BAKING PROJECT

Making ribbon is quite easy and I guess most of us already know how to do it. I would like to suggest a great gadget to have, to emboss some dotted lines along the ribbon to make it look better. This is a cutter/ embosser, price is reasonable, around RM16.00.

All you do is just roll the wheel to get the needlework effect.

I don’t actually measure my strips when making ribbon. I just cut and adjust the length of the ribbon, based on the size of the cake.

For ribbon and drapes, it’s better to mix equal amount of fondant and gumpaste, to make it more pliable and have that beautiful curves. Put some cotton balls in the bow until it is dry and doesn’t droop. The above ribbon was done only using fondant (and in a rush..) so it looks a little bit stiff. I just wanted to show the embossed effect which makes the whole ribbon looks real.

It’s Saturday, beautiful morning, only thing it hasn’t rain for quite a long time here. Anyway, have a happy weekend, more time to explore your cake decorating ! Take care.

All the best for www.cookingbookmark.com. I see very few Indonesian sites there, so maybe Bundazasha can help to add more links. It is certainly nice to get to know other foodie blogs in neighboring countries.
