I’ve been going a little (okay, a lot) crazy with cake bunting lately. I first saw it on Etsy, when Charla, my friend and colleague, requested it for her daughter Brooklyn’s second birthday party cake. It seems that now there’s been a proliferation of cake bunting on Etsy, but this artist remains my favorite. This one is particularly cute:
I also stumbled across this fiesta bunting one day on Eat Drink Pretty.
Anyway, when I saw that cake bunting I loved it–loved it!–and decided to make my own. The only difference is that I make mine out of fondant. I use two lollipop sticks and tie the ribbon to each. Fondant does not like to stick to ribbon, so now when I make cake bunting I actually back each fondant piece with a smaller piece of fondant, wet them both with water or egg white so they adhere, and sandwich the ribbon in between. Here are some of my recent cakes with fondant bunting.

Super cute title! I adore all your designs! So fun.
Love it and I love that it is edible!
Very cute. I love the Boo bunting. Made me smile. Lovely work Erica.. I enjoy reading your blog and love hearing about your inspirations.
Its nice to see the ideas,colours,light bulb moments that go into the cake, rather than just pictures of cakes all the time.
Inspiration comes from such strange and beautiful places.
Love your work!
