I have a present style cake due at 4:00 (you know the cute ones with bow on the top?) and my bow just fell apart! I made it out of Wilton Fondant and all the loops on the bottom row broke. I re-made all the loops (again out of Wilton Fondant, as it's all I have), but now I'm not sure they will be dry in time. What's the best way to dry fondant and QUICKLY? Also, is there a more secure way to fasten the bow to the top than a buttercream center?

Thanks!!

Maybe have a fan blowing on it? I'm not sure. You might could use Royal Icing to secure the bow to the top, or some florist wire? I know I'm not much help. Hopefully someone can help you out fairly quickly. Good Luck. Hugs!!!

dry them in the oven with the light on, no heat. Place them on styrofoam if you have it so the air can circulate underneath. Next time be sure to mix some tylose or gum trag or gumpaste with your fondant for faster drying and more strength.

Im not so sure that your bow will have time to dry thoroughly without tylose or gumpaste mixed in...but definately next time you try a bow try it doing it all in GP ....dries quickly and more sturdy

I would hang them over a piece of pcv pipe or a broom handle and blow a fan on them. Mine seem to dry petty quickly by hanging over the pipe, but I don't use the Wilton fondant, I use Satin Ice. Good luck.
