Scarlet Macaw Cake with most of flowers added...less macaws, of course. Thinking of adding a couple more birds of paradise to the left side and three small orchids on the front right corner. Not yet decided.

Easy, too :o)
WONDERFUL!!! Problem solved!
It is not too late, Katy, and I realized the same thing. It is hard enough to move this heavy thing without damaging the fondant which is on the flat surface of the cake board. I just got back from Walmart where I bought a coarse, almost burlap like ribbon. It is typical burlap color with a few dark flicks. Looks pretty good with the rest of the cake.
YES, thanks Katy! If all else fails, buy the appropriate material & make your own ribbon! TA-da! It is always easier coming from MY end, than on YOURS! lol
Hope this isn't too late Sandra, but I wouldn't add fondant to the edges if I were you. It will tear, crumple, shift etc everytime you pick the board up. 'Ribbon' of some sort is the best way to go imo. Perhaps you can get a strip of hessian or a ribbon with some kind of grain effect on it?
Bonnie, you always have useful ideas! Hey, just realized we are brainstorming like corporate types - LOL!
It's countdown time! Only 5 days to go. Yes, I know you are not worried, and you shouldn't be, your 'cake' is perfect!
So Gail & I are doing it for you! lol
WHEEEEEEE, I actually had a 'useful' thought!! Feeling vindicated here!! lol
The fondant idea sounds good! Worth a try!
You know,Bpnnie, I can't paint it, but maybe put a very thin strip of fondant over it. The crinkles would definitely show through.
I have actually been trying to find a burlap strip - you know, great minds....
Maybe a strip of burlap, tinted with this & that? lol Thinking out loud here. Again! lol
