I am very new to making figures so this might seem like an easy thing to know... but what can I use for support in the gum paste figures. I have seen on the cake shows on TV that they can use skewer like sticks (depending on the size of the figure). But I need it to go in two different directions (almost like a Y) so I can't figure out what I can use to wrap it around and stay there. Hmmm.... I saw on cake boss that they used some bendable wire like material. Does anyone know where to buy that?

Like Leah's said floral wire (it's what's used for gp flowers etc).
