I highly recommend BlakesCakes' instructions for freezing.  In August, my DH and I drove from West Texas to California with 2 frozen cakes - 1 bc and 1 fondant.  They were in boxes and double-wrapped with plastic.  The...
I think it's very obvious why no one is getting a refund. They spent all the subscription money getting the "upgrade" on the website.  It's called Throwing Good Money After Bad. Definitely NOT an improvement.

If it's just going to be "around" the cake and not stuck in it as well, why don't you use the wired tinsel with stars? I doubt that it's food-safe, but if it only touches the decorations you'd probably be ok.
I've seen tutorials where the center was rolled and then the outside was rolled very flat and wrapped around the center. By the way, I LOVE your Ring Pop Cake Pops - - very cute!
You can also get a shiny effect on very smooth fondant by brushing it with melted shortening.
If you can get chocolate chips or block chocolate, you can use this as well. Just stir in a couple of tablespoons of butter to about 12 ounces after it is melted. The same for white chocolate.
Shortening would make it more moist. If you have access to black fondant, you can mix it 50/50 with the modeling chocolate and that will take care of any elasticity issues, as well as help it hold its shape.
