Okay, I do not see my post and something went wrong when I tried to create it.  Lets try again:

I think it is the pics I tried to add, so here I go again.  I linked the images below.  Third times the charm, hopefully!

The bride likes the looks of cake #1, but wants the frosting to look like cake #2.  She sent me the rope and some burlap ribbon, since she liked the ribbon idea for around the cake as well.  I also received some fake flowers made from music paper for the cake topper.  The cake will be 3 tiers with the bottom two being fake.  I can put the ribbon or the rope on the bottom two, but I will not put burlap on the edible top tier.  Is there a way to make hemp rope food safe?  Also would it look weird to just do the ribbon on the bottom 2 tiers and not the top?  What are your thoughts.  Thank you!

I'm not sure if it is my phone or your link, but I see the same cake picture in both links... Anyway, talking of ribbons, I'm to much ocd to not use it on all three tiers. I love symmetry etc. Don't know how to make burlap food safe either. Guess you wash it in Dettol or something like that?
