Gumpaste bands, or edible ribbons, are one of the latest trends in wedding cakes. This versatile and easy design element allows for creativity without adding a lot of cost to the cake. Several ribbon designs are demonstrated to show a few of the many possibilities. The advantage of using gumpaste is that it can be colored to match the bride’s colors exactly, rather than having to find a fabric ribbon similar to the color. You can use the gumpaste ribbons on both fondant-covered and buttercream-iced cakes. Gumpaste works better than fondant for the bands because it stretches less. With a little practice, the ribbon can be applied by one person without help.
