I am newbie and love the bows w/ the little twirls but I have no clue how to make them I was thinking of using fondant and wrapping it around a wooden spoon... Can someone tell me how to make them .. Thank you

Thats how I make my twirls. I wrap them around a wooden dowel dusted with a powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture, so they don't stick. HTH

You got it girl! You may wanna make a combo of fondant and gumpaste to make it harder when it dries.

I actually use a fondant tool which is thiner than a spoon handle. Just slide them off and let them dry!

I add a little gumpaste or tylose to the fondant so they dry harder and faster. I've had problems with straight fondant twirls breaking.

Unsharpened pencils work like a charm, and you can get a whole pack of them (for making multiple twirsl at once) for like twenty cents! Hard to beat that!

I like to make different sizes of the twirls for my cakes, so I use dowels, straws and skewers. Twirls are fun to decorate with and adds PARTY! to it!

Don't forget to dust whatever stick you are using with cornstarch or your little twirls (I call them curliques) will not slide off!

Don't ask me how I know that, hehe.

I use skewers and dowels for mine. Also, I use gumpaste in the mixture. Fondant breaks alone....HTH....and good luck!

THANK YOU thank you all for all the tips I am going to do some when I get out of work again THANK YOU!

I believe Bob Ross once said, "There are no mistakes... only happy accidents." I say, "Yah, right! You haven't seen me try to paint!"

But hey, passing on your knowledge makes it worth that little bump in the road, right? You learned something valuable and can keep someone else from doing the same thing! I call that: win-win!!
