As far as I know you can.

My first bow on my second stacked cake. Thanks to the person who gave these great instructions. One thing I did forget to do the.... color the candy melts to match the color the the bow. I will post the cake. Green B-day cake...

Sina Very Happy

These instructions and photos are wonderfully helpful. I've read instructions for this before, but they didn't make sense to me until now. Thank you. Thumbs Up!

Just looked at this as I was looking for instructions to pass on to other folks. There is a typo in it, where it stated to roll to 14 inches thickness, it should be 1/4 inch thickness.

I tried to use that to hold cookies on a stick and it did not hold! The Wilton brand held the cookies on just fine but the CK Products did not! I guess the CK Products would work on the bow because the loops aren't as heavyas the cookies.

Haven't tried that brand, I use Merckens, but yes it should work just fine, it is really just being used to keep the loops together and you make a fairly large gloop of it.
The candy melts aren't meant to hold cookies on a stick, on a stick. I still find the best way to make cookies on a stick, is to insert the stick or craft stick while the cookies is being cooked and sometimes it is best, for the larger cookies, to put extra dough in the area where the cookie goes over the stick.

I have a question when doing the two strips for the ribbon ends how you you get them to be wavy like in the picture before bow is constructed. I also have a question on how fondant swags or drapes on the cakes are done(how to get them to look soft and to lay like cloth). Also on average how many loops for a decent sized bow. At the beginning of the instructions where you start with a tennis sized ball are you supposed to half that then start the rolling out process or just start rolling with that amount.Thanks

thanks, for the picture instructions. I think I can feel somewhat confidant when I try my first bow now!!!!

Here is my first one.. I got the instruction on here. I used royal frosting for my glue colored the same shade. To get the tails of your bow to have a nice shape to them, just put some rolled up paper towels under it.

Thanks Daniela,
Before I glued the bow together I assembled it in a 6 inch round cake pan with out the glue, To get an idea how I wanted it to look. They are not hard to do at all and they look so pretty.

Hi angelcake4u


They should be ok on the cake, make sure you put a nice amount of buttercream under it to keep it in place. Don't forget to post your pictures.
