I had it on the cake all day and when I took it off I scraped the buttercream off and kept the bow.... I still have it and it still looks nice. angelcake4u Regular Member Joined: Aug 13, 2005 Posts: 177 Location: Manchester, TN Birthday: May 10 Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 8:28 am  Thanks, I am so worried about this cake. I made my bows with MMF instead of gumpaste. The loops don't look quite as thin as the one's made with gumpaste. It will be the highest (price) paid cake that I have made so far. Did that make sense? lol sue_dye Frequent Member Joined: Feb 12, 2005 Posts: 323 Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 8:42 am  If you will feel better putting it on at time of delivery that will be fine. I understand you don't want any thing to go wrong. I'm sure it will turn out ok. angelcake4u Regular Member Joined: Aug 13, 2005 Posts: 177 Location: Manchester, TN Birthday: May 10 Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 8:53 am  I think I am thinking about it too much. I'm sure you know how that feels. Thanks for your help! itsacake Forum Addict Joined: Jul 20, 2005 Posts: 542 Location: San Jose, California USA Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 9:55 am  I haven't done a huge number of bows, but when I have, I cut out a round of gumpaste and attached the bow to that before putting it on the cake. That way it could be removed in one piece before cutting and I didn't have to worry about the icing breaking down the bow, or colors bleeding or.....

Can someone please help me understand if this just happens or if I am just doing something wrong? dky Frequent Member Joined: Aug 17, 2005 Posts: 417 Location: Sydney, Australia Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 5:07 pm  Thank you for the easy to follow instructions... I have only attempted one before and it was a flop, but having said that I did not do anything remotley similar to your instructions. I feel confident the next one will be just right. traci Forum SuperStar! Joined: May 07, 2005 Posts: 2298 Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2005 12:46 pm  Hi. I am curious as to how many strips of fondant you will need to cut??? About how many loops will go on each row??? Do you need to mix ant gumtex with the fondant??? I would like to try this but do not want to make a huge mess!!! Thanks!!! traci Cady Frequent Member Joined: Jun 24, 2005 Posts: 258 Location: UP, Michigan Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2005 1:10 pm  I like these instructions sure beets the way i've been trying to do it!!!!!! izzybee Forum Addict Joined: Oct 20, 2005 Posts: 541 Location: Honey Brook, PA Birthday: Jul 20 Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2005 12:02 pm  I can't thank you enough! I used the candy melts and that is the perfect glue because it sets up so quickly. Perfect the first time! Thanks again.
