Wired decorations are a great way to make a cake or cupcakes stand out from the crowd. The best ingredient to do this with is petal paste or sugar paste, fondant is okay but you must serve it once it has hardened otherwise it goes sticky and slides down the wire!
My favourite shapes to use when making wired decorations are stars, flowers and hearts, as they are simple shapes that can have decoration easily iced on and make a really stunning impression.
When using wire shapes on cupcakes, make sure you use a dainty and small cutter, otherwise you drag away the attention of you beautiful cupcakes to the giant blob stood in the top!
When you use wired decorations on a larger cake, experiment with the length of the wire, created a more interesting visual effect with the different heights.
Coloured wire is also a really good thing to include in a sugar flower arrangement, it can be curved slightly or wrapped round a pen to create a spiral, this can then be added into your arrangement.
Happy Wiring!
