I have noticed ribbon wrapped around the bottom edge of a cake. Some ribbons are made of fondant but others look like they are made of regular ribbon material. How do you know what kind is safe to use against the cake? How do you know it will not bleed or become stained from the buttercreme icing?

If you want, you can put wax paper or something behind it. Just dab some icing here & there and it will stay in place.

I did this once with satin ribbon on a chocolate BC iced cake (photo in gallery). I had to put a scotch tape backing on it to keep the BC from seeping through.

I think on fondant, ribbons don't need to have any kind of backing, I could be wrong though.

I have done the wax paper backing and never had a problem. I think it is the best way to go because you are covered on all bases!

I put a satin ribbon on my cake yesterday over fondant. I just peeked at it and it looks fine. No staining or anything. I love MMF!!!! sunflowerfreak
