I've heard that it is harder with the wire. I've always used plain.

Be careful of what kind of ribbon you choose. Some will absorb oil from buttercream. Rolled fondant is safe.

I use either satin or grograin ribbon (w/out wire) on buttercream all the time. The trick is to wet the ribbon before you put it on, so not only does it stick well, buu it doesn't absorb moisture from the cake and get splotchy.

Wow I've never heard this before. Does it dry to it's original color?

I have never had any problem with the color of the ribbon, However stay away from sheer ribbon, it just doesn't look as nice.
