50 White Floral Wires, 20 Gauge
The supporting wire for large, heavy flowers.
20 gauge is the second-thickest wire in the Azucren white range, just after 18 gauge. It is designed to support large or heavy sugar flowers: XXL peonies, dahlias, open roses with many petals.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
20 or 18 gauge: what's the difference?
18 gauge is even thicker and reserved for the heaviest arrangements and sugar-paste work. 20 gauge is still very rigid but is better suited to the main stems of classic large flowers such as peonies or dahlias.
Can two 20-gauge wires be twisted together?
Yes, this is the recommended technique for a reinforced central stem, for example for an XXL peony. Twist two wires together before assembling the flower's center, then add the rows of petals using thinner gauges.
Is this wire edible or can it touch the cake?
No, it isn't edible. Always isolate the base of the stem in a food-safe straw or a dedicated support before inserting it into a tiered cake, and remove the arrangement before cutting.
