I am doing my first wedding cake and I need help! The bride wants plain white buttercream and black ribbon around the bottom of each tier. I tried convincing her to do fondant, but she doesn't want it. How would I do the ribbon on the bottom of the buttercream? Won't it get oily/greasy looking? Any ideas are very appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Yes..It will get greasy from the butter /shortening in the icing.Some on here..CC have used waxed paper behind the ribbon and a few other techniques but I'm not sure how great that would work..At least the color is black so it can't get any darker than black!!
I have done ribbon and I have one in my pictures (square with black ribbon) and the yellow & pink. I did nothing to the ribbons and they were fine. But I frosted them one day let them crust well and the next day put ribbon on. I haven't had any grease problems. Others say they have.
