In the UK, we call them a 'posy pick'.

They are called flower spikes or picks. I make my own by cutting straws and melting the ends of one side together. Use a bubble tea straw for the really big stems. HTH icon_biggrin.gif

I would think so. How do you think they got the plastic into a straw shape in the first place?? I assume they melted the plastic and poured it into some sort of mold. I would just be careful not to breathe any of the fumes.

I've also read that people will stuff some fondant in the hole of the straw to seal it off, and some will pipe candy melts into the bottom.
