How to Add Ribbon to a Cake

Step 1
Choose a double-sided satin ribbon that complements the colors of the wedding. Most floral shops should carry this, or you can check your local craft store. If you have chosen ribbon that is not double-sided, see the Tips section.
·  Step 2
Iron the ribbon to make sure that it will lay flat on the cake. Make sure that the ribbon is completely free of wrinkles.
·  Step 3
Wrap the base of the cake with the ribbon, with the backed side facing the cake. Do this a few inches at a time, smoothing it down as you go.
·  Step 4
Use a small dab of butter cream icing at the seam as glue to hold the ribbon in place.
Things You’ll Need:
·                       Double-sided satin ribbon
·                       Wax paper
·                       Double-sided tape
·                       Iron
·                       Butter cream icing
Tips & Warnings
If you have chosen a ribbon that is not double-sided, first attach wax paper to the back of the ribbon by adhering double-sided tape to the ribbon. Trim the wax paper so that it doesn’t show from the front. This backing will keep the ribbon from looking greasy.
