Hello there, I’ve just finished putting the ribbons on my cakes. Just use Pritt glue stick. Don’t use the cheap ones coz they will only smudge and ruin your ribbons. Hope this helps.:) -- Ivy, Caerphilly, http://www.cupncakesbyivy.com |

I use a hot glue gun, and only use a small dot of glue every 2 to 3 inches. Holds well, and also is easily removed. I don’t cover my cake boards with fondant anymore. I cover with decorative paper or fabric and then clear contact paper. -- Toni, Pennsylvania |

Exactly as whitecrafty said. I use hot glue gun, but only a few inches at a time or it dries too quickly. -- Tiff - MA www.facebook.com/sweetbeecakery |

i use double sided tape or cloth tape that you find in a fabric store. It’s really good. -- Karen www.frostedwithemotion.com or follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Frosted-With-Emotion/158157640910610 |

Never thought of double sided tape…great idea! I’ve always used the hot glue gun, works great as long as you go a couple inches at a time and use a ribbon that the glue won’t bleed through. -- Stacy, Battle Creek Michigan - www.bumbleberries.net | facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/bumbleberries/160218613994258 |

I used double sided tape and it really didn’t stick well. It probably depends on the ribbon and the weather, but I like the glue gun better. Just be sure to use small amounts so where you used doesn’t leave a bump visible from the other side and don’t pull the ribbon super taut between dots of glue. |
