Can anybody tell me what is used on this cake?
What are the blue and white plumes at the back with the stars made of ?
Can anybody help. Thanks.
Maybe you can see them better in this picture

They are onion grass picks

You can curl the ends in the same way as you do with curling ribbon - ie run it over the end of scissors/knife
I think I have seen them at the dollar store. I think it is use to weight down the balloons.
Good luck!
Ciao!
To me they look like bear grass, wider than onion grass. See this thread:

Thank you to everyone for your replies. I have tried googling the onion grass but am having no luck as I live in England :(
I will keep trying though, somewhere must sell it.
Thanks again everyone :)
Thanks Sooziecake and Applegumpam for your help. I have just got home from work so havn't had a chance to search yet.
I went to my local dressmaking and hobby shop on the way home and found some leaves that look very similar to what I wanted so I am going to
see if they are what I need otherwise I will try emailing the cake shop and will look on the web tonight.
Do you think I should put them inside straws and treat them the same as if I were placing wires in my cake?
Sorry to be a pain but I am still learning even now :)
These seem a good price. My local cake shopsupplies them so if you have one near tey them too. You should put them in either a straw or posy pick, not directly in a cake. Just push a little sugar or flowerpaste in first to keep them upright and packed.

I have just looked at these and it is exactly what I wanted, I'm going to order them now.
Thank you so much :))))
