This guide is for floral designers and cake decorators looking to add structure and visual flair to their creations. The key benefit is the metallic blue color and 24-gauge thickness, which provides support and a bold aesthetic for bouquets and edible crafts. A caveat is that while safe for use with edible items, direct insertion into cakes is not recommended without protective measures. This product offers durable florist wires in a vibrant metallic blue, ideal for both floral arrangements and working with sugarcraft materials.

While the materials are safe to use alongside edible items, we do not recommend inserting the wires directly into your cake. It is best to use them with posy picks or Safety Seal for a safe food application.
In wire terminology, a higher gauge number indicates a thinner wire. Therefore, 24 gauge is a mid-range thickness, offering a balance of strength and flexibility.
Yes, these florist wires are designed to be bendable and can be shaped to support delicate structures or create custom forms for your floral or cake designs.
Each pack contains 50 x 24 gauge metallic blue florist wires.
Absolutely. They are ideal for general floral crafting, scrapbooking, and other decorative projects where a touch of metallic color and structure is desired.
Store the florist wires in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture to maintain their condition and prevent any potential damage to the metallic coating.
Remember that a higher gauge number means a thinner wire. If 24 gauge is not suitable, consider alternative gauges for different project needs.
Ensure wires are not in direct, prolonged contact with very soft icing. Use posy picks or Safety Seal to create a barrier between the wire and the edible surface.
For more demanding structural support, consider a lower gauge (thicker) wire. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended use for the 24-gauge wire.
Setup: These wires require no setup; they are ready to be used directly from the pack.
Compatibility: Compatible with florist paste, modelling paste, and fondant sugarpaste. Safe for use alongside edible items, but direct insertion into cakes should be avoided. When using with edible creations, consider pairing with food-safe accessories like posy picks or Safety Seal.
Care: Store in a dry place away from moisture to prevent any degradation of the wire or coating. Handle with care to maintain their shape and color. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive materials.
