Just wondering if the shortening will absorb on the ribbon? If so
how do you pervent it from happening.

It will if you use a fabric ribbon. You could use a fondant ribbon instead. Or put clear contact paper on the back side. I read of one person greasing the whole ribbon beforehand. That will change the color slightly, but it will be even rather than splotchy.

What is fondant ribbon? Can it be bought or do you just make it out of fondant. My customer wants ribbon on the cake in the middle of the cake with a bow tied. I just don't want the ribbon to soak up the shortening and look greasy. It is a wedding cake.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
