I have a Minion cake in mind and I want to have his arms extended. What kind of wire would I use for his arms ?
Could I use an unused wire coat hanger ?
If not, what wire could I use and where would I get it from ?

You should only put items that are food safe in cakes etc, I suspect that coat hangers wouldn't be.

Google 'cake wire' and there are a number of online retailers as well as other sites that suggest alternatives e.g. straws.

I understand what you are saying about food safe items.
I don't think straws would be strong enough, and I need to bend the wire to a specific shape - I think I should have mentioned that in the OP !

If your only after a small amount you might be able to buy some from a local cake shop.

You could always slide the coathanger wire inside some straws, and get the best of both.
