Cake ribbon help please!?

I am trying to figure out what length ribbon i should use for the layers of my cake. It will be a 4 tier cake done by rolling pin. If you have used a ribbon for your cake, can you let me know what width you have used. if you have a photo, it would be unbelievably helpful.

Thank you so much!

I think Rolling Pin wants 10 yards, just to be safe.

Thank you! i knew about the length. i was wondering about the width of the ribbon... there are so many options it is confusing. i dont know what looks good.

Ohhh ... Yea, I had trouble finding the right width too ... but only because of my own personal preference. I think anything under 2' should look good on one of their cakes.

I don't ... but if you go on their website, we are using the 'red ribbon #24' cake as a reference - our colors are blue, so we will be doing blue piping instead of the white, and I think we are nixing the ribbon altogether - I can't seem to find one I like enough.
