Help: Fondant Ribbon
Decorating By creativecreationsbykamica Updated 4 May 2011 , 11:39pm by creativecreationsbykamica
How do I wrap Fondant Ribbon around a 24" Square & "20 Square cake???
I am rolling it out but it starts tearing and I can get it long enough for one solid piece & it looks tacky w/ 2 pieces!!
So if anyone can help please do!! This is for a wedding on Saturday May 7th!!
It might help to roll it out on shortening instead of cornstarch/powdered sugar.
Hello, once you cut your fondant roll it up like a tape measure. It actually helps it from drying out and makes it really easy to literally roll back onto the cake. You still have to work somewhat fast, but this makes things really easy. I normally don't pimp Wilton products because I hate that company, but Wilton makes a fondant ribbon cutter that I use ALL the time. That thing is handy! I can ribbon a 12" cake in less then 10 minutes, and that includes trimming with a tracing wheel to get that cool ribbon stitching effect, dusting with luster dust, and getting it on the cake.
Good luck,
Jen

I wouldn't do this - the shortening makes the fondant sticky, so when you are dealing with strips of fondant it'll stick on itself like a piece of scotch tape. Big mess.

I'm gonna try & see! I usually don't have to use cornstarch/powdered sugar but today I have had too! Maybe it's a change in the atmosphere!! I'm gonna try the shortening way!!
But I am still open to other ideas CC
Here is the link to the cake I am making!

The bride said NO flowers!! And she didn't want the rhinestones on the square tiers she wants turq fondant ribbon to look like the round tiers!! I am feeling alittle overwhelmed at the moment so I'm not going to do anything else until the morning! I'll just bake cakes & make buttercream!
