I am planning on making a dora the explorer cake this weekend, and I would like to make some balloons that look like they are in the air if that makes sense. Is there any kind of wire that i could attatch to some color flow balloons that I could also put right into the frosting? The wire of course would not have to be that thick since I dont think the balloons will weigh that much .. any help is appreciated!

Most of the floral wires will work. Choose clean wire and wrap it with floral tape or masking tape.

I have a Dora cake with balloons in my photos. I attached gumpaste to floral wire for the balloons. With this particular cake, I used a flower spike, placed gumpaste in it, then pushed itinto the cake and put the wires in the gumpaste. Then the spike was covered up with icing. Nomally I just wrap the wire in gling wrap. SOme people will dip the wire in royal icing first and let it dry.
