How to attach ribbon to the sides of cakeboard? - Page 2

I generally pin it on using decorative pins. I can pull the ribbon taut, pin, pull, pin, and then fold in the cut ends and double pin those.

I buy cake drums with a perfectly smooth edge. They are hard as rocks but light as a feather, and have no bend or flexibility whatsoever. Unfortunately, the only place I have ever found them online is from the big bad cake supply store "whch shall not be named". But I am more or less spoiled by those drums, and addicted.

They are foil covered, but the edge has a strip of thick paper wrapped around, so there is zero folding/pleating/bumpiness that you get with most drums.

Thanks for your reply Rae!! but I'm a little confused, does this mean that you use the pins as part of the actual decoration? or are they hidden somehow??

If my crystal, colored, or pearl headed pins fit into the deco, I use them to enhance it. If it needs to be more subtle, I use tiny headed silver or gold pins.
