Hi Niha, when I cover a board with fondant, I put a thin layer of shortening onto the board to help the fondant stick and just lay the fondant on and then trim it with a pizza cutter or knife. I then wrap a ribbon around the edge of the board by securing it with tiny dots of hot glue usually every 2 or 3 inches. Hope I explained this OK, and it helps you.

Here is a picture of one of the cake boards that I covered with fondant so you can get a picture of what I described above.

I agree with Toni, a thin layer of shortening on the board works great for me too. I use a glue stick and run it around the edge of the board to adhere the ribbon but I’ve used a hot glue gun too.

I dampen the board with a little water instead of shortening. Works a treat. As for the ribbon, double sided tape is great, x.
BTW, Whitecrafty, I love your baby shower cake! :))))
