In album: bow

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
