Making my own wire topper

I decided to have a go at making my own wire cake topper with floristry wire and foam letters/stars


What I needed:


1 Pack florist wire
1 Food grade posy pick
pack of foam letters/stars
small amount of fondant/sugarpaste


Measure your length of wire to the desired height you would like for your topper and cut with wire cutters or strong scissors. Then decide how many letters/numbers/shapes you need/want.


I started out by threading the foam letters onto the wire, but this made it look a bit messy and I was in danger of putting little holes in the letters, an idea came to me like an epiphany lol and I realised the foam letters where actually stickers so I just peeled off the backing slightly, stuck the wire to the adhesive strip and re-attached the backing - looked lots better and held in place perfectly.

Threading the foam through the wire

The tricky part was getting them all aligned and into the posy pick which I filled with a bit of fondant without the letters getting jumbled up.

The finished product, not bad for a first attempt at a wire topper I didn't think :-)
