AIt looks to me like fondant rope that's been wound around itself. Not totally sure though, but that's what I'd do!

yeah it sure does look like that.  and what a cake it is, although it's from 2009 I sure hope this decorator is out there making more gorgeous cakes.

yup, looks like coiled fondant

AThanks everyone better get started then!
