My first wedding cake the bride wants buttercream icing with a ribbon at the bottom of each tier. Two Questions...
Will the ribbon color leak onto the buttercream icing? If so, is there a way to keep this from happening?
How do I attach the ribbon to the icing?
Any additional advice?

Depending on the type and color of ribbon, the grease from the buttercream may leak through the ribbon and/or the color from the ribbon may bleed onto the buttercream. To prevent this from happening, try cutting wax paper the same width as the ribbon, and then hot glue or attach it with royal icing to the ribbon. Then, attach the wax paper-backed ribbon to the cake with buttercream or royal icing. Hope this helps!
