tutorial how to do fondant ribbon on side of the cake
Take a piece of real ribbon that is the width of the gap you want between your first and second strips. I used a piece that was 3/8 wide. Pin one end of the ribbon to the back of the cake, above the seam of your fondant strip. Wind the ribbon all the way around your cake, resting it on top of the fondant strip.f you want to add stripes to the to of the top of the cake, repeat the steps above but use the top of the cake as a guide for your first strip. It is safer to gently coil your strip up and rest it on top of the tier as you unwind it to glue it into place.
