ok, my sweet brother says he will make me a flower drying rack if i can find him a picture of what i want. i think i saw one like i want on cake boss, but not reall sure where it was. it was a big rectangle, with lots of wires for hanging flowers (almost like a cooling rack you would rest a cake or cookies on, but on long legs) so does anyone have a picture they can share
Want to know what I use? A window screen.
I bought a replacement screen (it's framed in wood) at Walmart for like 3 bucks and it's the same width as my bun rack (and it's adjustable and I open it a little so it's the same size as a full size pan) so I can hang it inside there. The wires poke right through the holes and they don't move around as much or get knocked off when the openings the flowers are hanging through are wide.
Oh, it's also good for drying flat things on because air circulates underneath it and promotes even drying.
i guess i'm a big dork here, i'm just not picturing it. like the mesh stuff thats on a window?
There's a think like what you are describing that is used in high school lockers -- it has "legs" and a grate -- I've seen lots of cakers use that in gumpaste classes. I don't know what it's called though.
Yes, it's an adjustable framed window screen. The screen itself isn't the kind that's like material though, it's a sturdier wire screen.
Oh, this thing wasn't adjustable. It was the width and depth of a high school locker and had "legs" on it -- presumably for putting shoes underneath and books on top.
You can get the wire rack that Buddy uses at Staples for $11 or $12. They come in a very small size and the size that buddy uses. I think the intended use of the rack is some kind of desk organizer because it's in that section of the store. I use that for drying flowers and it's great because you can dry lots of flowers at once.
You can get a rack meant to organize cabinets, too. I got this one for about $5 at Walmart; it's legs fold up for easy storage. You can kind of see mine in these pictures. I use it both to hang flowers upside down or to nest in the grid. For long flowers I put it on flipped plates or cake pans.

Great idea! I've been using the hanging lamp over my kitchen table! Upgrade!

Yes!! The one the gals used in class looked just like that and they said it was for school lockers. Would you mind telling us what section of Walmart has this?

It was definitely in housewares, either near the shelf paper or where they have stuff like flatware organizers for the drawers. I'm almost sure it wasn't seasonal with the back-to-school items. I have to go for groceries sometime this weekend (ugh) so I'll look and update this post.

Yes, that's what I use too. I've tried different things like everyone else, but found this to be the best. And it is in the housewares with the kitchen "organizing" things. They have different shapes and sizes, but I found this to work the best.
We don't have Meijer's here but I would bet that Target has something. Still haven't made it to Walmart yet...I've been procrastinating

Wow, thanks! You made my day!
Well I found the "flower rack" at Meijers -- in the housewares (where you get stuff for cabinets). It's called the "long wire stacking shelf" (I got the long one -- they had a medium and a smaller size as well.) It cost about $5. Thanks for the great idea!
