| My future DIL has asked me to post this to see if anyone can help us find what we need. Here is her question:
I have a favor to ask. I need to find out what type of ribbon to buy to give to my cake lady for our cake. She said she needs a type of ribbon that won't bleed onto the cake icing (red ribbon on white icing). I've been searching online looking for an answer, but thought maybe you could post a message on a few of the forums that you visit and see if anyone knows anything. My mom and I asked at Michael's on Sat. and they didn't know anything. I'd like to use a claret red satin ribbon about 1 1/2 - 2 inches wide.Thanks! Any help will be appreciated. |

| I have seen ribon used on cakes often in the last year or so and none of them have bled. Have you tried purchasing a small piece of the ribbon of your choice and experimenting with it at home? I believe that the satin ribbon is better to use than the grosgrain type, which definitely bleeds. |

| the ribbon that *will* bleed is usually the papery ribbon. Any decent fabric ribbon shouldn't bleed onto the cake. Or, if it does (test it first, maybe w/ butter or something), you might be able to eliminate that w/ prewashing. If you want to splurge, call the folks at MasterstrokeCanada (which is the main ribbon source for Martha Stewart Weddings) and order your ribbon fromthem; i hear the folks there are real nice, and they'll be able to tell you whether you'll have a problem w/the ones they sell. |
