Ribbon for wedding cake

I would be careful with using flowers from a local shop to place on your wedding cake. Make sure to let them know this will be for your cake, I've heard people having reactions from certain pesticides on flowers, yikes.

I LOVE the first one! Colors are gorgeous! The second one is a bit dark and hard to see..

I have also heard of the icing seeping through the ribbon or the ribbon dye coming off onto the icing. Perhaps a cake baker can tell you what kind of ribbon to get.

And, yes, make sure the florist knows the flowers will be around food.

Maybe use preserved flowers?

Waterproof ribbon

I had ribbon on my cake it was the color purple and it didn't seep through which I did have buttercream also. It was just plain old ribbon from the craft store.

I would try those plastic-y ribbon you can get.

And I second being careful about flowers. Not only the pesticides, but some flowers are toxic. Definitely talk to someone who knows what will be safe or not- or buy sugar flowers.

You can purchase edible ribbon strips from a bakery supply store.
