Any ideas on what to use to make the supports for this pram? I thought of using RKT for the carriage and supporting with floral wire, but I'm afraid the wire won't be strong enough? Any other ideas? (see pic below) (image is from pink cake box -love her stuff.
Thanks in advance-michele
Definitely a wire armature for the buggy frame--maybe already covered in white sheathing when purchased.
Rest of the buggy could be just pastillage or gum paste--it's be very light.

I always thought the buggy was made from gumpaste since it's a decoration on a cake. Like BlakesCakes said it's very light so it wouldn't require alot of support.
I was thinking RKT because it's lighter than gumpaste, though it's going on top of an 8" cake so it's not going to be very big. Thanks for the hanger tip. I just need to find one in white, but then it might crack. Maybe I'll dip the shaped wire in royal icing?
In the chain, wire, rope isle of a hardware store, you will find plastic coated wire. (Oh - might be in with the electrical) Anyway, they have three or four colors, and white is one of the colors. I think it will be more than sturdy enough to support a gum paste carriage.
wire clothes hangers should be strong enough (and will keep Joan Crawford happy that they're not being used for clothes!)
Last place I thought I'd see a Mommy Dearest reference.
Job well done!
