This was the 2nd cake I entered at the local fair. It was entered as a Celebration Cake. This cake took first place and best of show at the fair. It also generated the order for the 23 centerpiece wedding cakes. This was my first loopy bow and my first competition cake.
Thank you! I set them up on their sides for this cake ~ when I made the 23 wedding cakes I used poly. pipe and hung the loops over it until they dried.
no, they were 100% fondant. So was the butterfly and side decorations. I used a 50/50 fondant/gumpaste mixture when I made the wedding cake bows because these were so fragile though. The 100% fondant wouldn't have worked if they'd been thinner.
Thank you! The butterfly is actually molded fondant that was dried and i placed them into a piped royal icing body on card stock that was folded into a "v" to hold the wings up until the royal icing dried.
This is the most gorgeous cake I have ever seen !!! It goes into my favorite album and I hope I will be able to get as good as you are some day. I want to do something great for my daughter's first birthday and I think I found it.

How did you get the loops to stay round as it dries. It is beautiful!!

Very delicate!
That is sooo cute! You could also use it for a baby shower.
Baby shower, wedding shower... I was glad the category was "celebration cake" because it is so versatile!
the bows must made of gumpaste and not fondant right? I love how the loops stay in place! Very neat!

What size cake is this? Just so I can have a clearer picture on the size of that BEAUTIFUL bow.
Thank you! It was an 8" square.
A beautiful cake!!! How or what did you use for the butterfly??
Thanks! It was fondant. Emboss the fondant and cut out the wing shape then after the wings dry pipe the body using royal icing or chocolate.
Just stunning! Your bow is just so perfect! I can only hope to get this good!!
