that is so pretty! do you prefer making bows using gumpaste than fondant?

absolutely! I like that it can be rolled much thinner and dries a lot faster...plus it hardens really well, just overnight. My fondant bows took a week to get hard.

So pretty! Nice job!

Beautiful Cake. I like how you used different groupings of dots on each cake.

very pretty. so elegant. like a pretty easter dress..

Your cake is beautiful I love your bow.

This picture has convinced me to start working with gumpaste, beautiful!

did you trim the edges of your cakes or use a specific pan to get that lovely rounded look?

Absolutely stunning! Just out of curiosity, what's Tahitian vanilla? Thx!

I trim the corners of the cake slightly with a knife...mostly so that my fondant doesn't tear at all as I am covering my cakes. "Tahitian vanilla" is the vanilla bean from Tahiti, like Madagascar vanilla...they have slightly different flavours depending on which region the bean is from.

That is just beautiful!! I have a lilac/silver wedding cake to do for August 16th ... I'm not very excited about what the bride picked out for her cake lol ... your's is stunning antonia74!!

Beautiful cake!! You did an amazing job!

LOVELY!!

Elegant looking cake, looks perfectly done!

I love this! I am making a wedding cake with a bow this month--I was going to use fondant, but I think I'll try gumpaste. Thanks!

Do try the gumpaste. It's so much easier (and faster) to dry it...especially in this awful humidity! Good luck!!

Awesome cake! Can you share how you put the bow together? I was going to try one next week and put it together with candy melts.

can i have a copy of recipe of your lovely cake?

Simply elegant! Fantastic job!

For my bows. I do gumpaste loops around a 1.5" wooden dowel that is dusted with icing sugar (about 20 for each bow). I let them dry for one day, then I slip them off and let them dry for another day. I learned a great trick off this website to assemble it in a small bowl...which I think is brilliant! I use matching royal icing to glue it all together nearly invisibly, then I even transport it to the wedding still in that bowl, safe and secure!
