Greetings, I was just wondering....if there was a way for you to create "present bows" would you (decorators) be interested? I am creating something that will allow you to easily create these bows out of gumpaste, fondant, etc. Yes, I am also a bit of an inventor. Please let me know - thanks and have a great cake day!

That would be cool, but there is one way already using a mold: http://www.theredhotkitchen.com/PackageBowInstructions.html

Hi, Duane,
Do you have any suggestions how to create a flying eagle for a cake? I'm trying to find a mold for either chocolate or marzipan. Have a project this coming weekend to make a cake honoring a 67-year old who just got her AA degree! I wanted to put her diploma in its mouth at the corner of a full sheet cake.

Any ideas?
Thanks, ButtercreamGail

I don't need anything but gumpaste, something to cut with and something to use to form the bows, all things I have already. I really don't think there needs to be any other 'quick fix' thing for them as they are already pretty easy to do with out some fancy gadget.

Always interested in toys if they don't break the bank.

I agree with Tiggy2 Your cakes are amazing!

God Bless,
Sharon

i love my cake toys. always interested in what anyone has to show and tell.

You're being a bit vague, cakesmith_duane. Are you talking mold, cutter, house elf???

FlourPots - I checked out the site with the molds and love it. Maybe some folks are right - too many toys can be a bad thing. TexasSugar - great job on the weight loss, I wish I could get motivated to do the same. Take care - keep the comments coming. I haven't seen many present type bows, so I wanted to find out if there was a need/want. Thanks.
