📌 Techniques for placing ribbons on cakes
There are several ways to incorporate ribbons into a cake. Here are some ideas:
🎀 Ribbon around the base: The most classic and easiest option to apply. Simply wrap it around the cake and secure it with a little icing or edible glue.
🎀 Bow-shaped ribbon: Perfect for adding an eye-catching touch to the center or side of the cake.
🎀 Ribbon with additional details: Add natural flowers, pearls or rhinestones to make the ribbon stand out even more.
🎀 Cascading ribbon: Place ribbons in free fall to give a sense of movement and fluidity.
💡 Marbade's Tip: To prevent the ribbon from absorbing moisture from the cake, place a thin layer of fondant or waxed paper between the ribbon and the frosting.
