stacked cake, pale pink and black bow made of fondant. It was painted with gel to give it a leathery look.

wow, thank you everyone for the nice comments! This was actually my second bow(the first one was for this cake and it turned out terrible so i redid it), a few people on here helped me out with it. I used a whole jar of black wilton dye for the fondant. I used a paint brush and brushed on the piping gel. The gel i think helped the bow look like more of a deeper black. I didnt use any color in the gel , just plain ol clear gel over the top.

Great cake!! I would also like to know about using the gel on the bow, did you use color in the gel or just put gel over the colored bow?
