How to Decorate a Wedding Cake with Ribbon ① Bow Tie

First up, we have the classic "bow tie" ♡

without the fluttery tails, it creates a cute and charming atmosphere ♩

Decorating with lots of small ribbons makes it look adorable from any angle, while a big bow creates a stunning impact!＊

The double loops provide an elegant flair to the design＊

How to Decorate a Wedding Cake with Ribbon ③ Wave Ribbon

This ribbon, where loops are connected, is called "wave ribbon" ♡

Having more loops creates a glamorous atmosphere, and

having fewer loops gives it a cute, charming vibe, which is a lovely feature ♡

It’s nice that you can adjust the number of loops depending on the design of the wedding cake＊

How to Decorate a Wedding Cake with Ribbon ④ French Bow

The most popular way to decorate wedding cakes with ribbons is probably the "French bow," right?

Besides the ribbons coming from the French bow, wrapping ribbons around the lower tier also adds a touch of elegance ♡

How to Decorate a Wedding Cake with Ribbon ⑤ Pom-Pom Bow

If there are no hanging ribbons from the French bow, it's called a "pom-pom bow" ♡

The pom-pom bow is best placed on top of the cake for a cute touch ♡
