advice on bending this10mm rod

and can i ask what is the best material to fix my 3d cake on some say foam board what does cakeflix say?

Hi David Williams

Take a look at the armoured horse tutorial:

Armoured Horse

This tutorial advises on the type of material that would be best and also shows how to bend rods.

There are other tutorials on using rods, however, it would take me a little time to find. I hope the above is helpful.
Check back to your question as I will try to find other tutorials that may be useful too. 🙂

Edit: I’ve looked at many of the tutorials that use rods and can’t find another for supporting actual cake. There are many armatures for making toppers. The armoured horse is possibly the best example that fits your question.
Scroll through the tutorials for structured cakes, you might be able to spot something I’ve missed.
