I want to make a simple round cake with buttercream and wrap a piece of ribbon around the base finished off with a bow. Is there a certain type of ribbon I should or shouldn't use?I have some sheer organza ribbon and satin ribbon. Will the color bleed on the white buttercream? or do I put a strip of parchment behind it first.....
TIA
Hello,
I don't know about the color bleeding but the ribbon would soak up the grease from the bc and look bad so just put parchment or waxed paper behind it first! I am going to be using a satin ribbon on a bc cake this weekend and was just planning on cutting some wax paper strips to put under it.
HTH,
Heather
I've never had a problem with grease soaking into ribbon & I've never used anything between the ribbon & the BC
You can use any type of ribbon you want. An invaluable hint I just learned of: Iron the back of your ribbon with a piece of waxed paper on top of it and grease WILL NOT soak through!!!!

hmmm- makes sense - good tip - It's kind of like when I was in elementary school and we collected leaves and then ironed them between two sheets of wax paper in a collage - good idea!
