I made some yesterday for a wine bottle cake, using some hints in the Confetti Cake book (the one with the purse on front). I took a 50/50 ivory-ish/brown-ish colored gumpaste and fondant mixture and ran it through the pasta machine on a 5. I took a ribbon cutter with the 1/4 inch spacers and cut some pieces. I cut them into 3-4 inch lengths and "wrinkled and rumpled them". I laid them around the bottle and came back over it with some golden brown luster dust. HTH!
maybe its something along the lines of spun sugar you are looking for?

I saw an episode of Challenge, it was the one that they did the Dr.Seuss Cakes...
One of the decorators on the Challenge made a poof to put on the top of Horton's nose...he dipped a board with nails into the sugar/isomalt and slung it back and forth over a wooden dowel...it looked like cotton candy but thicker strings....maybe you can find the episode on Food Network or Youtube....good luck!
just wanted to add that Dollar General has "edible easter grass" and they have yellow and it loooks exactly like hay/straw. I got 5 bags in case I need it for a cake one day (they're $1 each).
Otherwise, what about using those "potato sticks" chip things.....those look like hay and they're edible lol
