Guide To Make Wooden Picks To Design A Diabetic Cake

A guide to make wooden picks to design a diabetic cake for party or wedding.

For the wooden picks on which sugar flowers are piped, trim one pointed end off a wooden cocktail stick with a sharp knife, leaving the stick about 2 inches long. The blunt end passes through a hole in the pick board and rests on the table top.

Children’s games sometimes include a pick board for scoring, but if you have to make one, by far the easiest method is to cut a piece of pegboard about 8 x 12 inches, and nail two 1-inch wooden battens down the short sides.

You will also find it useful to have a piece of thick cardboard about 6 by 8 inches, with a 2-inch slit, about 1-inch wide, cut in one of the long sides.
