beautiful cake, I have a question...if you don't mind me asking...is the cake covered with fondant or buttercream? If buttercream, does the bow absorb the moisture from the icing?

The cake is buttercream and I spray my ribbons down with Pam before applying them so that at least they don't get all blotchy.

This is exactly the picture I was looking for... im curious how they are so perfect and what BC recipe you use that allows it to get that perfect. Thanks! Great Job!

I am in complete awww of your cake!!!! The sharpness of the rounded edges - it is flawless!!!! How did you make the chocolate topper?

Thanks all!! Yes, the pam makes them greasy, but it doesn't hurt the look and its nto drippy or anything. I use SMBC and that helps a lot with those 90degree corners, I find that American BC wants to pull when I knock the top edge into the center. The chocolate letters are just traced onto plastic over Word fonts. After they set, I attach toothpicks to the back.
