Does anyone have a good idea for applying satin ribbon to the bottom edge of my wedding cake?

I have been pressing it to my buttercream frosting and the oil seeps through.....Any thoughts!

You could try ironing wax paper to the back, or if it doesn't work, maybe double stick tape...but I read that you could attach ribbon to wax paper by ironing it and it will keep from seeping thru....or if you don't have to use satin, other ribbons don't seep thru...I used kind of heavy duty ribbon on two different wedding cakes and the brides loved them.
Hope I helped, good luck

i just back my ribbon with wax paper, you can't tell and the grease from the bc doesn't soak through and discolor it.

HTH!

I appreciate the insight....I didn't think of wax paper!

i've also had luck just putting a dot of piping gel on the end and attaching it, then gingerly wrapping the ribbon around without pressing it in to the icing, then attach the loose end to the first end with another dot of piping gel.
