouts onto wire before so I'm not sure exactly what to use.
i'm not 100% on the gauge but it could be 9
but floral wire works great for these things
if you buy the floral stem wire at walmart, it pretty much only comes in 2 sizes and the thinner size is green so just get the silver one 
you can use your own judgement if it seems like it will hold up something slightly heavy without bending under the weight
Hi, I would use 22 guage wires and I wouldn't use fondant only. Either gumpaste or 50/50 mix of fondant and gumapste.
I agree, although 20 guage should be fine too. To keep the stars on the wires without sliding down are 2 methods that I know of. You can either heat up the wire with a lighter and stick the star on or you can put some glue (tylose & water mixed together is what I use) on the wire or the bottom of the star where the wire will be inserted.
