Hi all, I was wondering if someone who has done this before can give me some hints and ideas? I am making a simple wedding cake with BC frosting next weekend that will have ribbon on the bottom borders. Is there a good way to do this? I will be assembling the cake on site so I can put the ribbons on now. Thanks in advance for any help. 
I have only done this once. I read in the wilton tierd cake book that you just wrap ribbon around and tape in the back. I tried it and didn't like the way it looked. Even though it was in the back and used invisable tape. So I added a dab of royal and that seemed to work. The ribbon held!
Hi all! I have put ribbon on several cakes and never used waxed paper and never had any problems. I also cut the ribbon short enough that the ends meet on the back with out overlapping and have never had to use tape. I do wait till after the ribbon is on the cake before adding the border so I know this helps hold the ribbon in place.
I only use BC and wait for it to just start crusting. If you wait to long it will not stay in place as good. Hope this helps.
Thanks everyone. It's a week before the wedding and I am still waiting for the bride to bring me the ribbon she is using in the wedding. She is going to supply it because it's the one she is using for everything. I am nervous but excited too! Thanks again!
