I have seen so many beautiful cakes with decorations that seem to be suspended or popping out of the cake with wire. Can someone tell me what kind of wire is used? What gauge or strength? Thank you so much!!!

Hi averie, welcome to CC! I'm going to provide you the link to an older post that contains a lot of information regarding wire in cakes. It's quite a bit of reading but will fill you in on pretty much everything you need to know about suspending stars, hearts, etc. on cakes. HTH!
