I'm doing this cake for a client:

Except she wants silvery-grey ribbon with an eggplant (dark purple) color of buttercream scrollwork.
Do you guys think I'll have a problem with the dark color soaking into the ribbon? Any ideas?
Hello Kitagirl,
If you use the waterproof ribbon it shouldn't be a problem. You can find them in most craft stores. It is resistant to buttercream soaking and changing the color. HTH
Hmm I've never heard of that! I already bought my ribbon at Joann's today....I didn't see any waterproof kind...hmm.
I do have a can of this spray stuff that puts a gloss on sugar and chocolate....I was wondering if I sprayed some into a cup and then painted it on the ribbon where I plan to pipe, if it would help protect the ribbon?
I guess all I can do is do a sample before I put it on the actual cake....
