Cake-stuff.com recommend a range of professional quality wires, sometimes referred at as Japanese "A" grade.
The higher the gauge, the finer the wire . . . 18 being the thickest/heaviest and 32 the finest. Each wire approx long 14" (36cm). The number of wires per pack varies with gauge . . . gauges 18-22 have approx 20 wires per pack, gauges 24 and above have approx 50 wires per pack.
Paper and cotton covered stainless steel wires will not rust although we must point out that if you decide to stick the wires directly into a rich fruit cake (which, of course, you shouldn't!), there may be a reaction which causes the wire to corrode. Play safe - never stick wires directly into the cake.
Please note packs of wire are often folded for ease of posting. If you specifically require them packed flat please note this in the message box at checkout.
We won't take any chances with hygiene and food safety, so please note all our wires are EU approved for use on or with edible items. We feel it's false economy trying to save a few pennies on items (which are inexpensive to begin with) if it could ruin a cake - or your reputation!
