Answers: I was wondering if there is a such thing as colored ribbon that I can put on a cake that you can eat? If I have to use "real" ribbon how would I go about cutting and serving the cake?

That looks like real ribbon, but you could make edible ribbon that looks pretty real with fondant (which you can buy or make)color it with food coloring and brush it with Luster Dust to give it a shiney look. To serve a cake with real ribbon you just pull the ribbon off before you cut and serve, it should be pretty easy. If they have a coordinator, I would have her remove the ribbon just before cutting or if they want it in the pic while cutting the cake.. you can have the coordinator cut the ribbon and place it around the cake with the cutting section open until the pics are done, then remove it for serving

You can use fondant colored to what ever color you like and wrap it around like ribbon. Fondant made from marshmellows is the best and very pliable. Melt marshmellows and stir in confectioners sugar to the desired thickness.
They do that with metallic icing (but I think the bow on top is real). You would probably have to get it from a specialty cake decorating shop and it probably isn't cheap - they put real flecks of silver or gold in those.
You can use fondant rolled out and cut in strips and then paint with food paints. Go to a pro shop or order online if you want truly beautiful colors. This place has some gold and silver edible dusts that you can use to make it look more like real ribbon and I am sure they will be happy to help you with suggestions. They even have some silicone molds if you want it to look like lace ribbon.

I do know that they make a wrap that looks like saran wrap but is flavored and completely edible. You might be able to shape that into ribbons, but I do not know where to purchase it.
