re: Royal Icing collars and flooding work

Thankyou for adding this, you make the directions very clear and easy to follow so I am going to give this a go! I want to try some floodwork on wires (like I am guessing you have done in your pictures above). How do you integrate the wire? What gauge wire do you recommend for shapes the size of your stars (I will be making seagulls) and do you use the coated wire or plain type? Or do you think it will just be easier to roll out fondant instead? Thanks for the tutorial and I look forward to your advice!
