Hi there, I am wondering how thick the wires would need to be to hold something like a malteser up..I have quite thin ones and they seem to bend a little too easily...this obviously spoils the look of the whole cake..not really used them much before..thank you

i can’t keep the sizes of wires straight unless i’m looking at the packages —  my only thought is that you could use two of the ones you already have 

maltesers are malted milk balls — if anyone else needs to know — I had to look it up —

Thanks, -K8memphis!  I was thinking, "what are maltesers"?  Thought maybe it was a puppy???

You could use a 14 gauge wire, but rather than buy more wire, I would do as -K8 suggested, use floral tape to put three pieces of wire together.
