I'd not seen this done so I thought I'd give it a go. I wanted a very stylish sort of cake for my son's bride to be's shower. This is a chocolate cake with cream cheese filling and Fondex fondant covering both tiers with the top one slightly off set. The ribbons were made into flowers with ribbon covered buttons and a little blingy circle of rhinestones around it. Like I said, I've not seen ribbon flowers before. If anyone has, I'd love to see how they did theirs! Here's a pic.

I like them. Very stylish

Very chic!

They look very couture. Love it!

I love the creativity!! I am not familiar with this technique. I know this sounds dumb but what did you use to make these flowers? - actaul ribbon? and how did you do this?

They are made with satin ribbon. There are several ways to make them. Look online for vintage ribbon flowers. The centers were just regular buttons I covered with the black ribbon.

Thank you so much!

Was it time consuiming to make those?

No, not at all. They go very fast and are quite easy to do. There are many other more complex vintage flowers that I'm going to do next.

I've also done a similar effect on my black ball of flowers but from fondant. Yours are super adorable!

I can't find any instructions on these. Do you have a link you could post?

i LOVE that look!

This is the book I used.
