How Do I Get Fondant Rope To Stay On The Sides Of My Cake?

AHi all! I plan on making a nautical themed cake next weekend. I'd like the bottom tier to look like ropes. I plan to Twist two strands of fondant together to achieve this look. My question is will the buttercream frosting be strong enough to hold up 3 or 4 ropes wrapped going up the cake. Horizontally. I hope I discribed that well enough. Thanks so much.
I just did this nautical cake and I used the tylose/boiling water recipe for my edible glue and it works like a champ. Those ropes (and whales and anchors and stripes) didn't budge. I use it for almost everything.
Melted chocolate also works well for holding heavy fondant pieces onto buttercream cakes.
