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.
Report Abuse. You must spread butter cream on the cake before you put fondant on the cake. It acts as a glue. I do not recommend whipped cream since it is such a tempermental frosting. As for a good flavor kicker, try adding a 1/2 tsp of other flavoring like almond or orange or raspberry.ou can use ganache if you don't want to use buttercream. Personally I like to use buttercream, for the taste and how it helps to smooth out the cake and give the fondant that perfect smooth appearance. I just made a wedding cake for a friend last week...it's the first one that I've ever made.
