I suppose it could be painted, but then what kind of paint do you think they used? Paste food colors would be hard to get that precise colors on. Or I guess it could have been rolled out that way? That seems hard as well. Any clues?

There was a thread about this very subject not too long ago. The wraps are made of chocolate. I think the general concensus on how they were done was by putting strips of chocolate clay (plastic) together and rolling through a pasta machine.
I can't find the original thread ...
Those are Chocolate Wraps. Shirley has a how to post on these.
They are either piped or they use chocolate transfer sheets to get the colors on there.
These are made of chocolate i believe, they are called chocolate wraps. There's a few posts here on CC about how to do them.
look at this section on their site:

This pastry comb can be used to achieve this look w/chocolate.

I've never done this myself, so I'm only guessing, but the descriptions say it's actually colored white chocolate (the first one) and a mix of white chocolate and milk chocolate (the second one) instead of fondant. I would guess that they poured the modeling chocolate in such a way as to create the stripes then let it set so they could wrap the cake in it. With fondant, I have heard of doing stripes by rolling different colors together, but again I have never done it and wouldn't know where to begin in order to get the lines as straight as they appear in those pictures.

thanks, I would never have found those links, I was looking for something made of fondant, not chocolate!

I agree that the page 1 cake (the second link) was made with chocolate wraps, but if you look closely at the zoomed-in picture of the page 12 yellow/blue cake then you will see that one of the yellow stripes looks as though it has been glued on (the zoomed in picture with the balls on top). I would think that it might have colored wafer paper glued on.
If you scroll down to the middle of this page then you will see a picture of the colored wafer (rice) paper:

edited to say: Ok, you will have to copy and paste the entire link that I forementioned into your web browser--the sugarcraft link shown above will take you to the BBB site (an issue that was discussed in another forum)
