Hi everyone, Thanks eve
Ryone for all the inspiration- Amazing work on here. I am looking for a way to make the ropes for a wresting ring cake. Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated. I have a tendency to over think a problem and make it harder so thought I would ask first. Thanks again. Tina

I am not a proffessional baker but I love baking and I also love to play with my cakes So here are my two idea's...

1) you could take speghetti and wrap very fine fondant around it to look like rope perhaps? But I have been told that the speghetti will get soggy if left too long.

2) you could maybe use liquorice rope or fuit rollups? Again I am not sure what would work for you.

There is a candy called Twizzlers that is already braided like rope. I think it might only come in red though.

I have made several, and i use red pipe cleaners. Saw that on others cakes. It worked really well.

I've made a wrestling ring cake and it is in my gallery. If I remember right I went to michael's and bought a very thin wooden dowel in the wood craft section. When I got home I painted it with red food coloring or, I think I just put some of the food coloring on seran wrap then wrapped that around the dowel and moved it up and down vs painting with a brush. After that take a clean dish towel you don't mind staining and wipe off the excess.

I've made several of these and used spaghetti for the wires.  I painted them black and let them dry, insert the ends into fondant/gumpaste and have never had a problem.
