Making Stars On Wire...how Thick Should Wire Be?
Decorating By Irishbliss Updated 14 May 2009 , 3:30pm by lomikesa
Hi,
I bought some wire ages ago but it seems too thin to hold up the fondant stars I made, what gauge of wire do you use?
most people here use anything between 16 and 24 guage, but it depends on the look (stright wire, or bending over) and how heavy the object is.
(edit to fix guage)

I bought 30 gauge....does that mean I got the wrong ones and should buy some with a lower gauge?
sorry calynmom, i meant 24 guage! im in teh uk, so it either has to be a specialist cake store for some numbers, or online so i can get any number.
Irishbliss, 30 probably is too fine, unless you have a very light object and want it leaning over. experiment and see? its a good number for gumpast flowers and leaves tho!
