thank you for posting this....your cake is absolutely stunning, purple is such a hard color to do well

Thanks for the tutorial. Though I do my bows with wire and couple up like a flower with florist tape(orange gift box in my pictures) this is another method I'll like to try out, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful workmanship!! Thanks so much.

Thank you for this. I now have the confidence to give it a try!

great pics, thanks for sharing!

thanks, I love your cutting tool, where did you find it? TIA

I will give this a try next time I need a full bow, what a beautiful cake, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful cake.........Thanks for sharing

Love the cake! I actually had a request for a silver and purple--themed cake and I was at a loss for how to do it, and wow, you nailed it!

thank you so much for sharing for people like me who have not made a bow before once again thank you,

I am so glad that it was a help to so many people.
I still make bows the same way, but I do make some different sizes to fit in places a bit better.

for a fuller bow, I put the bow loops around an empty wrapping paper cylinder, it makes the loops rounder.
I cut notches in the opposite sides of a 10" tall box and several of the cylinders fits across the box , in the notches. I can hang the loops on to dry.

I'm half way done making the loops. Soooo much easier to do! I adjusted the length of the bows because I'm doing just a 6" cake.

I'll post a picture in a week or two.

Thanks so much-- I just love this place!

Thanks! Its great to see pictures showing how to do somethings.. The final cake looked amazing as well!

Thanks! I have issues making bows, so this seems like it will help me!

Thank you so much for posting this you have no idea the number of gum paste loops I have broken trying to get them into a bow.

In your debt for ever!!!!

I have 2 questions. why do you use 50/50 gumpaste and fondant instead of just gumpaste and where did you find those long toothpicks?

Thanks

Hi All
Can anyone let me know where to find flat headed toothpicks?? I am from Michigan. I can only find the round ones?? Thanks to all.
