Those Wires With Stars, Etc. As Cake Toppers

I used floral wire when I put the stars on one of my cakes. I dipped the ends in chocolate and let it harden before I put it into the cake. It didn't rip at all. My stars weren't very heavy though. Geez, I wasn't very helpful....lol. I hope someone else has a better answer for you (=
I have used my own curved wires as well as purchasing the pre cut wires, sorry, don't remember the guage on the wire I made, I just used what I had on hand for crafts 
As far as the support : I put a straw in the top tier and I insert a bit of fondant rolled to a "snake" and then I put my wires in the straw. With the fondant in the straw so they don't move around and don't fall from their weight. The top of the straw is covered with decorations. Hope this helps !
Like hodges, I put my wires in a straw, but I fill the straw with melted chocolate or candy melts and stick the wires in that. When the chocolate cools, the wires are very stable.
you can find those wires at Michaels... i use them all the time and they just add a little cuteness/classy look to the cakes.. I usually put a little necklace pendant ( cakes for females) on one of them and my customers absolutely appreciate and love the little extra touch on the cakes!
