I think they are a Duff product and you can get them at Michael's. I remember them being pretty expensive.

thanks for reply, im in uk. shame tho they are really nice, do you know what they are made from?
They are just wire. I would assume a food safe metal though I am not sure. You could make your own with some practice. I would use a thin straw in the cake to keep the metal from touching the cake.

you can order them online probably...try these
They look like ribbon to me, although I have no idea how they got them to stand up straight and then do the gentle curve at the end. Have you sent a PM to the maker and asked her/him?

They are wire. Duff has his name on them. You can get them at Michael's, and other cake and craft stores.
I am sure that you can buy something similar to these from a garden centre (where they sell products for flower arranging) or from hobbycraft stores, they might only be in green but you could spray them. HTH

I looked at everything "Duff" on Michael's web site and there is nothing there that looks to me like flat narrow satin ribbon. The wires are the ones the snowflakes are hanging from in the OP's post, but the way I read her post, she was asking about the other things. Since my Michael's is over 20 miles away, I can't just pop in for a look, so I'll just assume that you're right. I must have misunderstood the original post.

I wasn't seeing flat, I was seeing wire, but I looked at the other pics on there and the thingies did look flat! I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea and I am sorry Now I am thinking it may be floral thingies that I have seen in Michael's...
You could contact her, and ask her. In the flicker post it shows she is from your area. She might be in a city close to you.
Good luck

Looks like ribbon but have no idea how she would get the ribbon to do that. I love the effect. i have the duff wire and that's not it.
If you'd rather not PM her, you can contact her from her web site:

Whatever those things are, she uses them on lots of her cakes and giant cupcakes:

thanks for all you replies, i have emailed her to see if she will tell me, will report back if she replies
I have seen these before. They are made of a very thin wood, come in lots of colours and we can get them at the dollar store here.
I found a link so you can take a look........

I usually put a small cocktail straw into the cake before adding any wire/flowers etc, just to make sure they do not touch the cake.
It looks like a thick flat wire that we used in my daughters wedding arrangements, we got it from Joann's fabrics in the floral dept., several local florists also have this wire. Hope that helps
It looks like the ribbons that they make for curly hair bows. You cut the ribbon, wrap on a dowel, spray starch and bake in oven. Take them out of oven and unwind them. Of course for this look, you would not wind them up tight on a dowel. She probably put a few inside of a straw and inserted then in the cake. This is all guesswork on my part.
Here is a link to the bows to explain how it is done.
it is bear grass and to curl it you run your knife or sissors down it like you do curling ribbon, the wood sticks that some one else mentioned is called curly ting ting, i work in a floral shop and we get both in, so check with your local florist, but michaels or hobby lobby should also sell both, you need to go to the artifical floral dept.
hi all, she replied to my message with a link on her website with a how to video which cost £5. she said they are grasses, and can by them from hobby craft in the uk.

Hi i'm from the UK and will second Lisa and the others - it's a bear grass. I've used it in the original green but they do lots of other colours. I recently used silver and put it in a pick with the wires
