What kind of ribbon do I use on buttercream frosting. The bride wants black but I'm afraid the grease will come through. Please help
you could do a fondant ribbon. Or I know some people attach some wax paper to the backside of the ribbon (I tried once and it wasnt that easy) or I have read where some people actually pre grease the ribbon with like a cooking spray I guess. That way it is at least evenly greased ! I havent tried it.
Line the back of the ribbon with contact paper, that way it sticks nice and flat on the sticky side of the paper, of course, then trim the excess away. Your ribbon will be perfectly flat and smooth, and will peel right off when it's time to serve.
I iron wax paper to the back of my ribbon. I actually just got a hair straightening iron today to help with the process. Works great-- no bleed through, no grease on the ribbon, and easy.
tried the flat iron and wax paper - it was GREAT. It also worked to make ribbon curls. Did and 8 inch cake ribbon bottom border, ribbon loop bow with the curls comming off of it. I did the cake so fast and it looked great. It sold as soon as I put it out! My manager gave my kudos for the first time! jillmakescakes - thank you! He is a hard man to please. I so want to work with pretty cakes but this gets the bills paid!
thanks for posting this question, I was just wondering the same thing.
How do you all attach the ribbon in the back?
I try to get the length exactly right so it meets up end to end. If not, a sliver of double stick tape will hold them together. I know some people overlap, and slice them so that they are exactly meeting end to end, but I've never tried it. I think it's like doing wallpaper.
