I'm not sure how the 'ribbon/jewel' part of this cake is done.  Can anyone tell?  Has anyone done anything similar?  How would you do this?  Thanks for any help.  

Sorry, trying to get the pic to post but it's not working.

Upload the picture into cc gallery and post the link or post a link to the website where you saw the cake.

There is an online class through craftsy.com called "Jeweled Wedding Cake" by Marina Sousa that teaches that technique for an affordable price. 

Here is a direct link to the class:
