Newbie here Im taking the course 1 Wiltons class and Love it.
Being new I havent attempted Fondant and all that cool stuff yet.
Have a question can candy melts be molded and hung from wire or something to decorate on cake if so what would be good to use ? 
You could mold the candy melts and then use some more melted candy to attach the molded pieces to a wire, but be careful about using wire in cake. What I do is, I take a drinking straw, insert it into the cake, fill it with icing and then put the wire into that so that the wire never touches the cake.
Since you have candy melts, you could try making candy clay (recipe in the back of Wilton yearbooks) and you can make beads, etc to string on the wires or pieces of dry spaghetti. It tastes really good and is like playing with playdough.

Thank you so much for your advice. I have looked at other pictures on here and saw what I thought was wire but wasnt sure good point about it touching or worse if it got lost in cake.
Oh and isnt that something or name? mine is Deana sounds like Dean with an a but was always called Deanna.
Thanks again for your help....
I think the molded candy might be a bit too heavy. You may want to try fondant.

I have been using this tech. for ages!! lol , I make sure to use the box of sanitary straws too, the kind that come individually wrapped too! I cut them slightly longer than the cake...fill them with icing also, add a little teeny "mound" to hide the straw and insert the wired item.
The little mound of icing also helps secure the sugar item.
When I use them to insert the "flying" items..( you know the wires that spray out from the top of the cake..lol) I will use a teeny cirlce of cardboard, cover it with fondant, flip it over on top of the "peeking" straws and mark their location, then I take an awl (?) and poke holes through the fondant and cardboard..
Then I place the "holey" cardboard on top of the cake and poke the wires through.
I hope you understood my rambly post..lol
Im a newbie taking course 1 now and scared of trying fondant yet. Ive also heard its really nasty tasting????
Thank you for the all the advice.
Hi,
nah, you're just covering a small teeny board that will be removed when you cut the cake, and that's only for when you decide to put wired flying things coming from the cake..lol
and you can always kneed a little flavoring into it.
KHalstead, there is concern about chemical reactions etc with certain types of wire in cakes. Personally, I'm not worried about that, but there have been big arguements over that point, so I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Plus, small wired items can be accidentally eaten (and there have been lawsuits over that) so yet another reason to be safer rather than sorry.
Crafty01, Wilton fondant does taste bad right out of the box, but other brands or home made fondants taste much better. The candy clay I suggested will taste better still and requires fewer ingredients. 
My name is constantly pronounced like yours, Deana, but it's three syllables, like Dee Anna.
