Hello

Need some advise, tips, help on how to insert floral wire in a cake and get it to hold. I have some stars on wires that I would like to use on my cake and I am thinking if i just insert the wire it will somehow not work. It is a fondant covered cake.

Thanks in advance

You will probably hear a lot of people mention that you should not stick wires directly into cakes, there's a big thread about it here:

You can insert posey picks, coffee straws, or drinking straws into the cake and then stick the wires into that. The straws will stop the wires from coming into contact with the cake, and will help hold the wires in place (the link also contains more detailed instructions on how to safely do this). hth

The same topic is being discussed in the Decorating Forum....

HTH!

I use the Wilton flower picks-I put some candy clay down into it and stick the wires in that. They don't move an inch.

HTH.

Thanks Everyone. I used flower picks. I filled it with fondant. Let it dry a bit and them inserted the wires and then into cake. didn't move or spin and made it threw 1 1/2 hr drive.

Thanks again

Glad it turned out well for you!
