I have a stacked wedding cake to do w/ ribbon around each layer. How do you keep the buttercream from seeping through the ribbon? Thanks&God bless,donna
Hi,
Some people iron on wax paper to the back of the ribbon. I tried that but it didnt work for me. Other's have lined the back with tape. Me, I surrendered to the grease. I oiled the ribbon before putting it on the cake - no more splotches. It did make my ribbon a bit darker but I would rather have that then blotchyness. This was a tip I read in one of the forums. HTH
I have used ribbon on several cakes. I use icing that crusts and have never had a problem.
I have heard of putting clear contact paper on the ribbon. I was doing this on a cake last month, but had to cancel due to tropical storm Fay. It was very simple and can be found at wal mart in the kitchen section.
Hope this helps.
