Hi Eman, I layed the chocolate paste stripes on wax paper using a ruler to guide me to make them straight and then I folded the wax paper around my cake. This is the same technique that is usually used to make a chocolate collar, i just used modelling chocolate instead of melted chocolate;-)

Did you do this like the inlaid stripes Marina taught? Or did you do them strip by strip? I've heard of people doing them strip by strip, but that would probably drive me batty!
